The Book Swap by Tessa Bickers

The Midnight Club by Margot Harrison
Release date: September 24, 2024
If you're having a tinge of nostalgia for that back-to-school feeling, then this story set on a Gothic college campus is the perfect setting to help you relive those memories. Twenty-five years after the death of their friend Jennet, a group of estranged college friends from The Midnight Club are drawn back to their Vermont college town by a mysterious invitation. Reunited for a weeklong campus reunion, they soon discover that their host has an ulterior motive: she wants them to uncover the truth about Jennet’s death and provides them with a secret substance that allows them to relive their past. As they dive deeper into their memories, they realize that each of them has something to hide, and that their recollections of their college years and that fateful night are far from accurate. The Midnight Club is a twisty, nostalgic exploration of the desire to revisit our past and confront the gap between who we are and who we hoped to be.
The Mighty Red by Louise Erdrich
Release date: October 1, 2024
From Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award–winning author Louise Erdrich comes a story about love, natural forces, spiritual yearnings, and the tragic impact of uncontrollable circumstances on ordinary people’s lives. In Argus, North Dakota, a collection of people revolve around a fraught wedding. Gary Geist, a terrified young man set to inherit two farms, is desperate to marry Kismet Poe, an impulsive, lapsed Goth who can't read her future but seems to resolve his. Hugo, a gentle red-haired, home-schooled giant, is also in love with Kismet. He’s determined to steal her and is eager to be a home wrecker. Kismet's mother, Crystal, hauls sugar beets for Gary's family, and on her nightly runs, tunes into the darkness of late-night radio, sees visions of guardian angels, and worries for the future, her daughter’s and her own. The Mighty Red is a novel of tender humor, disturbance, and hallucinatory mourning. It is about ordinary people who dream, grow up, fall in love, struggle, endure tragedy and carry bitter secrets. Men and women both complicated and contradictory, flawed and decent, lonely and hopeful. It is about a starkly beautiful prairie community whose members must cope with devastating consequences as powerful forces upend them.
