Red Side Story (Shades of Grey #2)
by Jasper FfordeThe long-awaited follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Shades of Grey—in an EXCLUSIVE EDITION for North American readers, complete with a never-before-published short story&“Fforde's books are more than an ingenious idea. They are written with buoyant zest and are tautly plotted . . . and are embellished with the rich details of a Dickens or Pratchett.&” —The IndependentWelcome to Chromatacia, where life is strictly regulated by one&’s limited color perception. Civilization has been rebuilt after an unspoken &“Something that Happened&” five hundred years before.

Twenty-year-old Eddie Russett, a Red, is about to go on trial for a murder he didn&’t commit, and he&’s pretty certain to be sent on a one-way trip to the Green Room for execution by soporific color exposure. Meanwhile, he&’s engaged in an illegal relationship with his co-defendant, a Green, the charismatic and unpredictable Jane Grey. Negotiating the narrow boundaries of the Rules within their society, they search for a loophole—some truth of their world that has been hidden from its hyper-policed citizens. New York Times bestselling author Jasper Fforde returns to his fan-favorite Shades of Grey series with this wildly anticipated, laugh-out-loud funny and darkly satirical adventure about two star-crossed lovers on a quest to survive—even if it means upending their entire society in the process.

by Alan ColmesMost famous as the mild-mannered foil to conservative Sean Hannity on Fox's Hannity and Colmes, Alan Colmes here offers his defense of mild-mannered liberalism. He offers a number of criticisms of the "War on Terror" and how it is being conducted by the Bush administration before turning his attention to what he views the conservatives' war on liberals as unpatriotic. He also argues against the surprisingly belief in the "liberal media" and makes the case that the conservative media is often guilty of using hypocritical double standards in their arguments. Colmes frequently intersperses his musings with email exchanges he's conducted with detractors and a few fans. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)

Red, White & Royal Blue: A Novel
by Casey McQuiston* Instant NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestseller ** GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER for BEST DEBUT and BEST ROMANCE of 2019 ** BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR* for VOGUE, NPR, VANITY FAIR, and more! *What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales?When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius—his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse. Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations and begs the question: Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage, and the power, to be the people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through? Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue proves: true love isn't always diplomatic. "I took this with me wherever I went and stole every second I had to read!
