Summary:

In this gripping, genre-defying YA novel from New York Times bestselling author Z Brewer, three teensone who presents as genderqueer, one who presents as female, and one who presents as maleare caught up in three very different stories of survival. But those stories intersect as the teens start to realize that they might in fact be a single, singular they, alternating among worldsand that accepting themself might be the key to defeating the monsters that plague them in all three.

Three Quinns. Three Brumes. Three realities.

The first Brume is a waking nightmare, overrun by literal monsters and cutthroat survivors. For Quinn, who is openly genderqueer, the silver lining is their friendship with Liaand that there might still be hope for salvation.

The second Brume is a prison with no bars. Forced to sort out their sexuality with other teens at Camp Redemption, Quinn must also figure out why presenting as female has never felt quite right.

The third Brume is a war zone. For Quinn, who presents as male, leading the Resistance against an authoritarian government is difficult, since even the Resistance might not accept them if they knew Quinns truth.

As Quinn starts to realize that they might be one person alternating among these three worlds and identities, they wonder: Which world is the real one? Or do they all contain some deeper truth?

Title: Broken Signposts: How Christianity Makes Sense of the World

Author: N. T. Wright

Narrator: Ralph Lister

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5:57:15

Language: English

Release date: 10-06-20

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Biblical Studies

Summary:

In this thoughtful follow-up to Simply Christian, todays leading Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and acclaimed author uses the Gospel of John to reveal how Christianity presents a compelling and relevant explanation for our world.

N. T. Wright argues that every world view must explain seven signposts, indicators inherent to humanity: Justice, Spirituality, Relationships, Beauty, Freedom, Truth, and Power. 

If we do not live up to these ideals, our societies and individual lives become unbalanced, creating anger and frustrationnegative emotions that divide us from ourselves and from God, he contends. Using the Gospel of John as his source, Wright shows how Christianity defines each signpost and illuminates why we so often see them as being ''broken'' and unattainable. 

Drawing on the wisdom of the Gospels, Wright explains why these signposts are fractured and damaged and how Christianity provides the vision, guidance, and hope for making them whole once again, ultimately healing ourselves and our world.

Title: Santa Monica: A Novel

Author: Cassidy Lucas

Narrator: Alma Cuervo

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:33:30

Language: English

Release date: 10-06-20

Publisher: HarperAudio

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Suspense, Satire

Summary:

A debut novel in the vein of Liane Moriarty and Tom Perrotta, about dark secrets brought to life after the mysterious death of a handsome and charismatic trainer to the elite women in Santa Monica.

On the western edge of Los Angeles is the gorgeous beachside city of Santa Monica, where the sun-kissed, wealthy residents seem to inhabit real-life California dreams. When movie-star-handsome heartthrob fitness coach Zack Doheny, is found dead on the floor of his gym, the tragedy shocks the elite community, especially those whod spent many hours each week exercising with the charismatic trainer. 

As the narrative flashes back to the months leading up to Zacks death, it quickly becomes clear that things in this coastal paradise are not as glittering as they seem. Lettie Zacks secret half-sister and an undocumented housekeeper for the toned, entitled women of Santa Monica holds her brother responsible for a horrific family accident, and desperately needs his money to prevent her deportation. Regina, type-A exercise addict and entrepreneur, will do anything to get out of debt and to claim Zack for herself. And Mel a New York City transplant who finds herself forty pounds heavier and far more cynical than the lithe women of Santa Monica discovers an electric attraction to Zack that threatens to disrupt his bond with Regina and upend Mels own marriage. As these residents of Santa Monica begin to crack under the stress of their secrets, one question hangs above it all: what really happened to Zack Doheny? 

As addictively suspenseful as it is sharply observed, hilarious, and compassionate, Santa Monica is the rare novel that captures readers with propulsive storytelling alongside emotional urgency, irresistible characters, ambitious themes, and a vivid sense of place.
