One Last Stop  by Casey McQuiston   Released June 1 From the  New York Times  bestselling author of  Red, White & Royal Blue  comes a new romantic comedy that will stop readers in their tracks... For cynical twenty-three-year-old August, moving to New York City is supposed to prove her right: that things like magic and cinematic love stories don’t exist, and the only smart way to go through life is alone. She can’t imagine how waiting tables at a 24-hour pancake diner and moving in with too many weird roommates could possibly change that. And there’s certainly no chance of her subway commute being anything more than a daily trudge through boredom and electrical failur

  Middle Child has released " Burn Out " which is their debut single, on Casual Jam Records. The duo is made up of producer Jacob Lee and Songwriter/vocalist Mikey Wax , whose solo career has already achieved over 1M online fans and music placements in advertisements for major brands including Nike Swim, Hollister Clothing, United Airlines, and the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Burn Out, which is the first single off the upcoming EP steps inside a worried mind ("What if I should lose you?") and celebrates the balance that the singer’s friend or lover provides ("you keep me sane"). Produced in a minimalistic hip-hop/indie-pop vibe, the song reaches an anthemic "and we dance away" refrain to bring it all full circle like the ups and downs of everyday life. Listen to Burn Out below:

  GOODREADS SUMMARY WHEN PERFECT IMAGES As a photographer, Delta Dawn observes the seemingly perfect lives of New York City’s elite: snapping photos of their children’s birthday parties, transforming images of stiff hugs and tearstained faces into visions of pure joy, and creating moments these parents long for. ARE MADE OF BEAUTIFUL LIES But when Delta is hired for Natalie Straub’s eleventh birthday, she finds herself wishing she wasn’t behind the lens but a part of the scene―in the Straub family’s gorgeous home and elegant life. THE TRUTH WILL BE EXPOSED That’s when Delta puts her plan in place, by babysitting for Natalie; befriending her mother, Amelia; finding chances to listen to her father, Fritz. Soon she’s bathing in the master bathtub, drinking their expensive wine, and eyeing the beautifully finished garden apartment in their townhouse. It seems she can never get close enough until she discovers that photos aren’t all she can manipulate TEE'S REVIEW The Photographer, the

                 The Honey-Don’t List Carey Duncan has worked for home remodeling and design gurus Melissa and Rusty Tripp for nearly a decade. A country girl at heart, Carey started in their first store at sixteen, and—more than anyone would suspect—has helped them build an empire. With a new show and a book about to launch, the Tripps are on the verge of superstardom. There’s only one problem: America’s favorite couple can’t stand each other. James McCann, MIT graduate and engineering genius, was originally hired as a structural engineer, but the job isn’t all he thought it’d be. The last straw? Both he and Carey must go on book tour with the Tripps and keep the wheels from falling off the proverbial bus. Unfortunately, neither of them is in any position to quit. Carey needs health insurance, and James has been promised the role of a lifetime if he can just keep the couple on track for a few more weeks. While road-tripping with the Tripps up the West Coast, Carey and James vow to wor

  Ventura County California's Paloma has shared their new single " Lips "  a languid pop track with an infectiously tight groove.  Paloma's   Aurora  is the second EP from the band. It is a collection of songs both recorded and played live during the 3 years since the first EP Paloma   Luna  was released. Originally set to release in early 2020, the band decided to wait another year for what we will all remember as the  Pandemic Of 2020  to settle down and cases to minimize to release the record.

  GOODREADS SUMMARY England, 1580. A young Latin tutor--penniless, bullied by a violent father--falls in love with an extraordinary, eccentric young woman: a wild creature who walks her family's estate with a falcon on her shoulder and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer. Agnes understands plants and potions better than she does people, but once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose gifts as a writer are just beginning to awaken when his beloved young son succumbs to bubonic plague. A luminous portrait of a marriage, a shattering evocation of a family ravaged by grief and loss, and a hypnotic recreation of the story that inspired one of the greatest literary masterpieces of all time TEE'S THOUGHTS Hamnet, the new book by Maggie O’Farrell is named for the son Of William Shakespeare. The title gives you the impr

  OUT OF THIS WORLD COVER FOR VANESSA BARNEVELD'S UNDER THE MILKY WAY SUMMARY: Cassidy Roekiem is just an average teen girl from Colorado. Her parents are divorced, she has a cliché crush on the hot new boy, and her social life exists solely through the efforts of a well-meaning best friend. Until suddenly her life turns upside down. First, that “hot new boy,” Hayden, asks her out. And one night when they’re driving through the isolated, winding roads of Saddleback Ridge after dark, something happens that neither one of them can explain... Bright lights in the middle of the forest. Whole blocks of time they can’t remember. They’re nauseous and disoriented. We’re talking full-on episode of The X-Files. But when her fuzzy mind clears, she’s back home, and so is Hayden. Um, what? Hayden has always been sweet and caring and fun. But now it’s like he’s hiding something. He knows something, and she can’t be sure who he really is any more or how everything is connected to her. When it hap
