After she sets foot on the famed Grand Ole Opry stage, a far cry from the mountain that raised her, Elle gives the biggest performance of her life. Then, to the dismay of shocked fans, her producer, and the man who still loves her, she vanishes. Almost two decades later, eighteen-year-old Marijohn Shaw is spending her summer pumping gas, writing songs on her broken mandolin, and longing for a mother. Her father Abe has always sworn he was the last person to see Elle Harlow alive, but when a meteor strikes the woods of their sleepy Pennsylvania town and a piece of Elle's past emerges from the wreckage, the truth of her disappearance sets fire to everything Marijohn believes about herself, her music, and her ability to love with abandon. Wait for Me is an unapologetic, deeply emotive story set in Appalachia and Nashville that defies the trope of the missing woman and gives us a female duo who can find hope in each other and sing the ache in every good song"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1487724</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1487724</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Burns, Amy Jo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1487724057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781250399304/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strange Buildings]]></title><description><![CDATA[From the bestselling author of Strange Houses and Strange Pictures comes a mesmerizing novel of eleven strange buildings and one terrible secret.

Beverley, Elsie, and Margot are not your average housewives. They are all wives of convicted serial killers. In sun-drenched California during the summer of 1966, the three women form an unlikely friendship after the discoveries of their husbands' brutal crimes. With their exes-some of California's most infamous convicted serial killers-dead or behind bars, they are attempting to forge a new future for themselves. Headstrong Beverley compulsively tries to maintain control of everything around her, all the while raising two children. Bookish Elsie fights day in and day out for the chance to make a name for herself in the newsroom, working around the men who sneer at her journalistic career goals. Glamorous Margot refuses to take anything seriously and devotes all her energy toward maintaining appearances that everything is fine-anything to quell her shame that her husband deceived her. They know people look at them and think only one thing: how could they not have known, when their husbands were right under their noses, committing horrific crimes? How much guilt is theirs to carry? And yet, when a string of killings hits the news, the three women-underestimated, overlooked, shrewd-decide to get to work. After all, who better to catch a killer than those who have shared their lives and homes with one? At once a riveting portrayal of shattered trust and a story of gripping suspense, The Secret Lives of Murderers' Wives is a testament to the intricacies of women's lives and how the deep bonds of female friendship can empower, uplift, and lead us to endure"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1488672</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1488672</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Arnott, Elizabeth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1488672057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593952993/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whidbey]]></title><description><![CDATA["Birdie Chang didn’t know anything about Whidbey Island when she chose it, only that it was about as far away as she could get from her own life. She’s a woman on the run, desperate for an escape from the headlines back home and the look of concern in her girlfriend’s eyes—and from Calvin Boyer, the man who abused her as a child and who’s now resurfaced. On her way, she has an unnerving encounter with a stranger on the ferry who offers her a proposition, a sinister solution and plan for revenge.  But Birdie isn’t the only girl Calvin harmed back then. There’s also Linzie King, a former reality TV star who recently wrote all about it in her bestselling memoir. Though the two women have never met, their stories intertwine. Once Birdie arrives on Whidbey, she finally cracks the book’s spine, only to find too much she recognizes in its pages. Soon after, on the other side of the country, Calvin’s loving mother, Mary-Beth, receives a shocking phone call from the police: her only son has been murdered.  Calvin’s death sets into motion a series of events that sends each woman on a desperate search for answers. A complex whodunit told from alternating points of view, Whidbey is searingly perceptive and astonishingly original. Exploring the long reach of violence and our flawed systems of incarceration and rehabilitation, this is a tense and provocative debut that’s sure to incite crucial questions about the pursuit of justice and who has real power over a story: the one who lives it, or the one who tells it?" --publisher's website.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1488655</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1488655</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Madden, T Kira]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1488655057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063289680/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[River of Bones]]></title><description><![CDATA[A stunning collection of award-winning fantasy and science fiction short stories from the New York Times bestselling author of the Between Earth and Sky trilogy--including a new novella set in the world of Trail of Lightning . Rebecca Roanhorse's first publication, "Welcome to Your Authentic Indian Experience(tm)", was awarded both the Nebula and Hugo award for best short story, and on its strength, Roanhorse was awarded the Astounding Award for Best New Writer. Although Roanhorse began to publish novels including Trail of Lightning and Black Sun , she has continued to write piercing stories that examine the American experience through marginalized perspectives. "River of Bones" returns to the Sixth World series with a novella, this time from Kai's perspective, as he and Maggie travel back to where he grew up to save his ex from the people who almost beat him to death--his ex's family. Based on the Tewa fable of Deer Hunter and White Corn Maiden, "A Brief Lesson in Native American Astronomy"--winner of the 2019 Ignyte award--explores the tradition of celestial-based storytelling, set in a future where virtual reality is nearly indistinguishable from the real world and celebrities can project their images into space as literal stars. "Falling Bodies" follows a young student at a space station university caught between two disparate worlds--the one he currently inhabits and the one he has desperately tried to escape--as he searches for his place in the universe. First published in Jordan Peele's Out There Screaming , "Eye and Tooth" is a story of black horror about the hunters who hunt the monsters and the monstrous among us. Through a range of contemporary to outright fantasy and science fiction, these stories will immediately capture your attention from one of our premiere writers of speculative fiction whose work is always at the vanguard of American fiction.]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1488670</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1488670</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Roanhorse, Rebecca]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1488670057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>And Other Stories</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781982153816/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[To Cage A Wild Bird]]></title><description><![CDATA["A deadly prison.

When the corpse of an entitled young man is found entirely drained of blood in a carriage next to Highgate Cemetery, Veronica's interest is piqued. And then a second victim is found, his death made to look like a suicide, and Veronica and her intrepid beau, Stoker, know the hunt is on. The two men share one link: they were both members of a society so secretive that only a singular mention of it can be found anywhere. Thirsty for more clues, Veronica and Stoker hear that a young Roma boy may know more about their first victim, but the only way to the boy is through an old acquaintance of Stoker's, Lady Julia Brisbane. Lady Julia and her dashing husband, Nicholas, occasionally track down murderers and are only too happy to help. But as it becomes clear the secret society is a dangerous sect looking to entice immortality seekers, Veronica and Stoker find themselves ensnared by a decidedly more sinister couple. The professed leader of the society claims to be a creature of the night; his partner practices witchcraft and they both fancy themselves emissaries of the otherworldly. Just as Veronica and Stoker get closer to learning the true purpose of the society and unraveling this macabre mystery, another body turns up, and they quickly discover they've gone from being the hunters to the hunted. . .

In the contested borderlands between Mexico and the United States, a woman flees into the desert after a devastating raid on her dead husband's ranch. A lieutenant colonel in service to the fledgling Republica, sent in pursuit of cattle rustlers, discovers he's on the trail of a more dramatic abduction. Decades later, with political ambitions on the line, the American and Mexican militaries try to maneuver Geronimo, the most legendary of Apache warriors, into surrender. In our own day, a family travels through the region in search of a truer version of the past. Orchestrated with a stunningly imagined cast of characters, both historical and purely fictional, their storylines playing out in multiple eras, Now I Surrender is Álvaro Enrigue's most expansive and impassioned novel yet.

So she does what any soon-to-be-divorced Manhattanite would do: sign up for figure drawing class. Between Roz's determined attempts to improve her artistic skills and her adventures with her best friend Raffi, she can almost ignore Vin's impending move-out date and his footsteps in their previously unoccupied guest room.

So kind, in fact, that Vin offers to let Roz draw him. What is she supposed to say?

Although content with her career as a TV producer and her life with her partner in Greenwich Village, Quinne is about to have an opportunity to dream bigger. Former ballet dancer Olivia has lived as a paraplegic since a car accident twelve years ago. Refusing to be a burden, she has denied herself the love of her life. Despite her mother's disapproval, Veronica resigned herself to a secret relationship with an ambitious married senator. Happily married mother of three Isabelle has just found out that her husband is having an affair with his much younger intern. Each sister is about to receive a gift beyond her wildest dreams from their very private but loving mother, who considered all her girls her favorites." --]]></description><link>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1488676</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S57C1488676</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Steel, Danielle]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://princetonlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1488676057</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593973059/MC.GIF&amp;client=pricp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Bad, Bad Place]]></title><description><![CDATA["If it hadn't been for her wee stupid dog Sid Vicious, 12-year-old Janey Devine might never have stumbled upon the corpse of Samantha Watson.
