The Only Purple House in Town
Par Ann Aguirre. 2023
From New York Times bestselling author Ann Aguirre comes the magical town of St. Claire, where anything is possible…Iris Collins…
is the messy one in her family. The "chaos bunny." Her sisters are all wildly successful, while she can't balance her budget for a single month. It's no wonder she's in debt to her roommates. When she unexpectedly inherits a house from her great aunt, her plan to turn it into a B&B fails—as most of her plans do. She winds up renting rooms like a Victorian spinster, collecting other lost souls...and not all of them are "human." Eli Reese grew up as the nerdy outcast in school, but he got rich designing apps. Now he's successful by any standards. But he's never had the same luck in finding a real community or people who understand him. Over the years, he's never forgotten his first crush, so when he spots her at a café, he takes it as a sign. Except then he gets sucked into the Iris-verse and somehow ends up renting one of her B&B rooms. As the days pass, Eli grows enchanted by the misfit boarders staying in the house…and even more so by Iris. Could Eli have finally found a person and a place to call "home"?Otra luna enterrada
Par Guillermo Estiballes. 2020
Otra luna enterrada constituye una atmósfera de fábula donde la naturaleza tiene voz propia y donde los antiguos hechizos cobran…
vida en la voz y la presteza de un joven descendiente de sefardíes. Buñol (Valencia), siglo XIX. Teodoro el judío, Julia la gitana y Alberto el andaluz se conocen desde niños y, por avatares del destino, sabiendo aprovechar un horrible suceso acaecido a la muchacha, ellos dos consiguen llevar su amor al término que siempre desearon. Así pues, los tres consiguen convivir bajo el mismo techo en una sociedad rural que, a priori, no admite una relación entre dos hombres. Pero el destino es un traicionero bastardo y pronto los problemas tocarán a la puerta en esta inusitada familia, pues en el pueblo vive Roberto Cotino, hijo pródigo de un poderoso empresario que, obsesionado con la muchacha y enemistado desde antaño con el judío, sacudirá los cimientos hasta desbaratar sus planes de felicidad y convivencia. Pero Julia tiene otros planes y una poderosa herramienta: Sabiero el autómata, la creación de su amigo Teodoro. Una novela pincelada con las luces y oscuridades de los primeros librepensadores españoles, en una tierra que se recupera después más de cincuenta años de guerra civil, mientras avanza a traspiés ante el cambio social y tecnológico de aquella no tan lejana época. Una novela ambientada en el costumbrismo sobrenatural de siglo XIX y en las raíces de la intrahistoria española. La crítica ha dicho...«Una novela costumbrista que se inmiscuye en una pequeña logia de Buñol (Valencia), para hablarnos de un siglo XIX íntimo y la relación entre personas, máquinas y naturaleza.»Fantasymundo «Buscaba algo diferente y lo he encontrado. ¿Sabes esos argumentos tan locos que no sabes si va a serun completo fracaso o un acierto absoluto? Pues en este caso al autor le ha resultado positivo.»Diario de una Chicka Lit «Una novela genial, increíble e imaginativa.»La historia en mis librosSorry, Bro

debut author Taleen Voskuni. When Nareh Bedrossian&’s non-Armenian boyfriend gets down on one knee and proposes to her in front of a room full of drunk San Francisco tech boys, she realizes it&’s time to find someone who shares her idea of romance. Enter her mother: armed with plenty of mom-guilt and a spreadsheet of Facebook-stalked Armenian men, she convinces Nar to attend Explore Armenia, a month-long series of events in the city. But it&’s not the mom-approved playboy doctor or the wealthy engineer who catch Nar&’s eye—it&’s Erebuni, a woman as immersed in the witchy arts as she is in preserving Armenian identity. Suddenly, with Erebuni as her wingwoman, the events feel like far less of a chore, and much more of an adventure. Who knew cooking up kuftes together could be so . . . sexy? Erebuni helps Nar see the beauty of their shared culture and makes her feel understood in a way she never has before. But there&’s one teeny problem: Nar&’s not exactly out as bisexual. The clock is ticking on her double life—the Explore Armenia closing banquet is coming up, and her entire extended family will be there, along with Erebuni. Her worlds will inevitably collide, but Nar is determined to be brave and to claim her happiness: proudly Armenian, proudly bisexual, and proudly herself for the first time in her life.A Little Bit of Grace (A cypress Key Novel Ser. #1)
