Essentially, this is the best of the best of 50 years of Peanuts, the comic strip by the late Charles Schulz featuring Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, and the rest of the beguiling little gang. Peanuts debuted in 1950 and became a global phenomenon, with book collections selling more than 300 million copies in 26 languages and television specials rerun year after year. To create this all-new Peanuts Guide to Life, we've combed through decades of comic strips to find those single panels which contain such pithy observations as “Babysitters are like used cars. You never know what you're going to get,” and bits of wisdom like “Never lick ice cream off a hot sidewalk.” Each droll, stand-alone “speech bubble” or punchline appears with cartoon art. The panels are organized into short chapters, such as “Love” and “Life's Little Quirks.” For the millions of faithful Peanuts fans, this is a collection of “greatest hits” to cherish and enjoy again and again.

The stunning new thriller from a bestselling, multi-award-winning author explores the story of Titus Crown, the first Black sheriff in Charon County, Virginia. After decades of relative peace, the town faces turmoil when a school teacher is murdered by a former student, who is subsequently shot by Titus's deputies. As Titus investigates these shootings, he uncovers dark secrets and a serial killer lurking in Charon’s shadows, tied to a local church and the town's troubled past. While grappling with the case, Titus struggles to maintain his composure and hide a painful secret from his own history. Complicating matters, a far-right group plans a parade celebrating the town's Confederate heritage, adding to the tensions. Charon is both Titus's home and his heart, and as faith and violence collide, a reckoning looms. Praise for the author includes accolades from notable figures in the literary world, highlighting his powerful voice and ability to address significant themes through strong characters and gripping narratives.

"A gritty, voice-driven thriller about a former getaway driver who thought he had escaped the criminal life who is pulled back in by race, poverty, and his own former life of crime. Beauregard "Bug" Montage is a man with many different titles: husband, father, friend, honest car mechanic. But before he gave it up, Bug used to be known from the hills of North Carolina to the beaches of Florida as the best Wheel Man on the East Coast. After a series of financial calamities, Bug feels he has no choice but to take one final job as the getaway driver for a daring diamond heist that could solve all his money troubles and allow him to go straight once and for all. Like "Ocean's Eleven" meets "Drive" (but with a mostly black cast of characters), Blacktop Wasteland is a searing, operatic story of sons living up (or down) to their fathers; of a heist gone sideways; of a man ground down by economic desperation; of fast cars and daring chases and identity and love"-- Provided by publisher
