That was before the war came—before the fight for the Multiverse devastated Eula’s home, and with it her hopes for a magical education. But the destruction of the war also brought something new: the ability to travel to other planes. And when Eula receives an invitation to study magic at a distant school called Strixhaven, she leaps to take it. Eula’s journey brings her closer than she ever thought possible to her fellow students, including the mysterious Segante, a boy whose secrets Eula longs to share. But not everyone is thrilled by the arrival of the new class, and Eula and her new friends quickly become targets. To make it through their first semester, they’ll have to fight for their place in this new world—or else they’ll be dead before their final exams.]]></description><link>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5523838</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5523838</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[McGuire, Seanan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5523838147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Omens of Chaos</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593871430/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lake Effect]]></title><description><![CDATA["From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nest and Good Company comes a wry and tender portrait of two families forever changed by one love-struck decision that will reverberate for decades. It's 1977 and an air of restlessness has settled on the residents of Cambridge Road in Rochester, New York, a place long fueled by the booming fortunes of Kodak and Xerox and, for some, the mores of the Catholic church. When Nina Larkin is given a copy of The Joy of Sex by her newly divorced friend, she can no longer dismiss the nearly nonexistent intimacy of her marriage. Just as her oldest child, Clara, is falling in love for the first time, Nina finds herself longing for the forbidden: a midlife awakening. An intoxicating fling with a prominent neighbor brings Nina a freedom she never thought possible-but also risks the reputations of both families and unravels Clara's world, just as she stands on the threshold of adulthood. Years later, Clara, now a successful food stylist in New York City, has never been able to move past the long-ago scandal. Drawn back home by the pull of a family wedding and wrestling with her own demons, she makes a pivotal decision that turns her life upside down. Written with Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's signature humor and insight, Lake Effect is a wise and probing look at love and desire, mothers and daughters, loss and grief, and what we owe the people we love most"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5522487</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5522487</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sweeney, Cynthia D'Aprix]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5522487147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063474307/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to Be Okay When Nothing Is Okay]]></title><description><![CDATA["Warm, insightful, and witty, the first book of advice from New York Times-bestselling author Jenny Lawson-aka the Bloggess Jenny Lawson is full of contradictions.

On a cold night in the remote Irish village of Arknakelty, a girl goes missing. Sweet, loving Rachel Holohan was about to be engaged to the son of the local big shot. Instead, she's dead in the river. In a close-knit small town, a death like this isn't simple. It comes wrapped in generations-old grudges and power struggles, and it splits the townland in two. Retired Chicago detective Cal Hooper has friends here now, and he owes them loyalty, but his fiancée Lena wants nothing to do with Ardnakelty's tangles. As the feud becomes more vicious, their settled peace starts to crack apart. And when they uncover a scheme that casts a new light on Rachel's death and threatens the whole village, they find themselves in the firing line.

We want clarity, peace, and a sense of who we truly are, without feeling lost in the chaos. In The Anatomy of Awakening, Dr. Sue Morter, best-selling author of The Energy Codes, changes the narrative of how we understand human potential, perceive ourselves and others, and manifest the visions for our lives by learning the deeper language of the authentic self. Using this deeper language, we recover suppressed aspects of ourselves to heal completely and create the lives we are meant to live. Dr. Sue reveals a deeper inner design that underlies the human body and nervous system, helping us reconnect with a steadier, more authentic way of being. She introduces us to a Greater Love--moving beyond stress-driven reactions to feel steady, clear, and connected, even in the midst of life's challenges. How we see ourselves changes, with an unconditionality that we've likely never known. Our purpose becomes clearer. Peace and healing follow. Our creative nature emerges.]]></description><link>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5522731</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5522731</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Morter, Sue]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5522731147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The 5 Hidden Codes to Activate Self-healing, Unlock your Higher Consciousness, and Live your Divine Destiny</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781401998608/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's Awe!]]></title><description><![CDATA[Readers explore the feeling of awe through profound moments of wonder and inspiration.]]></description><link>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5502756</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5502756</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stiefel, Chana]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5502756147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781546150350/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wolf Worm]]></title><description><![CDATA[Sonia Wilson is a talented scientific illustratorbut she is only able to follow her dream because of her fathers reputation as a renowned scientist.

Then one phone call from the hometown she's spent years trying to forget throws it into chaos. Cordelia's great-aunt Penelope has passed away, naming Cordelia the sole heir to the Chickadee Motel. She has no memory of a great-aunt and no interest in hospitality, but the will stipulates that the motel can't be sold until its residents leave or pass away - so she reluctantly heads back down to Sarsaparilla Falls to figure out who's living in the Chickadee, and how to get them out. But upon her arrival, Cordelia discovers the Chickadee isn't a motel-it's a brothel, housing three women in their sixties known as the Chicks. For decades, Daisy, Arline, and Belinda Sue have entertained the men of Sarsaparilla Falls (with their wives' blessings)-including the upright Pastor Reed-Smythe, who thunders against the town's favorite sins when he's not indulging. Cordelia doesn't want to be a hotel manager or a madam, but she can't just sell the only home the Chicks have known-especially not after the pastor is found poisoned in Daisy's bed. With the Chicks-and the town-on the verge of a breakdown, Cordelia steps up to mop up the mess. For a small town, there are plenty of suspects: could it be the obsessed nurse with access to arsenic? Developers eager to gobble up the land? The righteously angry town librarian? Things are heating up in Sarsaparilla Falls, and with the Pastor's obnoxiously attractive son Archer-Cordelia's childhood nemesis-investigating the Chicks and getting close, straightlaced Cordelia may just have to get a little dirty to make a killer come clean"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5502810</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5502810</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lane, Lyla]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5502810147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063469327/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hormone Havoc]]></title><description><![CDATA[Doctor, author, and influencer (@DrAmyShah) Amy Shah, MD, shares a nutritional, science-based protocol to minimize hormonal havoc, hot flashes, and night sweats and take on perimenopause and menopause with improved mood, energy, and health.

We've added 37 states, there are currently 138 times as many Americans as there were in 1776, and we've hired 45 very different presidents. Plus we've got corn on the cob, Route 66, Friday night lights, flea markets, Wrigley Field, the Grand Canyon, greasy spoon diners, Slinkys, and Spam. Are you smiling yet? In this very special souvenir keepsake compendium, you'll find a pinch of nostalgia, a dash of travelogue, a dollop of snark, a burst of patriotism, more than a few surprises, and a challenge for all Americans to cherish this country and . . . maybe do better."-- Cover.]]></description><link>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5502802</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5502802</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Payleitner, Jay K.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5502802147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>250 Reasons Why America Is Still Worth Celebrating</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781510784277/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Monster and Puppet Show!]]></title><description><![CDATA["When Monster meets Puppet, they decide to put on a show.

It is a million acres, an ocean of arid land. On an ordinary day, on a lonely road, under the unending blue sky, patriarch Phil MacBride swerves to avoid a kangaroo. In seconds the lives of the entire MacBride family are shattered. And then, tragedy revisits when a twist of consequences claims the life of one sibling, and leads another to give up everything for the sake of an innocent child. Matt, the youngest MacBride, is plunged into a moral and emotional journey for which there is no map, no guide. The secrets at the heart of this gutting and beautiful story force him to choose between love and duty, sacrifice and happiness. [This book] is a tale about family and belonging, fate and time. It is about people trying to do their best, and each, for private reasons, seeking shelter from the storm of life. Can a fleeting moment unravel a whole life, mar it indelibly and irrevocably? Can compassion, resilience and forgiveness allow us to come to terms with our human imperfections? These are the questions Stedman asks in [this book], her profoundly moving, uplifting, and luminous new novel about what the heart can endure for the sake of love." -- Publisher's webstite.]]></description><link>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5477002</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5477002</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stedman, M.

Fierce and determined, Ethel clings to the respectability her deceased husband's title affords her, hoping it will secure her daughters' future through marriage. When a royal ball offers the chance to change everything, Ethel risks her pride in pursuit of an invitation for all three of her daughters--only to see her hopes fulfilled by the wrong one. As an engagement to the future king unfolds, Ethel discovers a sordid secret hidden in the depths of the royal family, forcing her to choose between the security she craves and the wellbeing of the stepdaughter who has rebuffed her at every turn. As if Bridgerton met Circe, and exhilarating to its core, Lady Tremaine reimagines the myth of the evil stepmother at the heart of the world's most famous fairy tale. It is a battle cry for a mother's love for her daughters, and a celebration of women everywhere who make their own fortunes"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5479149</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5479149</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Hochhauser, Rachel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5479149147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250396341/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crouton]]></title><description><![CDATA[Told from the perspective of the cat, Crouton, a shelter cat, is excited to adopt a little girl whom she promises to love and take care of.]]></description><link>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5478121</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5478121</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lombardi, Kristine A.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5478121147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>One Cat&apos;s Adoption Tale</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217029167/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[All About Allergies]]></title><description><![CDATA[From viral social media sensation Dr. Zachary Rubin, an in-depth look at both common and surprising allergies, spotlighting patient stories, the history and science behind allergies, common myths, treatment options, and more.

Carol is delighted to be leaving her tiny prison cell behind to take her place in a luxury retirement home. She's hoping her past as a serial killer won't come to light so she can make a few friends and find some murder-free hobbies. But it's not long before a fellow resident-who happens to be a former police commissioner-drops dead, and Carol's true identity is leaked-making catching up over daily activities of bingo and baking rather awkward. Just her luck, Carol soon realizes that the victim wasn't the only former law enforcement officer at Sheldon Oaks-it's filled to the brim with former cops, barristers, and government representatives, her newfound friends included. And everyone thinks Carol's guilt is a no-brainer, but she is ready to prove them dead wrong...without killing anyone, for once"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5501623</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S147C5501623</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Craig, Fergus]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://hesperia.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/5501623147</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217189052/MC.GIF&amp;client=lakep&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
