He doesn't explain much about where he came from or why he's there- but when he visits the local coffeehouse, where pencil portraits of the people of Golden hang on the walls, he begins purchasing them, one at a time, and giving each portrait to the person depicted. In exchange, he asks only for the person's story. And so portrait by portrait, person by person, secrets are revealed, regrets are shared, and ordinary lives are profoundly altered.

Her charming farmhouse is rustic, her husband a handsome cowboy, her six children each more delightful than the last. So what if there are nannies and producers behind the scenes, her kitchen hiding industrial-grade fridges and ovens, her husband the Republican equivalent of a Kennedy? What Natalie's followers - all 8 million of them - don't know won't hurt them. And The Angry Women? The privileged, Ivy League, coastal elite haters who call her an antifeminist iconoclast? They're sick with jealousy. Because Natalie isn't simply living the good life, she's living the ideal - and just so happens to be building an empire from it. Until one morning she wakes up in a life that isn't hers. Her home, her husband, her children - they're all familiar, but something's off. Her kitchen is warmed by a sputtering fire rather than electricity, her children are dirty and strange, and her soft-handed husband is suddenly a competent farmer. Just yesterday Natalie was curating photos of homemade jam for her Instagram, and now she's expected to haul firewood and handwash clothes until her fingers bleed. Has she become the unwitting star of a brutal reality show? Could it really be time travel? Is she being tested by God? By Satan? When Natalie suffers a brutal injury in the woods, she realizes two things: This is not her beautiful life, and she must escape by any means possible..."-- Provided by publisher. ]]></description><link>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2157317</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2157317</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Burke, Caro Claire]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2157317243</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593804216/MC.GIF&amp;client=poudrerivpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mad Mabel]]></title><description><![CDATA["There are two kinds of people no one ever expects to be murderers: little girls and old ladies.

The year is 1865, and in a country not long since ravaged and emptied by the Great Hunger, the task is not an easy one. Tomás, however, is determined that his maps will be a record of the disaster. The British soldiers in charge are due to arrive any day, expecting the work to be completed, but Tomás is unexpectedly sent off course by an unsettling encounter in a copse. His life, and the lives of those of his family, will never be the same again. Liam is terrified by the sudden change in his taciturn father. What was it that caused such cracks to open in Tomás, and how is Liam, aged only ten, going to finish the mapping and get them both home?

His administration has flouted court orders and he has claimed powers that Congress once checked. What remains is a President willing to take enormous risks that have upended global markets and toppled heads of state; an imperial President operating almost entirely on instinct alone. Based on hundreds of interviews and unprecedented reporting from deep within the administration's most closely guarded rooms, Regime Change takes the reader inside the Situation Room and into the secret Oval Office deliberations that have launched a new war in the Middle East and seen Trump seal the border, surge National Guard troops into cities, and send immigration agents into deadly clashes with protestors. Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan bring us behind the scenes of a presidency that has transformed the culture, turned the Justice Department into an agent of retribution against the President's enemies and the office itself into a brazen vehicle for profit. They reveal a second term propelled by a historical irony that Trump himself has come to understand: that the indictments, the convictions, the assassination attempts, and four years of exile made him not weaker but far more powerful, more vengeful, and more willing to gamble than any President in modern history. This is the story of how Trump has used that power, who has tried to stop him, and why nearly all of them have failed. It is also the story of something American journalists are more accustomed to chronicling in distant capitals than in their own: a President who has fundamentally altered the nature of the office he holds--and, with it, how the rest of the world understands American power.]]></description><link>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2167769</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2167769</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Haberman, Maggie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2167769243</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668067246/MC.GIF&amp;client=poudrerivpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Threshing Day]]></title><description><![CDATA[Welcome to Threshing Day, the brutal, high-stakes trial where would-be riders at Basgiath War College fight to earn the bond of a dragon or die trying.

He is also a bit lost, twelve years late with his PhD on Russian folktales and increasingly haunted by a sense that he's become a disappointment to his family. So when his wife, Kate, accepts a visiting professorship at a prestigious college in the faraway forests of Vermont, he decides that this will be the year to finally move forward with his life. But Miles is a man of many enthusiasms, one who possesses, in Kate's words, a great capacity "to fall in with anyone, anywhere." And no sooner does he arrive than he finds himself entangled with a cast of characters as colorful as those of any of his folktales, from a ghostly tree surgeon to a scythe-mad biochemist, from a Shakespearean temptress to a photographer of snowflakes obsessed with chronicling, on thousands of index cards, the world's delusions in an Inventory of Wrong Ideas. The new friends, the enchanted woods, the histories: sure, no PhD, but all good fun. Until Miles stumbles upon a bizarre - perhaps ridiculous - local legend, which, he soon suspects, might not be just a legend after all. ]]></description><link>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2165821</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2165821</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mason, Daniel]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2165821243</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217197453/MC.GIF&amp;client=poudrerivpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[My Friends]]></title><description><![CDATA[Most people don't even notice them - three tiny figures sitting at the end of a long pier in the corner of one of the most famous paintings in the world.

Twenty-five years earlier, in a distant seaside town, a group of teenagers find refuge from their bruising home lives by spending long summer days on an abandoned pier, telling silly jokes, sharing secrets, and committing small acts of rebellion.

Out of that summer emerges a transcendent work of art, a painting that will unexpectedly be placed into eighteen-year-old Louisa's care. She embarks on a surprise-filled cross-country journey to learn how the painting came to be and to decide what to do with it.

At 2:24 a.m., he jumped. In a quiet London neighborhood several miles away, Rachelle Brettler was worried. She hadn't heard from her son Zac, who told her he had gone to stay with a friend for the night, but wasn't answering his phone. Five days later, a police car pulled up in front of the house, and she knew she was about to hear the news every parent dreads: Her son was dead. In their unbearable grief, Rachelle and her husband Matthew tried to understand what had happened to Zac. He had his troubles, but in no way seemed suicidal. But his death was just the beginning of the shocks: The man who owned the apartment in Riverwalk, a wealthy businessman named Akbar Shamji, told them he knew Zac by a different identity: Zac Ismailov, the child of a wealthy Russian oligarch, whose widowed mother was living in Dubai and freezing him out of his inheritance. Then they learned that the apartment was occupied by a notorious gangster known as "Indian Dave" in London criminal circles. Indian Dave had been implicated in a gangland slaying and fled the country, but for opaque reasons came back to England and was never prosecuted. From the physical evidence and recovered text messages between Shamji and Sharma, it appeared something very different than a suicide had taken place in Riverwalk that night. But to the immense frustration of the Brettlers, Scotland Yard seemed to have no interest in investigating. In a bravura piece of reporting and writing, Patrick Radden Keefe delves into a story that peels back multiple layers of mystery, and exposes the seedy truths beneath the glamourous London of posh mansions and private night clubs, a world sustained and abetted by fundamental corruption. Zac Brettler was not the only person in the tale spinning lies. London Falling is a mesmerizing investigation of an inexplicable death, fueled by multiple turns and revelations, but at its heart it is a deeply empathetic portrait of a family trying to understand not just why their son died, but who he was"-- Provided by publisher. ]]></description><link>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2155555</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2155555</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Keefe, Patrick Radden]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2155555243</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Mysterious Death in A Gilded City and A Family&apos;s Search for Truth</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385548533/MC.GIF&amp;client=poudrerivpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strangers]]></title><description><![CDATA["It was a great love story, one for the ages. The speed of our beginning and the speed of our ending felt like matching bookends. They both came out of nowhere. He wanted it, he wanted me. And then he didn't. In March 2020, Belle Burden was safe and secure with her family at their house on Martha's Vineyard, navigating the early days of the pandemic together--building fires in the late afternoons, drinking whisky sours, making roast chicken. Then, with no warning or explanation, her husband of twenty years announced that he was leaving her. Overnight, her caring, steady partner became a man she hardly recognized. He exited his life with her like an actor shrugging off a costume. In Strangers, Burden revisits her marriage, searching for clues that her husband was not who she always thought he was. As she examines her relationship through a new lens, she reckons with her own family history and the lessons she intuited about how a woman is expected to behave in the face of betrayal. Through all of it, she is transformed. The discreet, compliant woman she once was--someone nicknamed 'Belle the Good'--gives way to someone braver, someone determined to use her voice. With unflinching honesty and profound grace, Burden charts a path through heartbreak to show the power of a woman who refuses to give up on love. Strangers is a stunning, deeply moving, compulsively readable memoir heralding the arrival of a thrilling new literary talent." -- Book jacket. ]]></description><link>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2156545</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2156545</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Burden, Belle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2156545243</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Memoir of Marriage</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593733318/MC.GIF&amp;client=poudrerivpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Shampoo Effect]]></title><description><![CDATA["When Caroline Lash arrives in Greenhead, Massachusetts, she falls head-over-heels for Van Whittaker, a fleece-wearing, litter-collecting, kayak enthusiast with long, floppy hair and the personality of a Border Collie.

Soon Caroline is cast out of the circle and what she does next-in a potent mix of fury and heartbreak-exposes long-held secrets and works the entire town of Greenhead into a lather."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2161660</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2161660</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jackson, Jenny]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2161660243</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798217059959/MC.GIF&amp;client=poudrerivpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Midnight Train]]></title><description><![CDATA["When your life flashes before your eyes, where would you stop?

Here, he becomes the all-purpose assistant to the Baronessa, known to her friends as Coco, a defiantly youthful and naturally flamboyant woman of ninety-two. Amid a chaotic and colorful milieu of gin-swilling princesses, incomprehensible handymen, roaming boarhunters, nuns, and other local wildlife, our young man does his best to catalog the villa’s extensive collection of art and antiques—although he notices that things seem to go missing from right under his nose. Despite himself, he tumbles into an affair with a married man, complicating his future plans considerably. And when the Baronessa loses someone close to her, he becomes an unwitting accomplice in the acceleration of Coco’s great and final plan: to locate the love of her life and be reunited before it’s too late. Told with the signature wit, charm, and humanity that made Less an international phenomenon, Villa Coco is a dazzling, sun-soaked ode to life itself, a meditation on how seriously we ought to take ourselves, and a bawdy Mediterranean ballad about becoming who we’ve always wanted to be.]]></description><link>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2161669</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2161669</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greer, Andrew Sean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2161669243</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385551977/MC.GIF&amp;client=poudrerivpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heart the Lover]]></title><description><![CDATA["Our narrator understands good love stories-their secrets and subtext, their highs and their free falls. But her greatest love story, the one she lived, never followed the simple rules. In the fall of her senior year of college, she meets two star students from her 17th-Century Lit class: Sam and Yash. Best friends living off campus in the elegant house of a professor on sabbatical, the boys invite her into their intoxicating world of academic fervor, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. They nickname her Jordan, and she quickly discovers the pleasures of friendship, love and her own intellectual ambition. Youthful passion is unpredictable though, and she soon finds herself at the center of a charged and intricate triangle. As graduation comes and goes, choices made will alter these three lives forever. Decades later, Jordan is living the life she dreamed of, and the vulnerable days of her youth seem comfortably behind her. But when a surprise visit and unexpected news brings the past crashing into the present, she returns to a world she left behind and is forced to confront the decisions and deceptions of her younger self...a deeply moving story that celebrates love, friendship, and the transformative nature of forgiveness."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2133649</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2133649</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[King, Lily]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2133649243</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780802165176/MC.GIF&amp;client=poudrerivpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Frozen River]]></title><description><![CDATA["Maine, 1789: When the Kennebec River freezes, entombing a man in the ice, Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death.

The Librarian takes a dazzled Alix under her wing, but before she can escape into the pages of her new life, a shadowy enemy emerges to threaten everyone the Astral Library has ever helped protect.

Yet the fact we have subjective experience of the world remains one of nature's greatest mysteries. How is it that our mental operations are accompanied by feelings, thoughts, and a sense of self? What would a scientific investigation of our inner life look like, considering we have as little distance and perspective on it as fish do of the sea? In A World Appears, Michael Pollan traces the unmapped continent that is consciousness, bringing radically different perspectives-scientific, philosophical, literary, spiritual and psychedelic-to see what each can teach us about this central fact of life. When neuroscientists began studying consciousness in the early 1990s, they sought to explain how and why three pounds of spongy grey matter could generate a subjective point of view-assuming that the brain is the source of our felt reality. Pollan takes us to the cutting edge of the field, where scientists are entertaining more radical (and less materialist) theories of consciousness. He introduces us to "plant neurobiologists" searching for the first flicker of consciousness in plants; scientists striving to engineer feelings into AI, and psychologists and novelists seeking to capture the felt experience of our slippery stream of consciousness. In Pollan's dazzling exploration of consciousness, he discovers a world far deeper and stranger than our everyday reality. Eye-opening and mind-expanding...showing us how we might make better use of the gift of awareness to more meaningfully connect with our deepest selves"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2152561</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S243C2152561</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pollan, Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://poudrelibraries.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2152561243</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Journey Into Consciousness</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781984881991/MC.GIF&amp;client=poudrerivpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
