Or maybe it&’s because there&’s an attraction between them he can&’t seem to shake. Though refreshments and camaraderie may be the supper club&’s mantra, Serenity and Gabriel know there&’s more between them than just sharing delicious meals. But she can&’t let herself fall for Gabriel. Because while cooking with love is one thing, trusting it is quite another...Midnight without a Moon

Par Zoulfa Katouh. 2022
A love letter to Syria and its people, As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow is a speculative novel set…
amid the Syrian Revolution, burning with the fires of hope, love, and possibility. Perfect for fans of The Book Thief and Salt to the Sea. Salama Kassab was a pharmacy student when the cries for freedom broke out in Syria. She still had her parents and her older brother; she still had her home. She had a normal teenager&’s life. Now Salama volunteers at a hospital in Homs, helping the wounded who flood through the doors daily. Secretly, though, she is desperate to find a way out of her beloved country before her sister-in-law, Layla, gives birth. So desperate, that she has manifested a physical embodiment of her fear in the form of her imagined companion, Khawf, who haunts her every move in an effort to keep her safe. But even with Khawf pressing her to leave, Salama is torn between her loyalty to her country and her conviction to survive. Salama must contend with bullets and bombs, military assaults, and her shifting sense of morality before she might finally breathe free. And when she crosses paths with the boy she was supposed to meet one fateful day, she starts to doubt her resolve in leaving home at all. Soon, Salama must learn to see the events around her for what they truly are—not a war, but a revolution—and decide how she, too, will cry for Syria&’s freedom.Fuccboi: A Novel

But now Sean has begun to wonder, how sustainable is this mode? How much fuckery is too much fuckery?Written in a riotous, utterly original idiom, and slyly undercutting both the hypocrisy of our era and that of Sean himself, Fuccboi is an unvarnished, playful, and searching examination of what it means to be a man.&“Got under my skin in the way the best writing can.&” —Sheila Heti&“Sean Conroe isn't one of the writers there's a hundred of.
