Book Lovers<br />
by Emily Henry<br />
Released <strong>May</strong> 3rd<br />
An insightful, delightful new novel from<br />
the #1 New York Times bestselling author<br />
of Beach Read and People We Meet on<br />
Vacation.<br />
One summer. Two rivals. A plot twist<br />
they didn’t see coming...<br />
Nora Stephens’ life is books—she’s<br />
read them all—and she is not that type<br />
of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the<br />
laidback dream girl, and especially not<br />
the sweetheart. In fact, the only people<br />
Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for<br />
whom she lands enormous deals as a<br />
cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved<br />
little sister Libby.<br />
Which is why she agrees to go to<br />
Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the<br />
month of August when Libby begs her for<br />
a sisters’ trip away—with visions of a small<br />
town transformation for Nora, who she’s<br />
convinced needs to become the heroine<br />
in her own story. But instead of picnics<br />
in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome<br />
country doctor or bulging-forearmed<br />
bartender, Nora keeps bumping into<br />
Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor<br />
from back in the city. It would be a meetcute<br />
if not for the fact that they’ve met<br />
many times and it’s never been cute.<br />
If Nora knows she’s not an ideal heroine,<br />
Charlie knows he’s nobody’s hero, but as<br />
they are thrown together again and again—<br />
in a series of coincidences no editor worth<br />
their salt would allow—what they discover<br />
might just unravel the carefully crafted<br />
stories they’ve written about themselves.<br />

break down barriers and unite people together<br />
in Christ. Glad You’re Here helps us<br />

for the good of others, and drawing<br />
near in times of need can lead to powerful<br />
transformation. Through story and biblical<br />
reflections, Glad You’re Here helps readers<br />
see how God works in the everyday lives of<br />
those who love him.<br />
My Wife Is Missing<br />
by D.J. Palmer<br />
Released <strong>May</strong> 10th<br />
family vacation turns into a nightmare<br />
A for Michael Hart when he discovers his<br />
wife and two children have disappeared<br />
from their New York City hotel room. Horrified,<br />
he fears they’ve been kidnapped.<br />
Michael’s frantic search to find them takes<br />
a shocking turn when he discovers that<br />
his wife, Natalie, appears to have left quite<br />
willingly, taking their children with her.<br />
The police want to know why, and so does<br />
Michael. But there may be a reason why<br />
Natalie ran, something Michael can’t tell<br />
the police—the truth about his past.<br />
While untangling his deceptions might<br />
be the key to locating Natalie, Michael<br />
knows it could also be his undoing. To<br />
find his wife, he must now turn to the one<br />
person capable of exposing all that he’s<br />
been hiding. Natalie thinks she has Michael<br />
all figured out and has hatched a plan to<br />
escape from him permanently. One detail,<br />
though, threatens to derail her efforts:<br />
sleep—or more accurately, the lack of it.<br />
Since the moment the shocking revelations<br />
about her husband came to light, Natalie’s<br />
insomnia has worsened to the point that<br />
she now suffers from delusions.<br />
Are her fears about Michael valid—or<br />
a symptom of her condition? With her<br />
children’s lives at risk, the stakes for<br />
Natalie could not be higher. On her own,<br />
running low on energy and resources,<br />
avoiding increasingly close calls with<br />
Michael—who is on the hunt and closing<br />
in fast—Natalie needs someone to turn to<br />
for help. But who can she trust when she<br />
can’t even trust herself?<br />
