They called it hysteria. She called it survival. Lulu Mayfield has spent the last five years molding herself into the perfect 1950s housewife. Despite the tragic memories that haunt her and the weight of exhausting expectations, she keeps her husband happy, her household running, and her gelatin salads the talk of the neighborhood. But after she gives birth to her second child, Lulu's carefully crafted life begins to unravel. When a new neighbor, Bitsy, moves in, Lulu suspects that something darker lurks behind the woman's constant smile. As her fixation on Bitsy deepens, Lulu is drawn into a web of unsettling truths that threaten to expose the cracks in her own life. The more she uncovers about Bitsy, the more she questions everything she thought she knew-and soon, others begin questioning her sanity. But is Lulu truly losing her mind? Or is she on the verge of discovering a reality too terrifying to accept? In the vein of The Bell Jar and The Hours, The Mad Wife weaves domestic drama with psychological suspense, so poignant and immersive, you won't want to put it down. ]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1705323</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1705323</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Church, Meagan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1705323026</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781464236754/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=AH</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook]]></title><description><![CDATA[Welcome to the Gun Show!

July, 1921 : England is suffering a heatwave and the coast of Northumberland, just across the border from Scotland, is filled with holiday-makers bird watching and enjoying the beaches. Pilgrims also come to visit the home of Saints Cuthbert and Aiden-the founders of Christianity in England-located on the "Holy Island" of Lindisfarne, accessible by a causeway at low tide. When the murdered body of a local man washes ashore just south of Lindisfarne, the government and the Church of England are concerned about protecting both the reputation of the Church and the sacred sites that are a destination for hundreds of pilgrims at this time of year. With his ability to move in the highest social and political circles, Rutledge is sent by Scotland Yard to solve this crime and dispel any association with the Church. Upon arrival, Rutledge finds himself pulled between two coastal fishing villages, scarred by home front battles and coastal bombardment from the German Navy, where animosity towards Germany still runs high even years after the war. This, combined with a constabulary in the process of being consolidated to form a countywide police force, with local militias still wielding a great deal of power, means Rutledge must tread with care. Facing a puzzling case and a cast of locals that don't take kindly to outsiders, the newly promoted Rutledge meets one of the most challenging cases of his career. To solve it, he'll also have to confront his own demons left over from his time in the war.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1706618</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1706618</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Todd, Charles]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1706618026</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781613167243/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=eBook-4262108-AH</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do Not Disturb]]></title><description><![CDATA["Quinn Alexander has committed an unthinkable crime.

No fat girl wants to see herself caricatured on the page--let alone on the big screen. But there's no getting away from it. Baby looks so much like Cherry that strangers recognize her at the grocery store. While her soon-to-be ex-husband is in Los Angeles getting rich and famous and being the internet's latest boyfriend, Cherry is stuck in Omaha taking care of the dog he always wanted and the house they were going to raise a family in... and wondering who she's supposed to be without him. Cherry had promised to love Tom through thick and thin. She'd meant it. One night, Cherry decides to leave all her problems, including Tom's overgrown puppy, at home. She ventures out to see her favorite band play her favorite album... and someone recognizes her from across the room. Russ Sutton knew Cherry when she was a young art student with a fondness for pin-up dresses and patent leather heels. Before Tom. Russ knows Cherry. He likes Cherry. And best of all... he's never heard of Thursday.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1710186</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1710186</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rowell, Rainbow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1710186026</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063380295/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=eBook-4279159-AH</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Motherland]]></title><description><![CDATA["Journalist Julia Ioffe tells the story of modern Russia through the history of its women, from revolution to utopia to autocracy. In 1990, seven-year-old Julia Ioffe and her family fled the Soviet Union. Nearly twenty years later, Ioffe returned to Moscow -- only to discover just how much Russian society had changed while she had been living in America. The Soviet women she had known growing up -- doctors, engineers, scientists -- seemed to have been replaced by women desperate to marry rich and become stay-at-home moms. How had Russia gone from portraying itself as the vanguard of world feminism to becoming a bastion of conservative Christian values? In Motherland, Ioffe turns modern Russian history on its head, telling it exclusively through the stories of its women. From her own physician great-grandmothers to Lenin's lover, a feminist revolutionary; from the hundreds of thousands of Soviet girls who fought in World War II to the millions of single mothers who rebuilt and repopulated a devastated country; from the members of Pussy Riot to Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of opposition leader Alexey Navalny, Ioffe chronicles one of the most audacious social experiments in history and documents how it failed the very women it was meant to liberate -- and how that failure paved the way for the revanche of Vladimir Putin. Part memoir, part journalistic exploration, part history, Motherland paints a portrait of modern Russia through the women who shaped it. With deep emotion, Ioffe reveals what it means to live through the cataclysms of revolution, war, idealism, and heartbreak -- and how the story of Russia today is inextricably tied to the sacrifices of its women"--Publisher.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1710184</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1710184</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ioffe, Julia]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1710184026</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Feminist History of Modern Russia, From Revolution to Autocracy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780062879134/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=eBook-4279159-AH</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Once and Again]]></title><description><![CDATA[Lauren has spent a lot of her life waiting. She spent her childhood on her surfboard, waiting to catch the perfect wave. She waited a long time for her husband Leo. Now she and Leo are together waiting for those two lines on a pregnancy test that will tell Lauren she's finally pregnant. But many women wait for those things. Lauren has also spent her life waiting to use the gift that only the women in her family have: the opportunity, just once, to turn back time and reverse a bad decision, or a moment of catastrophic luck. When Lauren was fifteen, her mother Marcella reversed the car crash that killed Lauren's father, and ever since then, both Marcella and Lauren have been extra cautious around Dave, and perhaps extra brittle with each other. Even though Dave is alive and healthy, and out on the Malibu waves every day. Lauren and Leo's marriage has been rock-steady for the three years they've been married, but their fertility journey is starting to wear on both of them. When Leo takes a six-week job in New York, Lauren temporarily moves back to her childhood house. She'll spend time with her dad, spend time on the water, and try not think about the relationship with her mother she wishes she had. What Lauren doesn't expect is to run into the love of her youth: fellow surfer Stone, back home for the first time in ten years. Since he left and broke Lauren's heart. Now Lauren's thinking about all the choices that have brought her to this moment in her life - and wondering if one of them should be undone.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1708925</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1708925</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Serle, Rebecca]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1708925026</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668025932/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=eBook-4270806-AH</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two Kinds of Stranger]]></title><description><![CDATA[One offers a helping hand.

Of their careers, of marriage, of motherhood, and of big-city lives in New York and Los Angeles. Together, they are finding their way through the wilderness, that period of life when the reality of contemporary adulthood--overwhelming, mysterious, and full of freedom and consequences--swoops in and stays. Desiree and Danielle, sisters whose shared history has done little to prevent their estrangement, nurse bitter family wounds in different ways. January's got a relationship with a "good" man she feels ambivalent about, even after her surprise pregnancy. Monique, a librarian and aspiring blogger, finds unexpected online fame after calling out the university where she works for its plans to whitewash fraught history. And Nakia is trying to get her restaurant off the ground, without relying on the largesse of her upper middle-class family who wonder aloud if she should be doing something better with her life. As these friends move from the late 2000's into the late 2020's, from young adults to grown women, they must figure out what they mean to one another--amid political upheaval, economic and environmental instability, and the increasing volatility of modern American life.]]></description><link>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1705214</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S26C1705214</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Flournoy, Angela]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://ottawa.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1705214026</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063318786/MC.GIF&amp;client=ottap&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=eBook-4253552-AH</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Operation Bounce House]]></title><description><![CDATA["All colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do is run the family ranch with his sister, maybe play a gig or two with his band, and keep his family's aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking as long as possible.
