COLIN GETS PROMOTED AND DOOMS THE WORLD
by Mark Waddell
Colin is a low-level employee at Dark Enterprises, a Hell-like multinational corporation solving the world's most difficult problems in deeply questionable ways. After years of toiling away in a cubicle, he's ready to climb the corporate ladder and claim the power he’s never had.
The only problem is, he’s pretty sure he’s about to be terminated. Like, terminated. That’s tough, because his BFF has just set him up with a great guy. In fact, maybe he’s a little too great. And he asks a lot of questions…
When Colin meets a shadowy promising him his heart’s deepest desire in return for a small, unspecified favor, he can’t resist the urge to fast-track his goals. He asks for the one thing that will improve his life: a promotion.
But that small favor unleashes an ancient evil. People in New York are disappearing, the world might be ending, and Management is starting to notice. Getting to the top is never easy, and now it’s up to Colin to save the world. It’s the ultimate power move, after all.

Molly's Game
by Molly Bloom
When Molly Bloom was a little girl in a small Colorado town, she dreamed of a life without rules and limits, a life where she didn't have to measure up to anyone or anything - where she could become whatever she wanted.
She ultimately got more than she could have ever bargained for.
In Molly's Game, she takes you through her adventures running an exclusive high-stakes private poker game catering to such clients as Hollywood royalty like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck, athletes, billionaires, politicians, and financial titans. With rich detail, Molly describes a world of glamour, privilege, and secrecy in which she made millions, lived the high life, and fearlessly took on the Russian and Italian mobs - until she met the one adversary she could not outsmart: the United States government.
It's the story of how a determined woman gained - and then lost - her place at the table, and of everything she learned about poker, love, and life in the process.

The Da Vinci Code
by Dan Brown
While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.
Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion, a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move—the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.

Remarkably Bright Creatures
by Shelby Van Pelt
After Tova Sullivan's husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she's been doing since her eighteen-year-old son mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago.
Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a brilliant giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus wouldn't dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors - until he forms a friendship with Tova. Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova's son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it's too late.

The Infinite Sadness of Small Appliances
by Glenn Dixon
In a world controlled by technology, an unexpected hero discovers the power of human connection.
Harold and Edie Winters's home is just like any other. Harold's books line the shelves of his study; Edie's piano sits in the front room; and in the yard hangs their beloved birdhouse.
Unlike in most homes, though, the appliances have minds of their own.
In the near future, every home in the City is run by a group of sentient appliances - from the fridge in the kitchen to the car out in the garage - who watch over their Humans, ensuring that all their needs are met and their days run smoothly.
And no appliance is more committed to this duty than the newest member of the Winters household: a young vacuum cleaner named Scout with a penchant for To Kill a Mockingbird and a deep fascination with human emotion.
But when Edie becomes ill, Scout and her fellow appliances discover that they can't protect their Humans from everything. The Grid, an omnipresent force that monitors everyone in the City, seeks to evict Harold from the house, threatening to upend their lives.
With the help of a neighbourhood boy who grows close to Scout, as well as Harold and Edie's formerly estranged daughter, the Humans and appliances must outwith the all-controlling Grid to save the house in this captivating, heartwarming novel.
The Ending Writes Itself
by Evelyn Clarke
Arthur Fletch, one of the world's bestselling novelists, is a reclusive genius known for his iconic protagonists and fiendish twists. When six struggling authors are invited to spend a weekend on his private Scottish island, they arrive to discover a shocking secret: Arthur Fletch is dead... and his last book is unfinished.
Desperate to publish the novel, Fletch's agent and editor have summoned these writers in the hope that one of them will imagine a worthy ending for this final book. To sweeten the deal, they are offering an irresistible prize: In addition to the honor of ghostwriting the final chapters - for a mind-boggling sum - Fletch's team will also help the lucky writer successfully re-launch their own career, guaranteeing future bestsellers. The catch: The writers have just seventy-two hours to finish Fletch's magnum opus.
It's the perfect plot. All it needs is a killer ending.
