Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman
Operation Bounce House is a fast-paced standalone science fiction novel from the author of the “Dungeon Crawler Carl” series, New York Times bestselling author Matt Dinniman. Fellow New York Times bestselling author Pierce Brown calls it “Irreverent yet heartfelt, nostalgic yet wholly original.”

Oliver Lewis expects life on New Sonora to change when contact with Earth is restored, but not like this. When a corporate “eviction” turns his home into a live-fire game for profit, Oliver must decide how far he’ll go to protect his family, his land, and everything the colonists were promised.

Strange Animals by Jarod K. Anderson
From Jarod K. Anderson comes a standalone contemporary fantasy novel that author Sarah Beth Durst calls “Unique, haunting, riveting, and beautifully magical.” Strange Animals is a combination of creepy, cozy, and beautiful, while being about home, belonging, and the enchanted nature that surrounds us.

After a near-fatal accident resets his life, Green begins seeing strange creatures no one else can see. Drawn to a remote mountain camp, he finds a new purpose and fragile sense of belonging – just as a hidden danger threatens everything he’s come to love.

This Is Not About Us by Allegra Goodman
Allegra Goodman returns to the themes that first endeared her to readers. This Is Not About Us is a sweeping portrait of a family across generations. People named it one of the Most Anticipated Books of 2026, calling it “compelling” and “love‑laced.”

After their sister’s death, a small misunderstanding drives Sylvia and Helen Rubinstein into years of silence. As life moves on around them, the sisters must decide whether pride is worth losing the family bond they once shared.
