The Ministry of Time: A Novel
Par Kaliane Bradley. 2024
&“This summer&’s hottest debut.&” —Cosmopolitan • &“Witty, sexy escapist fiction [that] packs a substantial punch...It&’s a smart, gripping work that&’s…
also a feast for the senses...Fresh and thrilling.&” —Los Angeles Times • &“Electric...I loved every second.&” —Emily Henry A time travel romance, a spy thriller, a workplace comedy, and an ingenious exploration of the nature of power and the potential for love to change it all: Welcome to The Ministry of Time, the exhilarating debut novel by Kaliane Bradley.In the near future, a civil servant is offered the salary of her dreams and is, shortly afterward, told what project she&’ll be working on. A recently established government ministry is gathering &“expats&” from across history to establish whether time travel is feasible—for the body, but also for the fabric of space-time. She is tasked with working as a &“bridge&”: living with, assisting, and monitoring the expat known as &“1847&” or Commander Graham Gore. As far as history is concerned, Commander Gore died on Sir John Franklin&’s doomed 1845 expedition to the Arctic, so he&’s a little disoriented to be living with an unmarried woman who regularly shows her calves, surrounded by outlandish concepts such as &“washing machines,&” &“Spotify,&” and &“the collapse of the British Empire.&” But with an appetite for discovery, a seven-a-day cigarette habit, and the support of a charming and chaotic cast of fellow expats, he soon adjusts. Over the next year, what the bridge initially thought would be, at best, a horrifically uncomfortable roommate dynamic, evolves into something much deeper. By the time the true shape of the Ministry&’s project comes to light, the bridge has fallen haphazardly, fervently in love, with consequences she never could have imagined. Forced to confront the choices that brought them together, the bridge must finally reckon with how—and whether she believes—what she does next can change the future. An exquisitely original and feverishly fun fusion of genres and ideas, The Ministry of Time asks: What does it mean to defy history, when history is living in your house? Kaliane Bradley&’s answer is a blazing, unforgettable testament to what we owe each other in a changing world.Game On! (Step into Reading)

with a never-before-published short story&“Fforde's books are more than an ingenious idea. They are written with buoyant zest and are tautly plotted . . . and are embellished with the rich details of a Dickens or Pratchett.&” —The IndependentWelcome to Chromatacia, where life is strictly regulated by one&’s limited color perception. Civilization has been rebuilt after an unspoken &“Something that Happened&” five hundred years before. Society is now color vision–segregated, everything dictated by an individual&’s visual ability, and governed by the shadowy National Color in far-off Emerald City. Twenty-year-old Eddie Russett, a Red, is about to go on trial for a murder he didn&’t commit, and he&’s pretty certain to be sent on a one-way trip to the Green Room for execution by soporific color exposure. Meanwhile, he&’s engaged in an illegal relationship with his co-defendant, a Green, the charismatic and unpredictable Jane Grey. Negotiating the narrow boundaries of the Rules within their society, they search for a loophole—some truth of their world that has been hidden from its hyper-policed citizens. New York Times bestselling author Jasper Fforde returns to his fan-favorite Shades of Grey series with this wildly anticipated, laugh-out-loud funny and darkly satirical adventure about two star-crossed lovers on a quest to survive—even if it means upending their entire society in the process.No Malto Left Behind!

Par Georgi Gospodinov. 2011
A radical reimagining of the minotaur myth, from an essential voice in world literature. Winner of the Jan Michalski Prize…
for Literature • Finalist for the PEN Literary Award for Translation and the Strega Europeo Published a decade before his International Booker Prize–winning Time Shelter, Georgi Gospodinov’s The Physics of Sorrow has become an underground cult classic. Finding strange solace in the myth of the Minotaur, a man named Georgi reconstructs the story of his life like a labyrinth, meandering through the past to find the melancholy child at the center of it all. With profound wit and empathy, he catalogues curious instances of abandonment, spanning from antiquity to the Anthropocene; recounts scenes of a turbulent boyhood in 1970s Bulgaria, spent mostly in a basement; and charts a bizarre run-in with an eccentric flaneur named Gaustine. Exquisitely translated by Angela Rodel, and exhibiting his signature audacious style, this expansive work affirms Gospodinov as “one of Europe’s most fascinating and irreplaceable novelists” (Dave Eggers).Ready.

Once, I knew this girl who sent a video of herself to her brother's best friend...while she was hopped up…
on pain meds. And he didn't reciprocate her feelings. Sounds like a hilarious story, right? WRONG. This really happened...to ME, Melanie Taylor. That was five years ago, so I'm over it—over him. At least, I thought I was...until West got traded to the D.C. Eagles and moved to the same city as me! Oh yeah, did I forget to mention my brother's best friend is Weston Kershaw? An incredibly talented and famous professional hockey player? Of course, I set out to avoid him completely but end up going to one of his games—against my will, I might add. When I have to face him again all of those stupid butterflies in my stomach return full force. Except this time, the attraction doesn't feel so one-sided. This is a closed-door, dual POV romcom with mild language and innuendo. Trigger warnings: childhood trauma/anxietyMinute mage: A litrpg adventure (Minute Mage #1)

once per day. Fail a challenge? Say something dumb? He can get a redo as long as he acts fast. And every time he levels up, he can go back a little further. But, even with his growing power, Arlan has never been in more danger. He was left stranded in the middle of a monster-infested forest, nobody to rely on but himself as he fights to build strength. And his time magic wasn't given to him freely. He stole it. And its original owners would go to any lengths to take it back. Don't miss the start of a new LitRPG adventure filled with time magic, threedimensional characters, a crunchy LitRPG system, tactical combat, and power progression where level-ups are hard-earned and bring with them meaningful change in characters' abilitiesOff to the races: A small town enemies to lovers romance (Gold Rush Ranch #1)

She's mouthy. And she's so damn tempting. I can't stop thinking about all the ways I could take her down a peg. I can't stop thinking about her, period. We clash from the moment we meet. And in a small town, on an even smaller farm, it's hard to keep your distance. It's even harder to keep that friction from turning to fire. But keeping my distance? That might be the biggest struggle of all. Because Billie is the whole package, whip-smart with a body I fantasize about when I'm alone, and quite possibly the only woman who can save this business-and me. She drives me crazy. In every sense of the word. Every smart-mouthed little comment-every game we play-I end up wanting more. Wanting her closer. With me. Under me. I try not to let her get to me, but the more time we spend together the more I crave her. Her lips. Her trust. Her heart. I want it all. But at what cost? Because suddenly I don't just want to win races, I want to win the girl. Contains mature themesWrecked (Dirty Air #3)
