The Thought Readers (Mind Dimensions #1)
by Dima ZalesEveryone thinks I'm a genius. Everyone is wrong. Sure, I finished Harvard at eighteen and now make crazy money at a hedge fund. But that's not because I'm unusually smart or hardworking. It's because I cheat. You see, I have a unique ability. I can go outside time into my own personal version of reality--the place I call "the Quiet"--where I can explore my surroundings while the rest of the world stands still. I thought I was the only one who could do this-- until I met her. My name is Darren, and this is how I learned that I'm a Mind Reader.
Thought You Were Dead
by Nick Craine Terry GriggsMeet the Perfect Man...no, no, he's not the hero of Thought You Were Dead. That would be Chellis Beith, literary researcher, slacker, reluctant detective, and a man bedeviled by every woman in his life. This is the most unconventional of murder mysteries, turning the genre completely on its head, by bludgeoning flat language and Puritanical sensibilities with evident glee.

Thoughts of an Average Joe
by Brian DanielsA collection of humorous commentaries from New England's Joe Wright, an ordinary, middle-aged man struggling to understand and cope with life in the twenty-first century and embrace the ways of the modern world. In 2009, author Brian Daniels created Joe Wright--a clueless, middle-aged, thick-around-the-middle man hopelessly stuck in the twentieth century. Thoughts of an Average Joe is the hilarious rambling of a man whose commentaries voice the confusion and angst of a simple, old dude trying to make sense of life in the modern world. In this book, Joe offers his thoughts about the many issues that confuse or annoy him: "I'm Not Ready for the Wireless World," "Poachers Are Not Hunters," and "I'm Comfortable in My Old Skin," are just a few examples. He, like many men, struggles to understand his "little woman" and others of her gender in several essays, including "I'm Afraid of the Little Woman," and "I've Noticed That Women Are Not Like Men." You'll meet Joe, Smalltown (his beloved northern New England hometown), his fascinating friends and family members, Dan's Market, Small-Mart, Blake's Esso Station, and the Smalltown News. He hopes his stories will bring a smile to your face and warm your heart. Maybe you'll even agree with most of his Thoughts. If not, he'll be quick to tell you . . . well . . . you are just wrong.
A Thousand Miles
by Bridget MorrisseyAfter a decade of silence, Dee and Ben reunite for a road trip they once promised to take. It&’s going to be a bumpy ride. Dee Matthews is the cohost of the smash-hit podcast Did I Forget To Tell You?, where she interviews family, friends, and past lovers. Nothing is off limits, except for one man (known on the show only as Name Redacted) who happens to be her high school best friend Ben. During their senior year spring break, Dee and Ben took a road trip to visit Ben&’s grandma. They buried a time capsule in her backyard, pledging to return in ten years to open it. Then their friendship fell apart in spectacular fashion. They haven&’t spoken to each other since. Ben Porter&’s life since that moment has been unexciting but comfortable, until his grandma reveals a family secret that flips his whole world upside down. Her dying wish is for him to stop doing what is safest and go after what he really wants. He starts by showing up on Dee&’s doorstep with every intention of fulfilling their long-ago promise. Despite her reservations, Dee can&’t say no. This trip could be her chance to give her listeners the Name Redacted interview they&’ve been begging for—and finally put her unresolved feelings for Ben to rest. As the miles fly by, Dee and Ben's friendship reignites. But the closer they get to reaching their destination, the more apparent it becomes that their attraction to each other cannot be ignored. Their last adventure ended in disaster, and they&’re about to find out if any hope of a future together is in the rear view mirror.
A Thousand Miles to Graceland
by Kristen Mei ChaseThe journey of a thousand miles begins with sequins and a beehive wig in this sharply funny and achingly tender debut novel about mothers, daughters, and the surprising power of Elvis. Grace Johnson can&’t escape the feeling that her life is on autopilot—until her husband announces he&’s done with their marriage. Grace has a choice: wallow in humiliation . . . or reluctantly grant her outlandish mother&’s seventieth birthday wish with a road trip Graceland. Buckle up, Elvis. We&’re on our way. Now the two are hightailing it from El Paso to Memphis, leaving a trail of sequins, false eyelashes, and difficult memories in their wake. Between spontaneous roadside stops to psychics, wig mishaps, and familiar passive-aggressive zingers, Grace is starting to better understand her Elvis-obsessed mama and their own fragile connection. She may even have another shot at love. Apparently the King really does work in mysterious ways. But after all these years, will it ever be possible for Grace and her mom to heal the hurts of the past?

Along the way, the sheep confront their own all-too-human struggles with guilt, misdeeds, and unrequited love.

Three-Edged Sword: Riley Wolfe Thriller
by Jeff LindsayWickedly funny. Wildly twisty. The new book from the master of the heist novel. "A super-thief who leaves no trace."-Andy Garcia "An anti-hero for our times."-Sarah Dunn "A can't-miss master."-David Baldacci Super thief Riley Wolfe can do it all. He is a master of disguise, can scale a wall, and can vanish into thin air (thick air, too). He uses these unique talents to rob the richest. But this time, it's the most powerful who have him in their grips. ONE MADMAN. TWO HOSTAGES. It's not just that the high-up, rogue government agent has abducted the only two people Riley loves: it's the fact that Riley has to do the man's dirty work to set them free. It's something Riley ordinarily would find a modest day's work, infiltrating a madman's Soviet missile silo in one of the world's most remote places, all to find a secret on a tiny flash drive-but he's never had to race the clock like this. SOMETIMES TRUTH CAN BE A THREE-EDGED SWORD. From its vivid, remote locales to its John Wick-meets-Deadpool dialogue, this gripping heist novel from Jeff Lindsay, author of the Dexter series, is everything: an utterly escapist, must-read novel of espionage, thievery, love and betrayal. It twists, it turns, and keeps everything on the line until the very end. Even for Riley, it looks like this time, the only way out is through.

Three Girls and Their Brother
by Theresa RebeckA stunning novel of celebrity and the price of fame from a Pulitzer-shortlisted playwright. It was the photograph in the New Yorker which started it all. They were three young, beautiful, red-haired girls, the granddaughters of a literary lion. They were News. But it was the row over the youngest's reaction to the attentions from one of Hollywood's biggest stars that made them Celebrities. The family -- the three sisters, their brother, their mother, their normally absent father -- are sucked into a whirlwind of agents, producers, managers, photo shoots, paparazzi, journalists, stylists, parties, shows, a maelstrom they have no idea how to control. The three girls -- and their brother, an uneasy observer -- experiment with life and change, and learn to survive, each of them differently. Each of them pays a different price in their relationship with each other, with their parents and in their beliefs in themselves and the civilisation around them. Three Girls and their Brother is a novel to devour. The story is compelling, sometimes cutting, sometimes touching. The characters leap widely off the page. The setting and portrait of the celebrity scene is completely convincing, busy and yet intimate. Theresa Rebeck's first novel is a triumph.
