Bonu: बोनू
by Anuja Chauhan‘मैं अपनी बहनों को केंचुओं की तरह तड़पाऊंगी... यह घर तो किसी कीमत पर नहीं बिकेगा। अरे मेरी जुत्ती भी इसे न बेचे। और अगर मैं न रही तो मेरी आत्मा किसी को इसे छूने तक नहीं देगी!’ स्वर्गवासी बिनोदिनी ठाकुर तय कर चुकी थी कि वह नई दिल्ली के पॉश इलाके हेली रोड में बनी अपने बाऊजी की आलीशान कोठी में से ख़ुद को मिला हिस्सा कभी बिकने नहीं देगी। और उसकी बेटी बोनू के लिए अपनी मां की कही बात पत्थर की लकीर थी। लेकिन अपनी चार रौबदार मौसियों से कैसे निबटे जो किसी भी तरह इस घर को बेचने पर अमादा थीं? एक बेरोज़गार और सिंगल; एक सिर-मुंडाई, जलनखोर; एक को ‘देश बचाने के लिए’ पैसे चाहिए; तो एक बोनू के बचपन के क्रश की सौतेली मां। बचपन का प्यार जो अब मशहूर बॉलीवुड डायरेक्टर समर वीर सिंह था, जिसने बीजे से वादा कर दिया था कि वह उनका घर बेचकर पैसा सबमें बराबर बांटेगा... छोटी बोनू के पहले शब्द थे ‘बॉल्ज’, और वास्तव में वह बहादुर, नकचढ़ी, किसी की न सुनने वाली ख़ूबसूरत लड़की थी। लेकिन उसकी हिम्मत क्या उसे इस इमोशनल ब्लैकमेलिंग से बचा पाएगी? और परेशान करने वाले किरायदारों, लालची बिल्डरों, झूठों और समर की गहरी आंखो से भी तो बचना था।
Boo
by Neil SmithBoo is the highly anticipated debut novel from one of the most incomparable voices in Canadian literature: Bang Crunch author Neil Smith. Oliver Dalrymple, nicknamed "Boo" because of his pale complexion and staticky hair, is an outcast at his Illinois middle school--more interested in biology and chemistry than the friendship of other kids. But after a tragic accident, Boo wakes up to find himself in a very strange sort of heaven: a town populated only by 13-year-old Americans. While he desperately wants to apply the scientific method to find out how this heaven works (broken glass grows back; flashlights glow without batteries; garbage chutes plummet to nowhere), he's confronted by the greatest mystery of all--his peers. With the help of his classmate Johnny, who was killed at the same time, Boo begins to figure out what exactly happened to them (and who they really were back in America) through this story about growing up, staying young and the never-ending heartbreak of being 13.From the Trade Paperback edition.

by Rene GutteridgeTalk about Working out Your Faith with Fear and Trembling.The biggest thing to happen to Skary, Indiana, is renowned horror novelist Wolfe Boone-or, "Boo," as the locals fondly call him. For the past sixteen years, the reclusive writer has been the town's greatest attraction, having unintentionally turned the once-struggling Skary into a thriving tourist-trap for the dark side: from the Haunted Mansion restaurant, famous for its "bloody fingers" (fries splattered with ketchup) to Spooky's Bookstore (where employees dress like the walking dead). But when a newly reformed Wolfe suddenly quits the genre and subsequently starts to pursue Skary's favorite girl-next-door, Ainsley Parker, the little town made famous by his writings becomes truly horrified. Soon, a scheme is plotted to put the fright back into Skary-and get their most famous resident out of love and back into the thrill business. Filled with humor, small town charm, and a gentle message of enduring faith, Boo shows how even the most colorful group of busybodies and hypocrites can become a community changed forever by God.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Now the little town with the big marketing hook is up a creek–and on the brink of bankruptcy.

Yet even as Boo’s literary career gracelessly plummets, his fiancée, wholesome Ainsley Parker, is shooting to stardom as the media’s darling new domestic diva. Weave in a dreaming bride with a bargain dress and a few too many pounds on her hips, an unconventional therapist who has Skary in his thrall, a depressed cat, a dogged busybody, and a horde of strange, ghostly figures traipsing in and out of the woods, and it’s easy to see why Skary is the quirkiest–and most charming–town around.
