Go as a River
$3.99

Go As a River by Shelley Read is a quiet, stirring novel that unfolds with the same patient beauty as its title suggests. Set against the rugged natural backdrop of Colorado, this story is at once heartbreaking and deeply hopeful, following a young woman’s journey through love, loss, and resilience.

At the heart of the novel is a strong, quietly determined protagonist who learns to navigate a world that often seems to take more than it gives. Her story is one of selfless strength — of caring for others while learning, in time, how to care for herself. The pacing is gentle, the prose lyrical, and each scene is saturated with a sense of place that will speak to nature lovers and fans of evocative storytelling.

Though comparisons to Where the Crawdads Sing or The Great Alone are easy to make, Go As a River ultimately stands on its own — a deeply emotional narrative that doesn’t rush, but lingers with the reader long after the final page. It’s a novel about survival in more ways than one, quietly powerful in its portrayal of human connection and the endurance of the natural world.

This is adult fiction with some moderate language (particularly early on), a tastefully handled intimate scene, and themes of prejudice, childbirth, and adoption. If you’re looking for a meaningful, reflective summer read, this is a story that invites you to slow down and listen — just like a river.

Heir of Storms (Storm Weaver, #1)
$3.99

Heir of Storms by Lauryn Hamilton Murray is a addictive YA romantasy that sweeps readers into a world of elemental magic, political intrigue, and personal transformation. At its heart is Blaze, a young woman born into a fire-wielding family but destined for a different path, one marked by powers she doesn’t yet understand and a future she never expected.

From the very first page, the story pulls you in with its compelling blend of adventure, mystery, suspense, and romance. Blaze begins as a protagonist who often finds herself overwhelmed by the forces around her, but her journey is one of growth and resilience. As the story unfolds, she learns to trust herself and the unique magic within her, stepping into her power with increasing confidence and fire, both literal and figurative.

The supporting cast is just as memorable. Flint and Hal, along with a loyal circle of allies, help shape Blaze’s identity as a fierce and determined heroine. Fox, in particular, stands out as a mysterious and captivating figure, whose role in Blaze’s life promises even more intrigue in future installments. The relationships between characters feel real and well-developed, adding depth to an already rich narrative.

What makes this book stand out is its fresh take on elemental magic and its trial-based political system, where competing courts vie for the crown through merit rather than bloodline. It brings tension, rivalries, and high stakes into every chapter, making it nearly impossible to put down.

The plot twist midway through the book is genuinely shocking, and the ending delivers a satisfying yet tantalizing cliffhanger that sets up the rest of the trilogy perfectly. While Blaze’s character arc follows a familiar path for fantasy heroines, Lauryn Hamilton Murray gives her a depth of emotion and edge that makes her story feel both grounded and exciting.

Heir of Storms is a must-read for fans of YA fantasy looking for a story with elemental powers, layered characters, slow-burn romance, and courtly schemes. It’s fast-paced, addictive, and leaves you eager for the next book in the series.

How to Lose Your Mother
$14.99

How to Lose Your Mother by Molly Jong-Fast is a memoir that resonates deeply with anyone who has ever stood at the complicated crossroads of caring for aging parents while still navigating their own life. At its core, this is a story about stepping into a role you’re not quite ready for—becoming the parent to your parents, while still trying to be a daughter, a partner, a mother, and a whole person.

With sharp wit and emotional clarity, Jong-Fast chronicles the stretch of time when her mother, the iconic feminist author Erica Jong, and her stepfather could no longer manage on their own. Suddenly, she is in charge of their finances, their belongings, their choices. It’s a logistical nightmare—but more than that, it’s an emotional reckoning. As she unpacks their lives, she’s also unpacking her own childhood, shaped by a mother whose fierce love was as overwhelming as it was unpredictable.

Erica Jong was magnetic, wildly creative, and often absent—larger than life and yet, at times, out of reach. This memoir doesn’t just explore the difficulty of elder care; it dives into the legacy of growing up with a parent who was both an icon and a mystery. All the while, Molly is juggling her own family: her husband is diagnosed with cancer, her kids still need her, and she’s constantly questioning how she became who she is.

What makes this book so compelling isn’t just the story itself—it’s Molly Jong-Fast’s voice. She’s warm, self-aware, bitingly funny, and unflinchingly honest. Reading her feels like holding the hand of a friend who knows exactly what it means to laugh through tears.

This is more than a memoir about caregiving or family dynamics—it’s a book for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by love, loss, or responsibility. It’s for anyone who has ever tried to make sense of a parent’s legacy while creating a life of their own. It’s tender, brilliant, and utterly unforgettable. You won’t want it to end.
