took root-that desire to look, to move closer, to touch. Whenever
it started growing, it definitely bloomed the moment she and

“Full of yearning, ponderances about art and what it means to be
an artist, and self-revelation, A Scatter of Light has a
simmering intensity that makes it hard to put down."—NPR An
Instant New York Times Bestseller Last Night at the Telegraph Club
author Malinda Lo returns to the Bay Area with another masterful
queer coming-of-age story, this time set against the backdrop of
the first major Supreme Court decisions legalizing gay
marriage. Aria Tang West was looking forward to a summer on
Martha’s Vineyard with her best friends—one last round of sand
and sun before college. But after a graduation party goes wrong,
Aria’s parents exile her to California to stay with her
grandmother, artist Joan West. Aria expects boredom, but what she
finds is Steph Nichols, her grandmother’s gardener. Soon, Aria is
second-guessing who she is and what she wants to be, and a summer
that once seemed lost becomes unforgettable—for Aria, her family,
and the working-class queer community Steph introduces her to.
It’s the kind of summer that changes a life forever. And almost
sixty years after the end of Last Night at the Telegraph Club, A
Scatter of Light also offers a glimpse into Lily and Kath’s lives
since 1955.

What begins as their mutual nightmare just might just turn to
something more between the two of them. * "Fake Dating": Every

Hanukkah party, but Rachel always flies solo. Tired of everyone
asking when she's going to meet a nice Jewish boy (or girl), she
asks Matthew Klein to be her fake date. The only problem? He may
have accepted her invitation only because he has a crush on her
sister. * "Kissing Under the Influence": Two interns in the
Department for Unexplained Phenomena are assigned to investigate a
city that seems to have disappeared. Antics (including a mistaken
ensorcellment and an unexpected declaration of love) ensue.

Nature is out of balance in the human world. The sun hasn't shone
in years, and crops are failing. Worse yet, strange and hostile
creatures have begun to appear. The people's survival hangs in the
balance. To solve the crisis, the oracle stones are cast, and Kaede
and Taisin are picked to go on a dangerous and unheard-of journey
to Tanlili, the city of the Fairy Queen. Taisin is a sage,
thrumming with magic, and Kaede is of the earth, without a speck of
the otherworldly. And yet their two destinies are drawn together
during the mission. As members of their party succumb to unearthly
attacks and fairy tricks, the two come to rely on each other and
even begin to fall in love. But the Kingdom needs only one huntress
to save it, and what it takes could tear Kaede and Taisin apart
forever...
Reese and David are not normal teens-not since they were adapted
with alien DNA by the Imria, an extraterrestrial race that has been
secretly visiting Earth for decades. Now everyone is trying to get
to them: the government, the Imria, and a mysterious corporation
that would do anything for the upper hand against the aliens.
Beyond the web of conspiracies, Reese can't reconcile her love for
David with her feelings for her ex-girlfriend, Amber, an Imrian.
But Reese's choice between two worlds will play a critical role in
determining the future of humanity, the Imria's place in it, and
the inheritance she and David will bring to the universe.
In this gripping sequel to "Adaptation," Malinda Lo brings a
thoughtful exploration of adolescence, sexuality, and "the other"
to a science-fiction thriller that is impossible to put down.

In the world of ASH, fairies are an older race of people who walk
the line between life and death, reality and magic. As orphaned Ash
grows up, a servant in her stepmother's home, she begans to realise
that her beloved mother, Elinor, was very much in tune with these
underworld folk, and that she herself has the power to see them
too. Against the sheer misery of her stepmother's cruelty, greed
and ambition in preparing her two charmless daughters for
presentation at court, and hopefully royal or aristocratic
marriage, Ash befriends one of these fairies - a mysterious,
handsome man-who grants her wishes and restores hope to Ash's
existence, even though she knows there will be a price to pay. But
most important of all, she also meets Kaisa, a huntress employed by
the king, and it is Kaisa who truly awakens Ash's desires for both
love and self-respect... ASH is a fairy tale about possibility and
recognizing the opportunities for change. From the deepest grief
comes the chance for transformation.

Across North America, flocks of birds hurl themselves into
airplanes, causing at least a dozen to crash. Thousands of people
die. Fearing terrorism, the United States government grounds all
flights, and millions of travelers are stranded.
Among them are Reese and her debate team partner and longtime crush
David, who are in Arizona when the disaster occurs. On their drive
home to San Francisco, along a stretch of empty highway in the
middle of the Nevada night, a bird flies into their headlights. The
car flips over. When they wake up in a military hospital, the
doctor won't tell them what happened, where they are--or how
they've been miraculously healed.
Things become even stranger when Reese returns home. San Francisco
feels like a different place with police enforcing curfew, hazmat
teams collecting dead birds, and a strange presence that seems to
be following her. When Reese unexpectedly collides with the
beautiful Amber Gray, her search for the truth is forced in an
entirely new direction-and threatens to expose a vast global
conspiracy that the government has worked for decades to keep
secret.
"Adaptation" is a bold contemporary science-fiction thriller from
the acclaimed author of "Ash."
