NEW RELEASES!

Some of these books have taken over national conversation and are definitely "not" about Natalie Portman. Life of M by Rachel Cusk is a short novel that consistently breaks the form of literary fiction, as though the book is self aware, while also following the story of a writer who seeks to document the biography of a famous woman.

Some of these books take you for a thrilling ride. In clare edge new YA novel, Natural Selection, where three girls encounter a grizzly bear that is picking off known evil in their mountain town. When it comes to boys and bears, always choose the bear 🐻

Never Whistle at Night has been a bestseller here at Wallace Books ever since it was published, so having a second volume of stories from editors Shane Hawk and Theodore C. Van Alst, Jr. ✶✶✶✶ is huge news!!

See what else we have this new books tuesday ➡️

From the author of the internationally bestselling The Book of Doors, The Society of Unknowable Objects is another fantastical, stand-alone novel in which a trio of seemingly everyday people are members of a secret society tasked with finding and protecting hidden magical objects: ordinary items with extraordinary properties.

Republished from its 2016 release, Freida McFadden's thriller Brain Damage follows a woman trying to piece together the mystery of her attacker after surviving a traumatic injury to her brain.

Now in paperback from Sarah Gailey - Spread Me

Kinsey has the perfect job as the team leader in a remote research outpost. She loves the isolation and the way that temptations from the civilian world are far out of reach in the desert.

When her crew discovers a mysterious specimen buried deep in the sand, Kinsey breaks quarantine and brings it into the hab. But the longer it's inside, the more her carefully controlled life begins to unravel. Temptation has found her after all, and it can't be ignored any longer.

The Song of Stork and Dromedary is a philosophical puzzle that unfolds with the exuberance of a historical romp, ingeniously pivoting from Gothic horror to quantum mechanics to memento mori.

Who was Eliza May Drayden? Is she just the quiet, intensely private person she seems to all the world in her little village of Bridge Fowling in the shadow of the West Yorkshire hills, or is there more to her than meets the eye? It is only after her death that Haeger Mass, her one book (a dark and cryptic novel) assumes a life of its own.

In each new chapter of this literary treasure hunt that spans almost three hundred years, we see the conundrum through the eyes of a new generation of characters, each providing competing and interlocking versions of the life, and cursed vision, of this Brontë–like figure.

Kimberly Lemming is constantly
