The Dinner Party
by Viola van de Sandt (adult fiction)

The Bookshop Below
by Georgia Summers (fantasy)
For Cassandra Fairfax, Chiron’s Bookshop is a reminder of everything she lost when Chiron kicked her out and all but shuttered the shop. Since then, she’s used her skills less ethically, trading stolen books and magical readings to wealthy playboys and collectors. Then Chiron dies under mysterious circumstances. And if Cassandra knows anything, it’s this: the bookshop must always have an owner. But she’s not the only one interested.
Slow Gods
by Claire North (sci-fi)
Mawukana na-Vdnaze should perhaps lie about their story—pretend they weren’t used by strangers and gods and did not leave people behind. One truth remains: out there in deep space, in the pilot’s chair, they died. And then they were reborn as something not quite human, something that could speak to the infinite dark. This is the story of the supernova event that burned planets and felled civilizations. It’s also the story of the many lives Mawukana has lived since dying. Are you listening?
