The definitive whole-body guide to living 100 healthy years, built on the paradigm shift now transforming medicine.
For nearly five hundred years, medicine has been working from the wrong map—treating the body as a collection of separate parts rather than a single, connected system. That model saved lives in trauma, surgery, and emergency care, but it has failed almost completely at the chronic diseases now driving the vast majority of human suffering: heart disease, diabetes, cancer, dementia, autoimmunity, and depression.
100 is the answer.
Drawing on more than three decades of clinical practice, Dr. Mark Hyman shows how finally we can see the body the way modern science has come to understand it: as a single integrated system in continuous conversation with itself. And at last, the instruments to measure that system—comprehensive biomarker testing, continuous wearable monitoring, AI-enhanced imaging and interpretation, multi-cancer-detection blood tests—have moved out of research hospitals and into the hands of ordinary people.
100 is an operating manual for that new reality. It teaches readers to know the difference between normal and optimal. To become the CEO of their own health. And to stop waiting for disease when they could be creating health.
The tools exist now. This book puts them in your hands.
From #1 New York Times bestselling co-authors James Patterson and Mike Lupica, an investigative journalist goes searching for her next blockbuster case—then wishes she hadn’t found … The Traveler.
My name is Gracie Bronte. I’m an investigative journalist in New York City.
My nickname is “Bulldog.” When someone is murdered, I won’t rest until I hunt their killer down.
I’m a consummate New Yorker. I know every street. Every building. Every hidden gem. Every dark corner. I know all the cops and they know me.
Now I’m hunting a vicious killer, the Traveler, who thinks he’s smarter than I am. Maybe. Maybe not. But has the Traveler ever fought against a bulldog?
A gripping family drama wrapped in a missing-persons case, set during the historic Buffalo blizzard of ‘77.
“At once intimate and epic, affecting and very funny, and compulsively readable from start to finish.” —Claire Lombardo, New York Times bestselling author of Same As It Ever Was
It’s 1977 and in the town of Oneira, New York, a blizzard is gathering force …
Harmon Pond, editor-in-chief of the local newspaper, is struggling to keep afloat amid mounting debt and vanishing ad revenue. So when the creditor who’s been secretly funding him vanishes without a trace, Harmon thinks it’s his lucky break. Meanwhile, his eldest daughter, Teresa—the paper’s ambitious intern—sees a story that could make her name.
But for Harmon’s devout Italian American wife, Pauline, the disappearance stirs up memories of a childhood she has tried hard to put behind her, and secrets she would prefer to keep buried.
With the parents tangled in their own concerns and Teresa relentlessly searching for answers, no one notices that middle-child Fran has developed a habit of sneaking out at night, and Lonnie, the youngest, is taking dangerous risks of his own.
As the manhunt intensifies, and the snowstorm builds into one of the worst in history, the Pond family must find a way to accept the truth, and each other, before they lose themselves forever.

Renowned archaeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson return in this thrilling installment of the #1 New York Times bestselling Preston & Child series.
Nora Kelly is called to a construction site in the foothills of Santa Fe, New Mexico, where workers have uncovered a row of ancient skeletons—buried upside down. All work comes to a grinding halt at the site of an exclusive resort, backed by one of Hollywood’s hottest actresses—incurring her anger and retaliation.
Nora discovers the bizarre burials were the work of the Spanish Inquisition, who in 1676 condemned six women as witches, executed them, and buried them head downwards to speed their way to hell. And then she makes a further shocking discovery: a fresh burial in the same place, also inverted … and only two months old. Special Agent Corrie Swanson is called in to investigate. As more new murders and bizarre burials start mounting up, Nora and Corrie find themselves in pursuit of a mass killer—who possesses a terrifying, ancient power defying human understanding.
She’s spent her life taking care of everyone else. He’s determined to be the one to take care of her.
Elizabeth is sick of always having to be the reliable one—for her dad, for her disabled sister, for her best friend. Just once, she’d love to be able to lean on someone else, to do something for herself instead of worrying about everyone else.
Mike Maddox has a lot of amends to make. His past has cost him his best friend, and now his job could be on the line. His coworker Elizabeth can’t stand him, and he doesn’t even blame her. But Mike has always had a thing for Elizabeth. And if he can convince her he’s changed, maybe there’s hope. Showing up for her is easy. Doing things for her sister, remembering the special occasions everyone around her forgets. Gaining Elizabeth’s trust heals something in him he didn’t think could be fixed.
Bit by bit, day by day, Elizabeth begins to realize that maybe there’s more to Mike than she thought possible. Falling for him is the easy part, but trusting herself when everyone else says she’s wrong might be the hardest thing she’s ever done.
In this extraordinary book from a former senator and New York Times bestselling author, Ben Sasse offers deep reflections on faith, family and what it means to “redeem the time.”
In December 2025, the 54-year-old otherwise healthy former university president, senator and professor made a shocking announcement. “This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I’ll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die.”
Doctors told him he probably had three months to live. But Sasse refused to retreat. He faced his “death sentence” with courage, clarity and a good dose of gallows humor, launching a podcast called Not Dead Yet. While undergoing aggressive treatments to shrink his tumors, he unexpectedly went viral as he spoke in depth and wrote movingly in columns and interviews about how we must all redeem the time. The Wall Street Journal wrote, “Ben Sasse is dying in plain sight… He has spoken to the world about his impending demise like a Christian philosopher of death—frank, unafraid, sometimes folksy, always graceful.” The extraordinary response to his lessons about what truly matters in life—inspiring many—ultimately led him to write this book, alongside his daughter, recent college graduate Alex Sasse.
We’re all going to be pushing up daisies eventually. Wisdom requires us to grapple with our death and our finitude early. This remarkable book from Ben Sasse shows how we can all live—and die—well.

“A lush, gripping tale of forgiveness, hope, and the unshakable bond between sisters.”—R. M. Gray, New York Times bestselling author of the Nightweaver series
“Atmospheric, elegant, and mysterious, A Most Decadent Curse is sure to sweep you away as easily as the treacherous tide that swarms Castle Evermore’s shores.”—Lindsey Olsson, internationally bestselling author of To Drown a Witch
A major new inspirational book by #1 New York Times bestselling author Bishop T.D. Jakes.
History will remember this era not only for what was lost, but for what it revealed. Cities have collapsed under the weight of shifting ground. Floodwaters have erased entire communities. Institutions have fractured in real time. Leadership has faltered. The air we breathe is laced with fear, urgency, and fatigue. What was once predictable is now fragile. What once felt distant is now at our doorstep.
But beneath the headlines, there is another kind of collapse. Quiet. Unseen. The internal unraveling of people holding it all together. Leaders who cannot find rest. Builders who cannot find home. Citizens whose lives look intact on the outside but feel dangerously unrooted within.
Anchored is a call to reclaim the ground within us. It is a global invitation to build a life that does not fracture in high winds. It is written for those who carry influence, whether in boardrooms or classrooms, studios or streets, hospitals or homes. It speaks to entrepreneurs leading companies, artists shaping culture, parents raising futures, and thinkers designing the world to come.
Framed around the enduring image of Jesus asleep in the stern during the storm, this book is a guidebook for turbulent waters and calls leaders, creators, parents, and visionaries to find their center that cannot be shaken. Anchored draws from decades of lived leadership, cultural engagement, and global listening. It challenges the myth that strength means speed, or that visibility equals vision. It urges us to slow down, go inward, and lead forward with intention.
This is a book for anyone who has ever been celebrated publicly and felt unsteady privately. For anyone whose titles have outgrown their truth. For those who are no longer interested in performing wholeness. It aims to help readers live, lead, and love from internal alignment rather than cultural expectation.
From the wildly creative minds of New York Times bestselling authors Steve Berry and Grant Blackwood comes the latest Luke Daniels adventure, in which an historic trip to South America during World War II launches Luke into a present-day quest to find a missing artifact.
August 1941. Walt Disney and a team of animators travel to South America on a State Department-sponsored goodwill tour. While there Walt is given a gift. A 15th century Inca death mask named the Sorcerer’s Veil. Grateful, Walt brings the mask back home and keeps it safe until his death in 1966.
Present day. Luke Daniels is helping out his friend and co-worker, Marcia Pooler, with repairs on her farmhouse in rural Virginia. Their tranquility is suddenly shattered when armed assailants, led by a fierce revolutionary from Ecuador, appear and demand the mask. Things are further complicated when Sean Fernando, an old enemy bent on revenge, aligns himself with the Ecuadorians in their search.
Marcia’s grandfather, Gregg Pooler, was there in 1941 with Walt Disney in South America. After the war Gregg worked for Disney nearly fifty years. Before he died Walt gave Gregg the mask. The problem? Marcia knows nothing about its current whereabouts. But her grandfather left a way to find it, part of a Great Game they once played across Disney theme parks during her childhood. So Luke and Marcia embark on a journey—a hunt for an artifact that, as they learn along the way, holds the key to the future of Ecuador.
From the picturesque Virginia countryside, to the backstages of Disney’s world, and finally deep into the wilds of northern Ecuador, Luke and Marcia fight to stay ahead of their deadly pursuers, all while unlocking the secrets of the Sorcerer’s Veil.
A strategic plan for the fight against the new Jim Crow and a passionate call to get involved.
From attacks on voting and civil rights to the wholesale defunding of Black institutions, Black America is facing a massive, generational attack that amounts to Jim Crow 2.0. Roland Martin argues that if we want to move forward against this backlash, we must look back at the Civil Rights movement and regain some of the solidarity and interdependence that brought Black organizations together to defeat the first Jim Crow.
Recognizing that we can only have power in groups, Black Forward builds off Martin Luther King Jr.’s final book Where Do We Go From Here, which lays out the “structured forces that can serve as the basis for building a powerful, united front” for liberation.
With chapters based on each of these structured forces, Martin mixes unforgettable stories from his own life with his inimitable and urgent style of blistering truthtelling as he lays out marching orders for Black neighborhoods, Black churches, Black media, Black social organizations, and Black businesses, showing how each has been deployed for Black liberation in the past and pointing out its potential for today.
After reading this book we don’t get to sit out another election. We stop spending blindly and start supporting Black business, build Black institutions, and boycott those that do not work for our common good. No more rage without strategy. No more waiting on Washington—it’s time to turn our communities into our battlefield and make change where we stand.
Black Forward maps out a galvanizing plan that starts with your own block and reaches outward through our barbershops, church basements, and boardrooms toward a renewal of Black civic life.

ESPN’s Rich Eisen, host of The Rich Eisen Show and anchor of the NFL Draft for over two decades, explores our strange love affair with the draft in a definitive book that chronicles nearly a century of colorful history, strategic jostling, and insider secrets—with input from coaches, players, executives, scouts, analysts, beat writers, and historians.
The NFL Draft should not be one of the most popular televised sporting events in America, especially given that it doesn’t involve any actual sports. And yet a broadcast that consists of ten hours of people reading names off a list—and the rest of us reacting in real-time to the reading of those names—draws millions of television viewers, fuels a cottage industry of mock-draft experts, and attracts hundreds of thousands of people who flock like festival-goers to watch it live. How did an event that struggled for decades to attract the attention of even the most bored newspaper reporters transform itself into America’s most-watched reality show?
Draft Days is the story of America’s year-round love affair with football. It’s about hope, despair, pageantry, controversy, and the power of television—with cameos from legends, busts, and Mel Kiper’s hair. And who better to write the authoritative book on the subject than the man who’s become its resident emcee? Rich Eisen has had a front-row seat at the heart of the draft as it’s blown up into an annual phenomenon. Now it’s his turn on the clock. He’ll share his inside perspective on the indelible moments and riveting storylines that have transformed the NFL Draft into the league’s offseason Super Bowl—from the brilliant maneuvering to the regrettable choices to the sheer joy and unpredictability of one of sports’ biggest spectacles.
An invitation to live a life of courageous presence.
The Hebrew word Hineini—“Here I am”—appears throughout the Bible at pivotal moments. Abraham says it before the greatest test of his life. Moses answers with it before leading a nation. Isaiah speaks it when he is called to serve. This ancient word still has the power to transform your heart and change your life.
In this deeply personal and spiritually rich book, Yael Eckstein—President and CEO of the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews—explores what it means to stop hiding, step forward, and answer God’s call in the ordinary and extraordinary moments of life. Drawing from timeless Jewish wisdom, biblical stories, and her own experiences leading one of Israel’s largest humanitarian organizations through seasons of profound challenge, she shows that living with an attitude of hineini is less about having all the answers and more about making ourselves fully available—to God, to others, and to the purpose for which we were created.
Through moving stories, practical insights, and fresh perspectives on familiar biblical passages, Hineini offers readers a pathway to greater faith, deeper relationships, and a renewed sense of calling. It reminds us that God is not looking for perfection or extraordinary ability; He is looking for willing hearts that will simply say, “Here I am.”
Whether you are facing uncertainty, waiting for direction, or longing to live with greater purpose, Hineini will inspire you to step out from fear, embrace God’s presence, and discover the extraordinary power of answering His call, in many different circumstances that feel impossible to handle— with one faithful “Here I am” at a time.
From New York Times bestselling author Eli Rallo, a debut novel following the lasting impact of a friendship breakup between two women who had been inseparable since childhood.
For Penelope Straker and Eden Willmington, the term “best friend” has never been enough. They’ve met every milestone and roadblock side-by-side (with Penny always in the lead), from first kisses, trying to “find” themselves at college, to mental health struggles, toxic relationships, and moving to New York City to start their “real lives”. Amidst it all, their friendship was the one thing that was truly unbreakable. But now, they’re no longer speaking.
Penny’s whole world has fallen apart. She’s self-sabotaging—missing meetings at work and convincing herself that all of her friends are hanging out without her. She can’t eat, think, or sleep, and is falling into bad habits, like ghosting her therapist and obsessively swiping on Hinge. This is worse than a breakup. Penny hasn’t just lost Eden… she’s lost her entire sense of self and understanding of her past.
Now, Penny is revisiting moments of their two-plus decades of friendship trying to understand where things went so wrong. Told in alternating timelines, one tracing Penny and Eden’s history and the other unfolding in the immediate aftermath of the breakup, I HOPE EDEN READS THIS asks the question: Is there any heartbreak more painful than the end of a friendship?

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
AN APPLE BEST BOOK OF THE MONTH
Singer-songwriter Neko Case paints a vivid portrait of an extraordinary life—one forged through a poverty-stricken childhood, obsessive desire, bursts of comedy, and indispensable friendships—reflecting on the way art, music, and a deep connection to nature helped her become a beloved, Grammy-nominated artist.
“A hell of an origin story: heartbreaking and funny, brave and weird, hard to swallow and impossible to put down.” -Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful
Neko Case has long been revered as one of music’s most influential artists, whose authenticity, lyrical storytelling, and sly wit have endeared her to a legion of critics, musicians, and lifelong fans. In The Harder I Fight the More I Love You, Case brings her trademark candor and precision to a memoir that traces her evolution from an invisible girl “raised by two dogs and a space heater” in rural Washington state to her improbable emergence as an internationally-acclaimed talent.
In luminous, sharp-edged prose, Case shows readers what it’s like to be left alone for hours and hours as a child, to take refuge in the woods around her home, and to channel the monotony and loneliness and joy that comes from music, camaraderie, and shared experience into art.
The Harder I Fight the More I Love You is a rebellious meditation on identity and corruption, and a manifesto on how to make space for ourselves in this world, despite the obstacles we face.
“A vivid, exuberant, heartrending coming-of-age story that demonstrates the saving power of art. This book captured me the way Case’s songs do: with their ache and beauty and promise that the only way through this life is to feel it all.” -Melissa Febos, author of Girlhood, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism

But with war between wolves and witches poised to destroy both kingdoms, there is only one path to peace: Raphael and Elaine must marry and unite their countries.
Elaine has already lost the man she loves once. She will not let his curse erase what they shared—or shatter the fragile alliance their people need to survive. Yet as Raphael’s suspicion deepens, so does the pull of a bond he cannot explain. His mind may reject her, but his wolf recognizes her as its mate.
To end the war and reclaim their love, they must stand together to overcome the forces that turned fated lovers into enemies.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown returns with another signature sexy suspense about a screenwriter and an ER nurse trying to find the truth about the mysterious deaths of their spouses while fighting an undeniable—but suspicious—attraction to each other.
Oscar award‑winning screenplay writer Shafer Graham is in the midst of finalizing a contentious divorce from his wife when he gets informed that she has been in a horrific car accident near his North Carolina mountain home. After succumbing to her injuries in the ER, police detective Dwight Barnes suspects that someone else was in the car with her, and his foremost person of interest is Shafer. Who insists he’d last seen his wife when she’d come to his house that morning unannounced, demanding more money out of their divorce settlement, which became final the very day she was killed.
Fifteen months later, everyone in Hollywood is eagerly awaiting Shafer’s next script, but he’s been struggling with writers block and continues to be harassed by Detective Barnes about the circumstances of his wife’s fatal accident. Brett Martin is unknown to Shafer until she shows up at his door and identifies herself as the ER nurse who ultimately called the flat line on his ex‑wife. Further, Brett suspects the person in the car with Shafer’s ex was her husband, as his body has just been discovered—with a gunshot to the head—some distance away from the site of the car crash.
With Barnes determined to implicate both of them in the deaths of their spouses, Shafer and Brett must band together to discover the truth of what actually happened, while fighting their eyebrow-raising, but irresistible attraction.

Chicago Blue is the story of a family.
The son of Chicago’s ex-chief of detectives, Billy Harney was born to be a cop. So was his twin sister, Patti. The decorated homicide detectives play it by the book. Their father, Daniel Harney, never did. He’s always known how to disappear someone. Especially himself.

After a long and mysterious absence, Daniel Harney returns to find his former PD under siege. The governor and mayor have been shot. A spree killer is targeting police officers. Can the city be Harney’s once again?
Chicago Blue is the story of a city.
Thrumming with conflict from the West Side to Mount Greenwood, from Woodlawn to the skyscrapers downtown, this is a story as twisty as the Chicago River. The citizens of Chicago are together for better or worse—if they don’t kill one another along the way.
Chicago Blue is an inventive, propulsive thriller about power, corruption, and destructive secrets.
Aloysius Archer returns to find himself at the heart of a conspiracy bigger than anyone could ever imagine from #1 New York Times bestselling author David Baldacci.
Private investigator and World War II veteran Aloysius Archer is no stranger to trouble, but when the former love of his life Liberty Callahan walks into his West Hollywood office, he knows this case will be different. Her friend Betty Sams needs help: a mysterious letter delivered by a wild-haired hermit to her employer, the enigmatic medium Father John, has set off a chain of events. Before Archer can dig deeper, the hermit turns up dead—officially a heart attack, unofficially murdered.
Suddenly Archer is neck-deep in a nightmare that stretches from the glittering mansions of Bel Air to the shadowy world of atomic secrets, lethally minded spies from multiple countries, and a doomsday weapon that could end everything. The cops are covering up murders and the FBI wants Archer to back off, but he instead risks all to untangle a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of American intelligence.
In the City of Angels, long built on dreams and deception, Archer will need every ounce of his war-honed instincts and PI skills to survive a case where the enemy wears a badge, the stakes are global annihilation, and trusting anyone is the deadliest gamble of all.
This is a story that could be ripped from today’s headlines, and a thriller like no other.

An upscale bartender—seen unresponsive outside a trendy nightclub.

Two former rivals are thrown back together over the course of one steamy summer in the Hamptons, in this emotionally rich and devastatingly sexy debut rom-com for fans of Emily Henry, Carley Fortune, and Ali Hazelwood.
Sometimes one summer can change everything.
Charlotte Parker is in a rut. Recently out of a long-term relationship, stalled out at her nonprofit job, and desperate for a change, she jumps at the chance to spend the weekend at a coworker’s friend’s Hamptons cottage. Yet what Charlotte doesn’t expect is that the “cottage” in question is more like a mansion, and the owner is none other than Jacob Morgan—Charlotte’s high school nemesis.
And Jacob is exactly as maddening as she remembers.
But as one weekend turns into a summer, Charlotte realizes that Jacob is not nearly the same arrogant rich kid he was a decade ago. And as the thin line between loathing and lust begins to blur, Charlotte wonders if a summer fling with her once-sworn enemy could be just what she needs to shake things up. If Jacob Morgan, of all people, is capable of change, could the same thing be true for her?
For fans of Patricia Lockwood and Dolly Alderton: a hilariously moving love story hinging on one momentous evening, about a newly in-love couple who attend a lively dinner party, and what comes after
Two years into their relationship, Magnus knows many things about Meredith.
She is a woman of perpetually high spirits. All-American, she possesses the air of someone who has both funneled beer from a plastic pitcher down her open throat and tasted caviar straight from the fish. She never manufactures conflict to get his attention, never stiffens in anger for no good reason. And she has shown Magnus, for the first time in his romantic life, that it is possible to love someone without also despising them, even slightly.
But this blissful adoration brings with it a quieter anxiety. Might she grow tired of him, of their life in his native Sweden? What does she want from him: everything or nothing at all?
Tonight, Magnus and Meredith are going to a fortieth birthday party.
It will be an evening like many others: people will talk too much, drink too much, and confide things they shouldn’t – about the price of the wine on the table, their obsessive marathon training, their dark pasts, marital regrets and secret aspirations. There will be indecent behavior, shifting alliances, late-night dancing and the faint, persistent sense that something larger is at stake.
Because beneath all the conversations happening around the table is the one that Magnus and Meredith are not having: should this be the night they start trying for a baby, and in a relationship this happy, what the hell is going to happen next?
For readers of Dolly Alderton and Jen Beagin, Small Talk is a sharp, tender and very funny novel about one couple, one night, and the moment a life might begin to change.
