Tom Lake (Paperback)
Ann Patchett (author)
In the spring of 2020, Lara arrives with her three girls at the Northern Michigan orchard where the film takes place. Their mother once had an affair with the famous actor, Peter Duke, at the theatre company called Tom Lake and while picking cherries, kids request their mother to recount her experience.
As for Lara, she recalls her past and the relationships she was involved in while her daughters, in the process of relating to their mother and everything she stands for, reconsider their path and undo all they have thought to which their role model was Lara.
Speculative love as a young couple, married couple and before child bearing is the theme of the poem, Tom Lake, which is a descriptive poem. It presents an optimistic picture of the world when it discusses the meaning of happiness in a rebellious society but has melancholic undertones. Ann Patchett is a famous American writer with a focus on novels, and the subjects and characters of her books are recognizable for their plots and representations of family values. This wonderfully crafted story with great depth and raw anger, backed with great realism, firmly establishes her as one of the most highly praised and renowned literary masters in the market.

Yellowface: Exclusive Edition (Paperback)
R.F. Kuang
Athena Liu is a literary discovery; she is the epitome of a literary sensation. The first, June Hayward, is simply no one as a character but a concept, an idol, or a construct. However, when June is merely an observer of Athena dying in a most unfortunate, tragic manner, she comes to understand that now is the perfect opportunity to achieve that elusive fame. Well then if it means stealing her friend’s work let us live with it and take the consequences of our actions. Yes, so what, if in the process of doing so they have to establish a new identity, which is not strictly black? Indeed, is it not coming closer every day to a social media scandal that threatens to expose her? The pressures grow as her web of lies escalates jeopardizing the stolen success; to how far June will go to hold what she believes is rightfully hers? This one is quite a story, sir. But it is not her story to share and that has been well portrayed in the movie.

The Serpent and the Wings of Night – Crowns of Nyaxia (Paperback)
Carissa Broadbent
One chapter of epic fantasy romance packaged in the dark magic and murderous intrigue that will remind you of the Hunger Games, vampires and is a Crowns of Nyaxia series novel by Carissa Broadbent that has sold more copies in the New York times bestselling list. The laws of survival are the same whether you’re a human or a vampire: never trust, never surrender, and protecting your heart—this must be for ever.
In a world aiming to bring her forever, Oraya, the human daughter adopted by the Nightborn vampire king, charted her own course. She has to attend the Kejari, a fabled hunting game, organized by the goddess of death if she ever intends to crossover from simply being hunted prey. Thus while defeating one fighter of each house will not be impossible for Oraya, it will be a very difficult task to accomplish since the fighters from each house are among the most brutal fighters around. There is no way she can survive if she does not become close friends with a rather mysterious foe.
Risk is 100% or in other words it is embodied in every aspect of Raihn. He contests with her in a deadly rivalry; a man of high efficaciousness in slaughter; and an antithesis to her father’s monarchy. However, the worst thing as per the films Instituto’s perspective is that Oraya develops a kind of lust towards him.
However, signal Nerophogy for the Kejari remains constrained, and the Truest Feeling is death. Hearts of Nyaxia/ Crowns of Nyaxia is a series also created by Carissa Broadbent/TikTok user and is among the most popular series on the website, with the first book being The Serpent and the Wings of Night. The Star-Cursed King follows it and then The Ashes.
