The frozen people
by Elly Griffiths
"A lavish, cleverly plotted mystery in which an unforgettable heroine finds herself trapped in the past, from international bestselling author Elly Griffiths. Meet Ali Dawson: a police officer working on crimes so old, the joke goes, that they are not only cold but frozen. The team's office is in a grimy part of the city, yet Ali's work seems like a safe desk job. But what her friends--and even her beloved son--don't know is that the cold case team has a secret: they can travel back in time to look for evidence. So far, Ali has only made short trips to the recent past, so she's surprised when she's asked to investigate a murder in 1850. She arrives in the Victorian era during a mini ice age to find another dead woman at her feet and far too many unanswered questions. But when her son is arrested, Ali attempts to return home only to find herself trapped in 1850."

Vera, or faith : a novel
by Gary Shteyngart
"The Bradford-Shmulkin family is falling apart. A very modern blend of Russian, Jewish, Korean, and New England WASP, they love one another deeply but the pressures of life in an unstable America are fraying their bonds. There's Daddy, a struggling, cash-thirsty editor whose Russian heritage gives him a surprising new currency in the upside-down world of twenty-first-century geopolitics; his wife, Anne Mom, a progressive, underfunded blue blood from Boston who's barely holding the household together; their son, Dylan, whose blond hair and Mayflower lineage provide him pride of place in the newly forming American political order; and, above all, the young Vera, half-Jewish, half-Korean, and wholly original. Observant, sensitive, and always writing down new vocabulary words, Vera wants only three things in life: to make a friend at school; Daddy and Anne Mom to stay together; and to meet her birth mother, Mom Mom, who will at last tell Vera the secret of who she really is and how to ensure love's survival in this great, mad, imploding world"

Something between us : the everyday walls of American life, and how to take them down
by Anand Pandian
"Whether the plight of refugees or the recent pandemic, the climate crisis or systemic racism, so much turns on the care and concern we can muster for lives and circumstances beyond our own. And yet, the deep divides of national life in the United Stateshave made effective action on such matters a serious and sometimes intractable challenge. Why is it so difficult to acknowledge and address the intertwining of our lives with others? Over the last eight years, anthropologist Anand Pandian has crisscrossed the United States talking with Americans of all kinds to make sense of the ruptures in our physical and psychological social fabric. While our impasses draw from deep American histories of segregation and suspicion, Pandian shows us how the work of mutual aid and communal caretaking can help us surface more radical visions for a life in common with others across the rigid lines we take so easily forgranted, and learn anew how to meet strangers in this land as potential kin"

The great museum of the sea : a human history of shipwrecks
by James P. Delgado
"What is a shipwreck? That question has driven James Delgado to explore, find, dive and study shipwrecks around the globe for the last five decades. A shipwreck is more than a word or a concept. As a word, a "shipwreck" is powerful, a word that evokes many images and human reactions. Writing from the perspectives of an archaeologist, seafaring historian, ocean explorer, journalist, museum director and television host, James Delgado has found a shipwreck, and shipwrecks, the focus of much of his career. In Shipwrecks, he shares what hundreds of wrecks that span thousands of years and the world's oceans, lakes and rivers, as well as skeletons that emerge from storm-tossed beaches or from now-buried harbors and waterfronts of the past have taught him, and why shipwrecks are a universal human story that has meaning and value beyond the concept of a battered, or sunken hulk in the depths"

Never flinch : a novel
by Stephen King
"From master storyteller Stephen King comes an extraordinary new novel with intertwining storylines-one about a killer on a diabolical revenge mission, and another about a vigilante targeting a feminist celebrity speaker-featuring the beloved Holly Gibney and a dynamic new cast of characters. When the Buckeye City Police Department receives a disturbing letter from a person threatening to "kill thirteen innocents and one guilty" in "an act of atonement for the needless death of an innocent man," Detective Izzy Jaynes has no idea what to think. As the investigation unfolds, Izzy realizes that the letter writer is deadly serious, and she turns to her friend Holly Gibney for help. Meanwhile, controversial and outspoken women's rights activist Kate McKay is embarking on a multi-state lecture tour, drawing packed venues of both fans and detractors. Someone who vehemently opposes Kate's message of female empowerment is targeting her and disrupting her events. Featuring a riveting cast of characters both old and new, including world-famous gospel singer Sista Bessie and an unforgettable villain addicted to murder, these twinned narratives converge in a chilling and spectacular conclusion-a feat of storytelling only Stephen King could pull off. Thrilling, wildly fun, and outrageously engrossing, Never Flinch is one of King's richest and most propulsive novels"

Now, rare fossil discoveries are revealing the secrets of bird evolution going back more than 100 million years, telling the story of how some resilient feathered dinosaurs persevered and transformed into the vast array of colorful bird species that fills our skies today"--
