The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley

“I’m 3/4 of the way through this and it’s hitting all the right buttons for me—like a Time Traveler’s Wife/Severance/Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow mashup with increasing intrigue as the story goes along. Am I missing a conversation somewhere where we are all fanning over this book?”—Jacques, Copy Lead

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty

"I am a big, big Liane Moriarty fan and this might be her best work yet. Could not put it down or stop thinking about it, and it’s stuck with me since I finished it. It was so, so good; I highly recommend!"—Deandra, Content Sales Lead, North America

All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker

"I keep seeing this talked about as a thriller, but it’s more of a super slow-burn mystery that leans literary. It covers several decades, with an incredible cast of characters that I’m going to be thinking about for a while."—Chenise, Content Sales Specialist

Greta & Valdin by Rebecca K Reilly

"This was funny, quirky, and endearing. I fell in complete love with these siblings and their eccentric family, and with Reilly’s witty and cutting observations on the human experience."—Alanna, Communications Specialist

Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell, Faith Erin Hicks

"I don't know what kept me from reading Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell and Faith Erin Hicks when it first came out in 2019 (maybe not being able to read it in colour at the time on a lightweight reading-optimized device...) but I finally cracked it open last night and didn't go to sleep until it was over. It's a pretty straightahead [SPOILER ALERT] friends-to-lovers story that spends 99% of the time on the friends part as it winds towards the lovers ending. But I just loved the premise of these two teenagers showing up every year to work at The Pumpkin Patch™ where every manner of autumnal indulgence is served up cozily by overalled and flannel-shirted young staffers—and I loved how this story took place almost in real-time during the final hours of their last shift ever. This book made me look forward to spooky season and made me extremely curious about succotash and 'Frito pie'."—Nathan, Director, Content Marketing
