We’re adding twelve new titles to Peak Picks in November and December!
In fiction, Ian Rankin returns with The Heights, a razor-sharp, twisty standalone thriller that exposes the lives of the 1% in London’s most exclusive high rise; Jon Scalzi’s latest, Monsters of Ohio, is a heartfelt exploration of a tentacular solution to the struggles of the modern world that R.L. Stine calls “wonderful chilling fun!”; from Nina de Gramont comes Peregrine Hill, a sweeping novel set in Gilded Age New York where a forced marriage, family secrets, and the fight for freedom collide in an unforgettable story about a desperate mother and headstrong daughter navigating a world built on men’s appetites and women’s silence; Jennifer E. Smith returns with Rabbit Rabbit, a heartwarming novel about what it means to chase the life–and love–of your dreams when you meet the right person at the wrong time; Casey McQuiston continues Alex and Henry’s love story with Red, White & Royal Blue: The Private Correspondence, a brand-new novella sequel told through notes and letters of the unforgettable story that captured hearts around the world!; in Louise Kennedy’s Stations, an Irish woman is haunted by the unsettled boy who befriended her as an outcast teenager, long after he drifts out of reach; and when two young men meet during a tech internship, it sparks an intense friendship–and even more intense competition–in Lucy Tan’s sophomore novel, Tiger’s Mouth, a sweeping novel of privilege, identity, and ambition.
In nonfiction, Caitlin Moran helps us find hope in seemingly hopeless times with this laugh-out-loud and heart-filling story of finding a way forward in dark times in How to Be Hopeful; discover must-make recipes that are decadently delicious yet simple enough to learn by heart, in Corre Larkin’s Season to Taste, the debut cookbook from the wildly popular @CocoLarkinCooks; Gary Shteyngart’s first collection of essays, The Sensualist, is a delightfully hilarious pursuit of the sublime, the absurd, and the purest of pleasures; LeVar Burton, the legendary actor behind Roots, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Reading Rainbow shares never-before-told stories from a life that has shaped generations in the “compassionate, vulnerable memoir” (Time) Take My Word for It; and “Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Mona Chalabi blends expert interviews and razor-sharp analysis with striking graphics” (Time) in Ten Lives, an incisive exploration of money–and the lack of it–in America told through the lives of ten individuals.
