One Nation After TrumpA Guide for the Perplexed, the Disillusioned, the Desperate, andthe Not-Yet Deportedby E.J. Dionne, Norman J. Ornstein and Thomas E. Mann

American democracy was never supposed to give the nation a president likeDonald Trump. We have never had a president who gave rise to suchwidespread alarm about his lack of commitment to the institutions of self-government, to the norms democracy requires, and to the need for basicknowledge about how government works. We have never had a presidentwho raises profound questions about his basic competence and hispsychological capacity to take on the most challenging political office in theworld.

Yet if Trump is both a threat to our democracy and a product of itsweaknesses, the citizen activism he has inspired is the antidote. The reactionto the crisis created by Trump's presidency can provide the foundation for anera of democratic renewal and vindicate our long experiment in self-rule.

The award-winning authors of One Nation After Trump explain Trump's riseand the danger his administration poses to our free institutions. They alsooffer encouragement to the millions of Americans now experiencing a newsense of citizenship and engagement and argue that our nation needs aunifying alternative to Trump's dark and divisive brand of politics-an alternativerooted in a New Economy, a New Patriotism, a New Civil Society, and a NewDemocracy. One Nation After Trump is the essential book for our era, anunsparing assessment of the perils facing the United States and an inspiringroadmap for how we can reclaim the future.

What the Hell Did I Just ReadA Novel of Cosmic Horrorby David Wong

John Dies at the End 's "smart take on fear manages to tap into readers'existential dread on one page, then have them laughing the next" ( PublishersWeekly ) and This Book is Full of Spiders was "unlike any other book of thegenre" ( Washington Post ). Now, Wong delivers "the humorous horrorreaders have come to expect" ( Publishers Weekly, starred) in the thirdinstallment of this black-humored thriller series.

While investigating a fairly straightforward case of a shapeshifting entity fromanother dimension snatching local children, the gang realize there mightactually be something weird going on. Together they will navigate a hilariouslyconvoluted maze of illusions, lies, and their own incompetence, attempting touncover a terrible truth they'd be better off not knowing.

Equal parts terrifying and darkly comedic in his writing, David Wong "will beremembered as one of today's great satirists" ( Nerdist ).

for What the Hell Did I Just Read :

"Filled with the humorous horror readers have come to expect." - PublishersWeekly (starred review)

"A frenetic, welcome return to Dave and John's grotesque but funnygrindhouse nightmare." - Kirkus Reviews

"Another action-packed horror adventure full of crude but effective humor." -Library Journal

"What the Hell Did I Just Read is reminiscent of Douglas Adams's work,stuffed with layers of absurd pastiche." - Washington Post

Real AmericanA Memoirby Julie Lythcott-Haims

Bringing a poetic sensibility to her prose to stunning effect, Lythcott-Haimsbriskly and stirringly evokes her personal battle with the low self-esteem thatAmerican racism routinely inflicts on people of color. The only child of amarriage between an African American father and a white British mother, sheshows indelibly how so-called microaggressions in addition to blunt forceinsults can puncture a person's inner life with a thousand sharp cuts. RealAmerican expresses also, through Lythcott-Haims's path to self-acceptance,the healing power of community in overcoming the hurtful isolation of beingincessantly considered "the other."

The author of the New York Times bestselling anti-helicopter parentingmanifesto How to Raise an Adult, Lythcott-Haims has written a different sort ofbook this time out, but one that will nevertheless resonate with the legions ofstudents, educators, and parents to whom she is now well known, by whomshe is beloved, and to whom she has always provided wise and necessarycounsel about how to embrace and nurture their best selves. Real American isan affecting memoir, an unforgettable cri de coeur, and a clarion call to all ofus to live more wisely, generously, and fully.

Year OneChronicles of the One, Book 1by Nora Roberts

The sickness came on suddenly, and spread quickly. The fear spread evenfaster. Within weeks, everything people counted on began to fail them. Theelectrical grid sputtered; law and government collapsed-and more than half ofthe world's population was decimated.

And as the power of science and technology receded, magic rose up in itsplace. Some of it is good, like the witchcraft worked by Lana Bingham,practicing in the loft apartment she share with her lover, Max. Some of it isunimaginably evil, and it can lurk anywhere, around a corner, in fetid tunnelsbeneath the river-or in the ones you know and love the most. As word spreadsthat neither the immune nor the gifted are safe from the authorities who patrolthe ravaged streets, Lana and Max make their way out of a wrecked New YorkCity. At the same time, other travelers are heading west too, into a newfrontier.

In a world of survivors where every stranger encountered could be either asavage or a savior, none of them knows exactly where they are heading, orwhy. But a purpose awaits them that will shape their lives and the lives of allthose who remain.

The end has come. The beginning comes next.
