El álveo
by Julio Vara¿Recuerdas que te encantaba bailar? <P><P>En la España de la preguerra, sentados junto a un pequeño riachuelo, dos niños consagran su infancia a descifrar los entresijos de un mundo que, a duras penas, logran comprender. <P>Así, refutando la finitud de una inocencia casi perdida, cogidos de la mano frente a todos los vientos que la vida les trae, se hacen el juramento de no malgastar ni un instante de su tiempo ni de su sangre. <P>Es esta una historia sobre la familia, sobre la música y la danza, sobre el campo, los azadones, los rumbos marinos; sobre el incierto abismo que abre ante nuestros pies el porvenir. <P>Pero, por encima de todo, habla de un cariño tan de hierro, tan fuerte, que ni el paso del tiempo, ni la guerra, ni la misma muerte, pudieron destruir.
Alverston Park
by William FrankIn Alverston Park, author William Frank gives a deep bow to Jane Austen with a story of love and societal boundaries. Helena Mowbray, a clergyman’s daughter, warns her two younger sisters about the impossibility of marrying nobility. Yet this does little to deter the trio of charismatic Fitzosborne brothers, sons of the Earl of Alverston, who find themselves captivated by the Mowbray sisters during the London social season. Set against the opulent backdrop of Regency England, complete with grand balls, architectural splendour and society scandals, the narrative weaves in events like a secret newborn and a daring journey to Napoleon’s island prison in the South Atlantic. Through misadventures and tragedies, the tale explores the consequences of class prejudice and the elusive nature of happiness, reflecting issues still resonant in contemporary high society.

Always a Bridesmaid (for Hire) (for Hire): Stories on Growing Up, Looking for Love, and Walking Down the Aisle for Complete Strangers
by Jen GlantzIn the tradition of Sloane Crosley, Mindy Kaling, and Katie Heaney, a hilarious and insightful memoir about one New York City Millennial’s journey to find herself, her dream career, and true love, all while juggling a truly unique job as the world's only professional bridesmaid.After moving to New York City in her mid-twenties to pursue her dream of writing—and not living on the “Upper East Side” of her parents’ house anymore—Jen Glantz looked forward to a future of happy hours and Sunday brunches with her besties. What she got instead were a string of phone calls that began with, "Jen, I have something exciting to tell you!" and ended with, "I'd be honored if you would be my bridesmaid." At first she was delighted, but it wasn’t long before she realized two things: all of her assets were tied up in bridesmaid dresses, and she herself was no closer to finding The One. She couldn't do much about the second thing (though her mother would beg to differ), but she could about the first. One (slightly tipsy) night, Jen posted an ad on Craigslist advertising her services as a professional bridesmaid. When she woke up the next morning, it had gone viral. What began as a half-joke suddenly turned into a lifetime of adventure for Jen–and more insight into the meaning of love than she was getting from OKCupid—as she walked down the aisle at stranger after stranger's wedding. Fresh, funny, and surprisingly sweet, Always a Bridesmaid (For Hire) is an entertaining reminder that even if you don't have everything together, you can still be a total boss—or, at the very least, a BFF to another girl in need.
