Title: Autumn Skies & Pumpkin Pies Series: #5 of Coleman Author: Katie Winters Narrator: Courtney Patterson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 46 minutes Release date: March 12, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: Meghan Coleman has been head-over-heels for her husband, Hugo, for twenty-seven years. But one afternoon a few weeks before Thanksgiving, she discovers a box of letters from his ex-fiancé, which illustrate a smoldering love, one he never mentioned. Not long after that, she learns her children already knew about the ex-fiancé and kept it a secret. Tormented, she finds her world crumbling around her. Who can she trust? In downtown Oak Bluffs, Daniel owns a failing bookstore, struggles to sign the divorce papers for his wife, and cares for his ailing mother, who suffers from dementia. Growing up, his mother was manipulative and cruel to him and his sister, resulting in both of them fleeing the island as soon as they could. The difference between himself and his sister is that he actually kept in contact with his mother and returned when she couldn't care for herself. Lisa, on the other hand, abandoned everyone—and they never heard from her again. Through a chance encounter, Meghan and Daniel find one another in the midst of their sorrows and support one another. It's been a long time since either of them had a friend they could count on. But more than that: they're more connected than they think. Very soon, they find their stories coming together in a climactic ending—one that will change Meghan and Daniel's families forever.

Title: Fruit of the Dead: A Novel Author: Rachel Lyon Narrator: Carlotta Brentan, Joy Osmanski Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 46 minutes Release date: March 5, 2024 Genres: Contemporary Women Publisher's Summary: * “Mesmerizing.” —Town & Country * “Twisty and unsettling.” —People * “Ancient Greece meets Succession by way of Emma Cline…deliciously dark.” —Ruth Gilligan * A “superb…refreshing” (The New York Times Book Review) reimagining of the myth of Persephone and Demeter set on a lush private island, exploring themes of addiction and sex, family, independence, and who holds the power in a modern underworld. Camp counselor Cory Ansel, eighteen and aimless, afraid to face her high-strung single mother’s disappointment, is no longer sure where home is when the father of one of her campers offers an alternative. The CEO of a pharmaceutical company, Rolo Picazo is wealthy, divorced, and magnetic. He is also intoxicated by Cory. When Rolo offers her a job, Cory quiets an internal warning and allows herself to be ferried to his private island. Plied with luxury and the opiates manufactured by his company, she tells herself she’s in charge. Her mother, Emer, head of a teetering agricultural NGO, senses otherwise. With her daughter seemingly vanished, Emer crosses land and sea to heed a cry for help that only she can hear. Alternating between the two women’s perspectives, Fruit of the Dead incorporates its mythic inspiration with a light touch and devastating precision. The result is a tale that explores love, control, obliteration, and America’s late-capitalist mythos. Lyon’s reinvention of Persephone and Demeter’s story makes for a haunting, electric novel that readers will not soon forget.
