Seventeen-year-old Brynn Riley is on a hundred committees, has earned teacher&’s pet in practically every class she&’s ever taken, and is on track to make valedictorian. But one night, Brynn makes a mistake. A big one. Why wouldn&’t the cops show up on the one night she&’s ever cut loose in her life? Why wouldn&’t she be assigned community service for one tiny mistake? And why, of all things, wouldn&’t a boy from school happen to work at the pitbull rescue where she chooses to do her community service hours? Oliver West&’s dad owns the rescue. And Oliver works there as his second in command. And Brynn and Oliver both know that she absolutely screwed him out of a major scholarship opportunity at school earlier in the semester. If he tells anyone at school that she was arrested, everything she&’s worked so hard for will be disappear. If Brynn doesn&’t want her secret spilled, she&’d better start taking Oliver seriously. He&’ll keep quiet if she helps him get another shot at the scholarship project (since she ruined it, after all). As the two get closer, the stakes begin to shift. Brynn starts to want Oliver for more than the community service checkmark that will give her back her squeaky-clean record, and Oliver, as it turns out, takes Brynn Riley very, very seriously. But, well . . . you know what they say: Nothing brings people together like blackmail, pitbulls, and court-ordered community service.

La rebelión de la ópera: Una novela que desafía al progresismo
by Carlos ManfroniEsta novela, cargada de suspenso, drama, ironía, romance y también escenas divertidas, mantiene al lector expectante y atento hasta el final. Su mensaje constituye una abierta impugnación al progresismo, al que denuncia como un sistema asfixiante y restrictivo de las libertades civiles. Andrés es un historiador argentino que vuelve a Buenos Aires en 2028 después de pasar diez años detenido injustamente en La Habana. En ese momento, no solo se entera de que sus padres fallecieron -su madre, de covid-, sino también de que el Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires está en manos de un partido radicalmente progresista que, entre otras limitaciones a las libertades civiles, prohibió la ópera, vista como un género patriarcal, y clausuró el Teatro Colón, al que utilizan sólo los 28 de diciembre para una triste ceremonia. El Obelisco fue demolido por ser considerado un monumento machista y los nombres de las calles fueron cambiados por apellidos de destacadas personalidades de izquierda o nombres indígenas. Toda la población es vigilada al extremo, hay micrófonos y cámaras incluso en los baños particulares, y se conoce el itinerario de cada habitante de la ciudad. Además, están prohibidas las manifestaciones de amor en la vía pública y no se permiten los nacimientos. En este nuevo contexto, Andrés y su reciente esposa se verán envueltos en una serie de enredos de los cuales intentarán salir con una épica revolución pacifista: la rebelión de la ópera.

Reboot: A Novel (Remakes, Reboots, And Adaptations Ser.)
by Justin TaylorA raucous and wickedly smart satire of Hollywood, toxic fandom, and our chronically online culture, following a washed-up actor on his quest to revive the cult TV show that catapulted him to teenage fameDavid Crader is a has-been. A former child actor from the hit teen drama Rev Beach, he now rotates between his new roles as deadbeat dad, recovering alcoholic, and occasional videogame voice actor. But when David is summoned to Los Angeles by Grace, his ex-wife and former co-star, he suddenly sees an opportunity for a reboot—not just of the show that made him famous, but also of his listless existence.Hollywood, the Internet, and a fractured nation have other plans, however, and David soon drinks himself to a realization: This seemingly innocuous revival of an old Buffy rip-off could be the spark that sets ablaze a nation gripped by far-right conspiracy, climate catastrophe, and mass violence.Reboot is a madcap speculative comedy for our era of glass-eyed doom-scrolling and Millennial nostalgia—and yet it&’s still full of heart.

Reborn in the USA: An Englishman's Love Letter to His Chosen Home
by Roger BennettThe #1 New York Times BestsellerOne-half of the celebrated Men in Blazers duo, longtime culture and soccer commentator Roger Bennett traces the origins of his love affair with America, and how he went from a depraved, pimply faced Jewish boy in 1980’s Liverpool to become the quintessential Englishman in New York. A memoir for fans of Jon Ronson and Chuck Klosterman, but with Roger Bennett’s signature pop culture flair and humor.Being a teenager isn’t easy, no matter where in the world you live or how much it does or doesn’t rain in your hometown. As an outsider—a private-schooled Jewish kid in working-class, heavily Catholic Liverpool—Roger Bennett wasn’t winning any popularity contests. But there was one idea, or ideal, that burned bright in Roger’s heart. That was America— with its sunny skies, beautiful women, and cool kids with flipped collars who ate at McDonald’s. When he embraced American popular culture, the dull gray world he lived in turned to neon teal—a color which had not even been invented in England yet. Introduced first through the gateway drug of The Love Boat, then to Rolling Stone, the NFL, John Hughes movies, Run-DMC, and Tracy Chapman, Roger embraced everything that would capture the imagination of a teenager growing up Stateside. When he made a real, in-the-flesh American friend who invited him over for the summer, he got to visit the promised land. A month in Chicago, and a life-changing night spent in the company of the Chicago Bears, was the first hit of freedom, of independence, of the Roger Bennett he knew he could be.(Re)Born in the USA captures the universality of growing pains, growing up, and growing out of where you come from. Drenched in the culture of the late ’80s and ’90s from the UK and the USA, and the heartfelt, hilarious sense of humor that has made Roger Bennett so beloved by his listeners, here is both a truly unique coming-of-age story and the love letter to America that the country needs right now.
Recent Studies Indicate: The Best of Sarah Bird
by Sarah Bird&“These essays are a pleasure; Bird makes her readers feel smart, urbane, and in on the joke, and that their own stories are worth sharing too.&” —Publishers Weekly When Sarah Bird arrived in Austin in 1973 in pursuit of a boyfriend who was &“hotter than lava,&” she found an abundance of storytelling inspiration (for example, her sweetheart left her for Scientology, but she got to taste a morsel of Lynda Bird Johnson&’s poorly preserved wedding cake as a temp worker at the LBJ Library). She went on to write ten acclaimed novels and hundreds of articles, developing a signature voice that combines laser-sharp insight with irreverent, wickedly funny prose in the tradition of Molly Ivins and Nora Ephron. Now collecting forty of Bird&’s best nonfiction pieces, from publications that range from Texas Monthly to the New York Times and beyond, Recent Studies Indicate presents some of her earliest work, including a prescient 1976 profile of a transgender woman, along with recent calls to political action, such as her 2017 speech at a benefit for Annie&’s List. Whether Bird is hanging out with socialites and sanitation workers or paying homage to her army-nurse mom, her collection brings a poignant perspective to the experience of being a woman, a feminist, a mother, and a Texan—and a teller of spectacular true stories. &“Delightful . . . You can open the book to just about any story and enjoy a few minutes of good reading and, more likely than not, a hearty laugh.&” ―Abilene Reporter-News &“Lively, honest . . . More timely than ever.&” —Cecile Richards
