CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

The True Love Experiment
By Christina Lauren

The latest offering from bestsellers Christina Lauren, the combined pen name of long-time writing partners and best friends Christina Hobbs and Lauren Billings. Fizzy Chen has an incredible career as a beloved romance novelist, but when she’s asked to give a commencement address, it hits her: she hasn’t been practising what she’s preached and has never really been in love.

Connor Prince, documentary filmmaker and single father, is completely thrown when his profit-minded boss orders him to create a reality TV show about love. Can he make the queen of romance fall in love in front of the camera? Thus, The True Love Experiment begins.

SCIENCE FICTION

Fractal Noise
By Christopher Paolini

On the planet Talos VII, 23 years before the events of To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, an anomaly is detected. A vast circular pit, with dimensions so perfect that it could only have been the result of conscious design. So, a small team is assembled to learn more – perhaps even who built the hole and why. Their mission will take them on a hazardous trek to the very edge of existence.

For one explorer, this is the opportunity of a lifetime. For another, a risk not worth taking. And for xenobiologist Alex Crichton, it’s a desperate attempt to find meaning in an uncaring universe.
