From the NAACP Image Award–nominated author of Happily Ever Afters comes a dual POV rom-com about Reggie and Delilah, who fall in love through missed connections and chance meetings on holidays over the course of a year. Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han, with crossover appeal for readers of Jasmine Guillory and Talia Hibbert romances. Delilah always keeps her messy, gooey insides hidden behind a wall of shrugs and yeah, whatevers. She goes with the flow—which is how she ends up singing in her friends’ punk band as a favor, even though she’d prefer to hide at the merch table. Reggie is a D&D Dungeon Master and self-declared Blerd. He spends his free time leading quests and writing essays critiquing the game under a pseudonym, keeping it all under wraps from his disapproving family. These two, who have practically nothing in common, meet for the first time on New Year’s Eve. And then again on Valentine’s Day. And then again on St. Patrick’s Day. It’s almost like the universe is pushing them together for a reason. Delilah wishes she were more like Reggie—open about what she likes and who she is, even if it’s not cool. Except . . . it’s all a front. Reggie is just role-playing someone confident. The kind of guy who could be with a girl like Delilah. As their holiday meetings continue, the two begin to fall for each other. But what happens once they realize they’ve each fallen for a version of the other that doesn’t really exist?

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST NEW COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Epicurious EATER Stained Page Infatuation Spruce Eats Publisher's Weekly Food52 Toronto Star The dazzling debut cookbook from Joanne Lee Molinaro, the home cook and spellbinding storyteller behind the online sensation @thekoreanvegan Joanne Lee Molinaro has captivated millions of fans with her powerfully moving personal tales of love, family, and food. In her debut cookbook, she shares a collection of her favorite Korean dishes, some traditional and some reimagined, as well as poignant narrative snapshots that have shaped her family history. As Joanne reveals, she's often asked, "How can you be vegan and Korean?" Korean cooking is, after all, synonymous with fish sauce and barbecue. And although grilled meat is indeed prevalent in some Korean food, the ingredients that filled out bapsangs on Joanne's table growing up-doenjang (fermented soybean paste), gochujang (chili sauce), dashima (seaweed), and more-are fully plant-based, unbelievably flavorful, and totally Korean. Some of the recipes come straight from her childhood: Jjajangmyun, the rich Korean-Chinese black bean noodles she ate on birthdays, or the humble Gamja Guk, a potato-and-leek soup her father makes. Some pay homage: Chocolate Sweet Potato Cake is an ode to the two foods that saved her mother's life after she fled North Korea. The Korean Vegan Cookbook is a rich portrait of the immigrant experience with life lessons that are universal. It celebrates how deeply food and the ones we love shape our identity.

A writer's imagination breaks loose — and now some of her own furious, unfinished, and rewritten characters want her dead. Luckily for her, two of her most chaotic creations show up first. Baskum Rabbit — sharp-tongued, battle-scarred, criminally inclined, and hopelessly addicted to antique lace — materializes in her bathtub like he owns the place. A master art-and-jewel thief with a satchel full of pocket dimensions, he has a talent for getting into trouble everywhere he goes, including that one unforgettable run-in with the Amish Mafia. Meatloaf — a matter-of-fact, sentient main dish who can read her mind — appears in her kitchen, calmly sitting at the table eating Doritos and drinking Classic Coke. He delivers the warning without drama: She's in danger. Some of her characters are angry.Some feel betrayed.Some were left unfinished.Some don't like the way their stories ended.And some want revenge. But not all of her creations want her dead.Some love her.Some owe her their lives.Some want their stories continued.And some will fight beside Baskum and Meatloaf to protect the woman who imagined them into existence. As reality cracks open under the weight of too many stories escaping at once, Baskum and Meatloaf must rally the loyal characters, outwit the hostile ones, and keep their writer alive long enough to fix the mess — or at least survive it. A fast, funny, meta-fictional adventure about loyalty, chaos, and the trouble creativity causes when it refuses to stay on the page. Perfect for fans of : Terry Pratchett, Good Omens, absurdist fantasy, talking-animal chaos, and comedic supernatural novellas.

A humorous, swoony, and downright terrifying horror romance in which a cinephile gets caught in the middle of a murder spree at a speed-dating event and must use her encyclopedic knowledge of the rom-com and horror genres to make it as a real-life Final Girl. When Jamie Prescott and her best friend Laurie attend a speed-dating event, Jamie expects to meet a roster of mediocre men and indulge in some street food afterwards. She doesn’t expect one of her dates to have his throat slit at their table during a blackout. After the lights come back on and there are more bodies on the floor, it becomes clear that dating can be a very dangerous pastime.

As the night progresses and Jamie comes face-to-mask with the murderer, she begins to suspect they are committing the slayings to woo one of the daters and turn them into a real-life Final Girl. But Jamie has other plans, and as she fights for her life, she can’t help but find herself ensconced in a love triangle with two of the other survivors. Will she make it through the bloodshed to find her Happily Ever After? Or does this machete-wielding psychopath have another ending in mind? For fans of Love in the Time of Serial Killers and Butcher & Blackbird, How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates is one killer love story.

I tore through it' INDEPENDENT Independence seems to be drifting away from Misty. Just months ago, she was living with her fiancé and planning their life together. Now she's single, back in her childhood bedroom, on crutches from knee surgery, and relying on her mother to help her with the smallest of tasks. This isn't how thirty-two was meant to look. When Misty turns to dating apps, she's immediately intrigued by charismatic, handsome Christopher - so intrigued that she doesn't doesn't even notice the acronym 'ENM' on his profile.
