In When I Was You, author Minka Kent turns the time-tested memory-loss narrative on its head. Kent couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if she was someone else. After all, identity theft is a rampant problem in the modern era. In 2017 there were 14.4 million cases of the crime in the US. The result is a twisting novel that is sure to keep you riveted until the very last line.

Brienne Dougray hasn’t trusted her memory since a horrible attack several months before our novel begins. Since then, she’s become a shut-in, isolated from her coworkers and even her friends. The only person she has frequent contact with is her roommate, Niall.

Now there’s someone else out there claiming that she is Brienne Dougray.

But what if the person who stole your identity didn’t just steal your credentials? What if they really became you, right down to the clothes you wear? Is Brienne still herself if someone else is out there living her life, driving her car...and doing a better job at it than Brienne ever did?

When this book first landed on my desk, I knew that I had found something very special. Quirky and uplifting, both laugh-out-loud funny and intensely poignant. I was enchanted by Oliver Clock and defy you to not be blown over by him too!

Oliver Clock has constructed a carefully organized world for himself, which is perhaps just a little OCD. He’s lonely, desperate for love, and having just inherited his family’s funeral home business, not the most attractive prospect. But his secret is that he has been in love with Marie, the funeral florist, for fifteen years. He’s never been able to tell her how he feels, and when she suddenly passes away, his opportunity is lost. Devastated by her death, Oliver is given Marie’s diary and discovers that she had secretly harbored a love for him too. This brings on a realization from Oliver that perhaps he is worthy of a happy relationship after all.

This book’s sparkly wit and charm had me from the first chapter. Author Jane Riley has a way of bringing rays of light into the most bittersweet of situations and conjuring up characters who are unforgettable. A truly joyful read!

I don’t want to spoil this book for you. I want you to dive into the pages of Brian Freeman’s Thief River Falls with the same excitement and eagerness that I did. I want you to worry as Lisa Power shelters a nameless runaway, wondering why these men are after the boy. I want you to question every story as Lisa does, searching endlessly for the truth.

Most important, I want you to experience the ending the way I did: devouring the text, eager for a conclusion to a mystery that was unlike anything I’d read before.

When The Sixth Sense debuted in theaters in 1999, viewers across the globe entered into a tacit agreement: don’t spoil the ending for those who haven’t seen it. When a friend mentioned the twist to me two days before I saw the film, I thought he was kidding. Ten minutes into the film, I knew that he’d spoiled the movie.

Don’t be my traitorous friend. Thief River Falls is a stunning novel with a profound twist that demonstrates what Brian Freeman fans have known for years: he’s a writer who after twenty novels will still surprise you. Please keep the secret safe—spoilers are no laughing matter.

Black Hall, Connecticut, is known as a safe place. A small seaside town free of violent crime. So when gallery owner Beth Lathrop is brutally murdered, Beth’s family and friends are left reeling. None more so than Beth’s sister, Kate. With the help of Detective Conor Reid, Kate will dig deep into Beth’s final weeks and days, their attention rarely deviating from Beth’s cheating and opportunistic spouse.

Because it’s always the husband. As we’ve learned from countless crime shows—and actual CDC data—when a woman is murdered, her partner is the likely culprit. So what do we make of a husband with an airtight alibi? Is there such a thing?

That is the question that led me to read page after page after page late into the night. I was completely engrossed in Luanne Rice’s twisted and heartrending story of a horrific murder and its aftermath...and the brutal secrets buried in a tranquil seaside town.

After five years writing young adult fiction, beloved New York Times bestselling author Luanne Rice has returned to her roots in compelling family drama for adults! And it is her best—and most thrilling—ever. Luanne has brilliantly combined elements of domestic and psychological suspense with police procedural, resulting in a book I read in one sitting.

I use social media and technology every single day. Some days it makes me feel informed, comforted, connected; other times, exposed, vulnerable, misunderstood, or just inadequate. The constant is that I feel those feels in front of my screen, alone.

Kaitlin Ugolik Phillips is a journalist who sees empathy as a vital and endangered element of a peaceful, healthy, and productive society, but she is also, like me and many of you, an adapter of the mobile and digital life we all now lead to keep up and keep in touch. Sharing data and expert predictions about what technology—especially, but not only, social media—is doing to our ability to empathize, Phillips will hopefully convince you of our potential as a society to keep innovating without succumbing to personal isolation.

This book is for those who are socially and politically engaged. Those who are actively looking for ways to make or support societal change, either in small ways or more systematically. The Future of Feeling is for anyone who is interested in how our brains and psyches work, how they might work differently in the near future, and what that means for us as humans.

Kevin Wignall is the master of the intelligent international thriller. As soon as I open one of Kevin’s bestselling books, I know I am going to be immersed in a highly cinematic world with instantly relatable characters, a chase that will traverse the globe, and a pulse-pounding race to the finish that always leaves me breathless.

Former CIA officer James “Wes” Wesley believes he has already paid the ultimate price for his patriotism, locked up in a French jail. But when he learns that his ex-wife, Rachel, has been killed in a terrorist attack in Spain and the young son Wes hadn’t known existed is missing, Wes is released on compassionate grounds to uncover the truth. Journeying across Europe, he will reopen old wounds and uncover long-buried secrets that will push him to the limit.

I suspect that, like Wignall’s previous book To Die in Vienna, which is reportedly coming to the silver screen starring Jake Gyllenhaal, the characters from The Names of the Dead will also soon delight fans on the big screen.

This beautiful story of love and devotion opened my eyes to the lasting trauma that so many soldiers carry off the battlefields. We’ve made great strides in treatment. But during World War I we didn’t have a clear understanding of the phenomenon. Many blamed the soldiers themselves, accusing them of cowardice and malingering.

In 1918, Rudy’s brother Edgar goes missing in France. Unable to shake his grief, Rudy is determined to unravel exactly what happened to his brother. Suspicion surrounds his death, and Mariette, the woman who claims to be Edgar’s widow, complicates Rudy’s quest for the truth. He falls hopelessly in love with her, but he’s tortured by guilt and unanswered questions. If Edgar is still alive, where is he? If he’s not, how can Rudy and his family make sense of his death?

In a Field of Blue both cast a light on the lasting effects of war and filled me with hope, showing how far a man will go to fulfill his promise to honor and protect those he loves.

I often think the world would be a kinder place if we embraced the sentiments found on the pages of picture books. Just take Bernard, a bird with impossibly long wings. He can’t fly, try as he might, and his friends fly off. But does he feel sorry for himself? Well, yes, for a bit. But when he comes upon a sad orangutan, he stops thinking about himself and focuses on how he can help, which as it turns out is with a great big hug.

The next thing he knows, there’s a parade of lions, giraffes, bats, and even a very brave worm waiting for a chance to tell him their problems and get one of his famous hugs. In the end, Bernard discovers that the thing that makes him different not only brings him purpose and joy, but lifts up so many others too. One hug, this charming book reminds us, can make all the difference.
