Everyone gets a say
Par Jill Twiss. 2020
Pudding the snail and his friends can't seem to agree on anything. Whatever Jitterbug the chipmunk wants, Geezer the goose…

And if somehow Toast and Duffles and Jitterbug and Nudge all agree on something, then Geezer is not having it. So when Toast suggests they need a leader, the friends try to figure out the best way to pick someone to be in charge. Should that someone be the fastest? The fluffiest? The squishiest?

Par Kristina Forest. 2023
A shy bookworm enlists her charming neighbor to help her score a date, not knowing he’s the obscure author she’s…
been corresponding with, in this sparkling and heart-fluttering romance by Kristina Forest. Shy, bookish, and admittedly awkward, Lily Greene has always felt inadequate compared to the rest of her accomplished family, who strive for Black excellence. She dreams of becoming a children’s books editor, but she’s been frustratingly stuck in the nonfiction division for years without a promotion in sight. Lily finds escapism in her correspondences with her favorite fantasy author, and what begins as two lonely people connecting over email turns into a tentative friendship and possibly something else Lily won’t let herself entertain—until he ghosts her without a word. Months later, Lily is still crushed, but she’s determined to get a hold of her life, starting with finding a date to her sister’s wedding. And the perfect person to help her is Nick Brown, her charming, attractive new neighbor, who she feels drawn to for reasons she can’t explain. But little does she know, Nick is an author—her favorite fantasy author. Nick, who has his reasons for using a pen name and pushing people away, soon realizes that the beautiful, quiet girl from down the hall is the same Lily he fell in love with over email months ago. Unwilling to complicate things even more between them, he agrees to set her up with someone else, though this simple favor between two neighbors is anything but—not when he can't get her off his mindDanny and the boys: being some legends of Hungry Hollow (Great Lakes books)

Par Alberto Fuguet. 2016
"Wildly piercing and corrosively funny, Sudor (Sweat) is an editor's raw look at the absurd and oftentimes dysfunctional inner workings…
of the literary world. When his run-of-the-mill existence is suddenly turned upside down by the arrival of a famous author and his spoiled, defiant son, Alf, a junior editor at a large publishing house, embarks on a whirlwind three days that will change his life forever. Taking a page from Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities, Sweat is a piercing look at the mad circus that are author book tours-lavish parties, larger-than-life expectations, explosive egos and a whole industry that subsists on catering to the intellectual elite. The author of Bad Vibes, a novel that pulverized every boundary of the post-Pinochet era, plunges readers head first into the gay underworld where feelings are relegated to a second tier in favor of a series of ephemeral and extreme sexual encounters courtesy of Grindr, the popular app that Alf, the novel's protagonist, uses just as often as his authors use him. Meanwhile Santiago, the city where it all unfolds, emerges as a rare and alluring presence. A masterfully crafted and electrifying novel, Sudor confirms Fuguet as one of the most relevant voices in Latin America today." -- Provided by the publisherSwamp spirits: ghost of a chance?

Different ministries of the multiverse's administrative bureaucracy compete to recover the valuable extraterrestrial contraband abandoned in Santurce, capital of the Borikwa Republic....
