    Clementine, a young woman on the cusp of adulthood, is given a handwritten book by her mother, Beatrice Love. The book, titled The Orange History of Me, holds the unfiltered truth about their family's past-secrets that have shaped Clementine and her sister Cara's life in ways they never fully understood. As she reads, the narrative alternates between Beatrice's memories and Clem's memories and present-day struggles with identity, love, and forgiveness. Beatrice's story begins in Monroe, Jamaica, where she falls in love with a man she believes will be her escape from a childhood filled with instability. But her love story is not a fairytale-her husband, initially loving and attentive, slowly distances himself, drawn into an affair with the sharp-tongued and manipulative Miss Chin. The affair isn't just a betrayal-it catalyses a series of emotional and psychological battles that reshape Beatrice and her children's world. As Clem reads about her parents' marriage, her father's abandonment, and her mother's attempt at suicide, she is forced to confront her feelings of resentment and shame. Her mother's pain is laid bare in the pages, forcing Clem to see Beatrice not just as a mother but as a woman-flawed, broken, but ultimately fighting for her survival. Throughout the novel, Clem grapples with whether she can forgive her absent father, who now lives a different life, and Miss Chin, the woman who played a role in her mother's suffering. At the same time, she wrestles with her own emotions toward Chiang Jiang, Miss Chin's son, whom she once loved in childhood but now sees in a different light. In the end, The Orange History of Us is not just about the past-it is a story of rebirth. Beatrice and her children must decide whether to let their pain define them or use it as a foundation for something new.

    For as long as Belly can remember, summer belonged to her-her, her mom, Steven, Susannah, the beach, and the boys. But Aubree? Summer was something she watched through a car window. Something she fled from. After nearly drowning in first grade-pushed under by the very girls who once called her best friend-Aubree never looked at water the same again. She chose Dad, John Conklin, and safety. Her only visits to Cousins were brief-Fourth of July fireworks, fake smiles, then she disappeared before sunrise. Until this summer. This summer, Laurel is tired of the excuses. Susannah insists. And Aubree is forced to stay. She expects to be the outsider. The awkward twin. The ghost of a girl too scared to swim. What she doesn't expect? Jeremiah Fisher. He's warm. Too warm. Loud. Too loud. Golden in a way that makes her feel like she's made of shadows. And yet... he sees her. All of her. The girl who's still afraid. The one who never healed. The one who never let herself be wanted. While Belly and Conrad's story simmers with tension and old ache, Bree and Jeremiah's becomes something new. Something wild. Something terrifying. But Cousins Beach doesn't make room for quiet girls. And when the truth comes out-about what happened to Bree, why she never stayed, why she's finally breaking open-not everyone will handle it well. Some secrets sink. Some hearts shatter. But maybe, just maybe, she doesn't have to swim alone this time.

    [In Italian, Belladore (a combination of bella = beautiful and dolore = pain) could poetically capture the idea of finding beauty in pain.] In the emptiness of her everyday life, Ying luo finds herself drifting through each day, unable to shake the fatigue and dissatisfaction that seem to define her existence. To escape her void, she follows Yu xian, a celebrity-a figure who offers a temporary reprieve from her own struggles.

Raised in a wealthy yet toxic household, he was thrust into the limelight after an accident derailed his mother's dream of stardom. Forced to live out a legacy that isn't his own, he, too, is searching for a reason to keep going. As their paths unknowingly converge, both will confront the painful truth that finding purpose doesn't come from fame or admiration, but from understanding who they are beneath the surface.

After years of turbulence-both in the skies and in her soul-Rani Desai, a strong-willed yet scarred cabin crew member, is finally finding ground again in the warmth of her chosen family at Brew Haven.

And the closer they get, the harder it becomes for Rani to hide the cracks beneath her calm. Meanwhile, someone else is watching her. Someone who knows her routines, her fears, her every vulnerable breath. And he's not ready to let her be loved by anyone else. As emotions collide and secrets unravel, Mine Before She Knew Me explores the fragility of trust, the weight of unspoken pain, and the quiet power of being truly seen-even when you're trying to disappear.

    Aziraphale has spent the past 6000 years collecting rare species of flowers. Even though his shop is full of them, he can't bring himself to part ways with a single plant. Each so unique and full of life, he can't find it within himself to give any away. Though Crowley approves of the contents of his shop, he can't help but disagree with Aziraphale's coddling of the greenery. Everyone knows it takes a firm hand to raise the most beautiful garden. But something has been gripping Crowley's mind. Something that he's struggled with for some time, but has been able to repress. 6000 years is a long time, and his ability to hold on has begun to waver. He can't take it anymore, the angel needs to know. But he has one fear: Aziraphale mightn't accept how he feels. Happy reading :) ***I DO NOT OWN THE BASE ART FOR THE COVER - I edited it using Canva.
