NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ A professor of literature finds herself caught up in a work of fiction . . . literally, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Year Slip and The Dead Romantics. Eileen Merriweather loves to get lost in a good happily-ever-after. The fictional kind, anyway. Because at least imaginary men don't leave you at the altar. She feels safe in a book. At home. Which might be why she's so set on going her annual book club retreat this year--she needs good friends, cheap wine, and grand romantic gestures--no matter what. But when her car unexpectedly breaks down on the way, she finds herself stranded in a quaint town that feels like it's right out of a novel . . . Because it is. This place can't be real, and yet... she's here, in Eloraton, the town of her favorite romance series, where the candy store's honey taffy is always sweet, the local bar's burgers are always a little burnt, and rain always comes in the afternoon. It feels like home. It's perfect--and perfectly frozen, trapped in the late author's last unfinished story. Elsy is sure that's why she must be here: to help bring the town to its storybook ending. Except there is a character in Eloraton that she can't place--a grumpy bookstore owner with mint-green eyes, an irritatingly sexy mouth and impeccable taste in novels. And he does not want her finishing this book. Which is a problem because Elsy is beginning to think the town's happily-ever-after might just be intertwined with her own.

Kærlighed er ikke et spørgsmål om tid – men om timing. Clementine West er mildest talt ikke begejstret, da hun finder en fremmed i sit køkken. Beskeden, han har fra hendes afdøde moster, både formilder og forvirrer hende, men én ting er sikkert: Der er ikke plads til en mand i hendes liv – eller lejlighed. Heller ikke selvom han har en charmerende sydstatsdialekt, et sødt smil og en svaghed for citrontærter. Og så er der en lille detalje: Han lever i fortiden. Syv år tilbage, for at være helt præcis. Det burde jo være umuligt, men Clementines moster har altid sagt, at lejligheden er magisk. En tidslomme, hvor øjeblikke flyder sammen ligesom akvarelfarver. Og før Clementine ved af det, er hun i fuld gang med at bryde den ufravigelige regel, hun har arvet fra sin moster: Bliv aldrig forelsket. Tiden mellem os er en hjertevarm og underfundig roman om, hvordan kærlighed kan trumfe både tid og rum. Sagt om Tiden mellem os: „En bevægende, magisk og moderne romance ... en følelsesmæssig fryd.“ Publishers Weekly „En smuk kærlighedshistorie fra en af vor tids mest fremragende romanceforfattere.“ Carley Fortune „Varm, sjov og hjerteskærende håbefuld. Tiden mellem os er et knusende portræt af sorg og en kærlig ode til, hvad det vil sige at udvikle sig og blomstre.“ Sangu Mandanna „Ashley Poston har endnu en gang skabt en skæv verden, der er romantisk og uimodståelig.“ Emma Straub „Tiden mellem os er romantisk og lidt filosofisk, men også stærkt underholdende og fyldt med varme New Yorker-vibes.“ Lektørudtalelse
Florence Day är spökskrivare åt en av USA:s mest älskade romanceförfattare. Men nu tror hon inte längre på kärleken, och hennes manus är i lika dåligt skick som hennes krossade hjärta. I hopp om att få sin deadline framflyttad söker hon upp sin nya redaktör. När han vägrar förbereder sig Florence på att karriären är över. Så får hon det värsta samtalet hon kan tänka sig och tvingas återvända till barndomsstaden för att begrava sin älskade pappa. Florence har inte varit hemma på tio år, inte sedan stadens invånare vände henne ryggen. Hennes pappa är borta, men allt annat känns som vanligt. Och hon hatar det. Ända tills ett spöke dyker upp på tröskeln till familjens begravningsbyrå. Han är lika upprörande snygg som alltid och lika förvirrad som Florence över varför han är där. Det visar sig att det inte bara är kärleken som är död utan även hennes nya redaktör... Kärleken är död är Ashley Postons första roman på svenska, en förtrollande historia om att sörja någon du håller kär och att aldrig ge upp hoppet om en ny kärlek.
New York Times bestselling author Ashley Poston shows Kate Bishop's Hawkeye still figuring out how to be a Super Hero--and a functioning human being--in this thrilling YA mystery adventure. When Kate Bishop, the young Hawkeye, solves a minor crime and saves the surprisingly cute Milo in the process, she counts it as a rare win. But a mix-up of their bags means that nope, Kate's life is still refusing to run smoothly. In that bag is a mysterious book that holds powerful, dangerous secrets--ones that New York City's most powerful super villain, the Kingpin, would kill to uncover. Kate finds herself on the run, searching for Milo and what he knows, texting her Super Hero besties for moral support, and trying to solve the mystery she's blundered into before she becomes the victim of her own story. Just like its main character, Kate Bishop, New York Times bestselling author Ashley Poston's Super Hero adventure doesn't miss a single shot in one of the funniest, twistiest Marvel stories ever told.
Florence Day er ghostwriter for en verdensberømt romance-forfatter, og hun har et problem: Efter et grimt breakup tror hun ikke længere på kærligheden. Så da hendes nye, distraherende smukke redaktør, Benji Andor, nægter at udskyde næste deadline, er hendes karriere så godt som død. Kort efter må Florence vende hjem for at begrave sin far. I ti år har hun undgået den hjemby, hvor hun aldrig passede ind, og selvom hun har savnet sin kærlige, excentriske familie og deres bedemandsforretning, nægter hun at blive hængende … Indtil et spøgelse dukker op på dørtrinnet. Benji levede i bedste velgående, da hun så ham sidst – han er lige så forvirret, som hun er: For hvad er der sket? Og hvad laver han overhovedet her? De døde romantikere er en sjov og rørende roman, der får dig til at genoverveje alt, du tror, du ved om kærlighed. Sagt om De døde romantikere: “Den funklende dialog vækker karaktererne til live – selv de døde.” Publishers Weekly “Bogen er en kur mod triste tanker, der samtidig er ærlig omkring livet og tiden, som ustoppeligt går … Den vil få dig til at grine under en begravelsesscene og græde, når festen begynder.” The New York Times “De døde romantikere tager fat i så mange ting, jeg elsker – en excentrisk heltinde, selvvalgte familier, hyggelige små byer, fanfiktion, SPØGELSER (!!!) – og giver dem et friskt, sjovt og helt igennem moderne twist.” Rachel Hawkins alias Erin Sterling “En forfriskende romantisk komedie om kærlighed, tab og håb … Læsere vil ikke kunne lægge bogen fra sig.” Publishers Weekly ”Vi kunne alle sammen bruge en god sommer-spøgelseshistorie, og den får man ikke bedre end De døde romantikere.” Entertainment Weekly “Jeg ELSKER De døde romantikere. Historien er som et smukt udskåret puslespil: til sidst, når alle brikkerne er faldet perfekt på plads, dannes et rørende, sjovt, overraskende, håbefuldt og drømmende billede.” Ali Hazelwood “Så sjov … Alle, der som jeg læser Emily Henry eller Casey McQuiston, kommer til at fortære De døde romantikere.” Emily Straub "De døde romantikere var en ubetinget og uventet fornøjelse. Den har sin egen stemme, er excentrisk og skæg; siderne nærmest funkler (men med sort glitter).” Christina Lauren "Romantik, kaos og forviklinger er centrale elementer i Postons forfriskende sjove og sprudlende romantiske komedier, og De døde romantikere er ingen undtagelse. Skønheden og charmen i Postons storytelling fortsætter med at skabe mirakuløse lykkelige slutninger ud af det rod, som helt almindelige mennesker ofte befinder sig midt i.” Shelf Awareness

In this Buffy the Vampire Slayer prequel, fan-favorite and LGBTQIA+ icon Tara Maclay gets the main character treatment . . . whether she wants it or not. Tara Maclay isn't thrilled to be in a new town for her senior year of high school. She misses her mom, her garden, her magic--and the way her dad treated her before her mom passed. But if Tara can just keep her head down, then maybe she can make it through this year in Hellborne, Vermont without the town living up to its name. Of course, her plan falls apart immediately, as dead students start turning up around her, and she's suddenly voted Most Likely To Have Murdered Them by the rest of the senior class. Oh, and the fellow new girl Tara's crushing on? Turns out to be a witch-hunter. . . . So maybe it's not the worst thing that Tara's magic is majorly malfunctioning. As the body count rises, Tara has to get past her fears, reconnect with her magic, and cast herself in a more central role to save the town--even if it means putting her new relationship at risk. The Bewitching Houris a full of '90s nostalgia, mysterious murders, and a star-crossed sapphic romance, blended perfectly together by New York Times andUSA Todaybest-selling author Ashley Poston.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ An overworked book publicist with a perfectly planned future hits a snag when she falls in love with her temporary roommate . . . only to discover he lives seven years in the past, in this witty and wise novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dead Romantics. A New York Public Library Best Book of 2023 "A gorgeous love story from one of the finest romance writers out there."--Carley Fortune, New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After Sometimes, the worst day of your life happens, and you have to figure out how to live after it. So Clementine forms a plan to keep her heart safe: work hard, find someone decent to love, and try to remember to chase the moon. The last one is silly and obviously metaphorical, but her aunt always told her that you needed at least one big dream to keep going. And for the last year, that plan has gone off without a hitch. Mostly. The love part is hard because she doesn't want to get too close to anyone--she isn't sure her heart can take it. And then she finds a strange man standing in the kitchen of her late aunt's apartment. A man with kind eyes and a Southern drawl and a taste for lemon pies. The kind of man that, before it all, she would've fallen head-over-heels for. And she might again. Except, he exists in the past. Seven years ago, to be exact. And she, quite literally, lives seven years in his future. Her aunt always said the apartment was a pinch in time, a place where moments blended together like watercolors. And Clementine knows that if she lets her heart fall, she'll be doomed. After all, love is never a matter of time--but a matter of timing.

Ashley Poston, acclaimed author of Heart of Iron, returns with a dark, lush fairy tale-inspired fantasy for fans of Sara Raasch and Susan Dennard. Cerys is safe in the Kingdom of Aloriya. Here there are no droughts, disease, or famine, and peace is everlasting. It has been this way for hundreds of years, since the first king made a bargain with the Lady who ruled the forest that borders the kingdom. But as Aloriya prospered, the woods grew dark, cursed, and forbidden. Cerys knows this all too well: When she was young, she barely escaped as the woods killed her friends and her mother. Now Cerys carries a small bit of the curse--the magic--in her blood, a reminder of the day she lost everything. As a new queen is crowned, however, things long hidden in the woods descend on the kingdom itself. Cerys is forced on the run, her only companions a small and irritating fox from the royal garden and the magic in her veins. It's up to her to find the legendary Lady of the Wilds and beg for a way to save her home. But the road is darker and more dangerous than she knows, and as secrets from the past are uncovered amid the teeth and roots of the forest, it's going to take everything she has just to survive.

The Prince and the Pauper gets a Geekerella-style makeover in this witty and heartfelt novel for those who believe in the magic of fandom—now in paperback, with an excerpt from Bookish and the Beast. Imogen Lovelace is an ordinary fangirl on an impossible mission: to save her favorite Starfield character, Princess Amara, from being killed off. On the other hand, the actress who plays Amara wouldn’t mind being axed. Jessica Stone doesn’t even like being part of the Starfield franchise—and she’s desperate to leave the intense scrutiny of fandom behind. Though Imogen and Jess have nothing in common, they do look strangely similar to one another—and a case of mistaken identity at ExcelsiCon sets off a chain of events that will change both of their lives. When the script for the Starfield sequel leaks, with all signs pointing to Jess, she and Imogen must trade places to find the person responsible. The deal: Imogen will play Jess at her signings and panels, and Jess will help Imogen’s best friend run their booth. But as these “princesses” race to find the script leaker—in each other’s shoes—they’re up against more than they bargained for. From the darker side of fandom to unexpected crushes, Imogen and Jess must find a way to rescue themselves from their own expectations...and redefine what it means to live happily ever after.
*A 2019 Rainbow Book List Selection*An action-packed tale full of romance, royalty, and adventure, inspired by the story of Anastasia. Perfect for fans of Six of Crows, Cinder, and the cult classic television show Firefly. Seventeen-year-old Ana is a scoundrel by nurture and an outlaw by nature. Found as a child drifting through space with a sentient android called D09, Ana was saved by a fearsome space captain and the grizzled crew she now calls family. But D09--one of the last remaining illegal Metals--has been glitching, and Ana will stop at nothing to find a way to fix him. Ana's desperate effort to save D09 leads her on a quest to steal the coordinates to a lost ship that could offer all the answers. But at the last moment, a spoiled Ironblood boy beats Ana to her prize. He has his own reasons for taking the coordinates, and he doesn't care what he'll sacrifice to keep them. When everything goes wrong, she and the Ironblood end up as fugitives on the run. Now their entire kingdom is after them--and the coordinates--and not everyone wants them captured alive. What they find in a lost corner of the universe will change all their lives--and unearth dangerous secrets. But when a darkness from Ana's past returns, she must face an impossible choice: does she protect a kingdom that wants her dead or save the Metal boy she loves?
Movie star Jessica Stone can t go up onstage at another con and pretend to love Starfield anymore except that she s contractually obligated. She never dreamed she d be playing Princess Amara for life, but people love Princess Amara, and for better or worse, Princess Amara has Jessica Stone s face. But. it turns out, so does someone else. Imogen Weatherby is just another Starfield fan hitting up ExcelsiCon except that she happens to look an awful lot like Jessica Stone (and no, you re not the first one to point it out). When Jess spots Imogen, she has a brilliant idea: swap places. Jessica can live her life out of the spotlight while Imogen pretends to be her on the rest of the con circuit, and Imogen can ditch her crappy barista job and finally get to see something beyond her hometown. But Jess doesn t anticipate actually liking Imogen s life or Imogen s gorgeous best friend, Hana, who might just be the person Jess needs to forget about her ex. And Imogen loves being Jess Stone and might even love this super talented artist, Tamaki, who she keeps bumping into. Except Tamaki thinks she s Jessica Stone. When an obsessive fan finds out the truth and threatens to expose Jess for the fake geek girl she is, it will take both Jess and Imogen to stand up for the truth: That there is no such thing as a fake geek girl. That if you are a fan, then you are accepted. And that even if you aren t a fan, you are worthy. That you are not invisible. That what you love matters. From the acclaimed author of Geekerella, this geeky spin on The Prince and the Pauper is a perfect story for geek girls of every fandom.
