Saturday Kids Storytime

Discover delicious, plant-based Mexican recipes from a Culinary Institute of America-trained Mexican chef. When Dora Ramírez gave up eating animal-based foods, she worried that it meant giving up her favorite Mexican dishes. But once she started reinventing her favorite recipes, she realized that plant-based ingredients actually enhance the dishes. In Comida Casera, Dora shares her fresh take on traditional cuisine in chapters devoted to everything from favorite home comfort foods to fine dining. From Indigenous recipes created in partnership with cocineras tradicionales to Mexico's markets and street vendors, Comida Casera is a delicious love letter to food and culture, celebrating the interconnectedness of both through a plant-based lens. ?With recipes for: Almond Queso Fresco Green Chilaquiles Chilorio Burritos Pumpkin Seed Enchiladas Vanilla Flan, & more! “My cookbook is a love letter to my country and my people. It is a book that honors traditional Mexican flavors and techniques, but relies on the immense world of plants to do so.”—Dora Ramírez

Join us and welcome local author Jenna Avery to B&N Northwoods! Jenna will be in-store signing copies of her books on Saturday, April 25th @ 1:00PM OVERVIEW Always the wedding photographer, never the bride. The dating scene in Gondora sucks worse than a rabid Kraken, especially for die-hard romantic Reverie Songlight. Even her lucky-in-love wedding photography clients can't seem to share their good fortune. So when a charming Gargoyle named Luca offers to buy her a drink at her favorite puff bar, she figures it's worth a shot. Over a year later, Reverie's still angry with the Gargoyle who ghosted her. She's resigned herself to never seeing him again. So when Luca turns up at a Satyr wedding as the replacement second photographer, she's desperate to get rid of him. Unfortunately, he's the only one standing between her photography company failing or succeeding for the next month. It's just four weddings. Then she never has to see him again. Luca regrets disappearing and wants nothing more than to atone for the mistake. He's entranced by the woman made of glitter, but Reverie's determined to hold him at wing's length. No stranger to proving himself, he meets every glare with a grin. Each verbal barb receives a joke in return. Luca has thirty days to change her mind, and he'll make every moment count. The dance between aching hearts is a messy one, and they're both unfamiliar with the steps. As each wedding passes, their connection deepens as tensions rise. The clock is ticking in more ways than one. Luca knows he needs to be honest, but if she knew the truth, he'd lose her forever. Love may not have a timeline - but secrets do. Glittering Skies is a contemporary romantasy written in a dual first-person POV. You'll find banter, open-door romance, and approachable world-building - perfect for those who don't enjoy full fantasy worlds, but really want to read about a charming Gargoyle and a woman made of glitter who photograph fantasy weddings. This is a standalone, but it connects to the following two books. However, the following two books are not required to read. ----------------------------------------- Saira Andromeda might have discovered the key to time travel, but the timing couldn't be worse. On one hand, she and her father have just enough supplies to travel through parallel universes. Unfortunately, there isn't time to save her family from being destroyed by an oncoming asteroid. Like any intrepid scientist, Saira's willing to embark into the unknown to find a haven for her family's escape. Loaded with survival gear, a sense of curiosity, and a drive to collect samples, nothing stands in Saira's way of saving her family. Except for everything that keeps trying to eat her. She barely used a treadmill between experiments in the lab - now she's running for her life. This is not what she signed up for. When a black wolf saves her from a bear attack, Saira's intrigued to discover she's landed in a matriarchal shifter society run by Kalliope, the lordess of Illorna. Hoping this might be a safe place for her family, Saira immerses herself in the new world and the unexpected romance between the commanding lordess and her irreverent consort, Legend. Saira may have all the time in the world, but the clock is ticking. Her family will remain dead if she can't find the answers she's looking for. Unfortunately, she's less welcome in this world than expected. Thrust into unexpected politics and shifter conflict, Saira must decide whether her heart or her family is more important. And it may turn out to be the hardest decision of her life. Through the Folded Stars is Book 1 in The Singularity Series, offering the adventure of Doctor Who, the writing style of Ali Hazelwood, and the culture clash of Outlander.

Except—they’re behind schedule, they’ve run out of money and . . . oh! The star has just been murdered. Ex-Detective Inspector Daniel Hawthorne is dead. Or, rather, the actor playing him in the film adaptation of The Word is Murder is. Rising star David Caine has been stabbed, and it seems that everyone on the set had a motive. Caine had just fired his PA. He had fallen out with his director, slept with the screenwriter, humiliated his co-star and dropped his agent days before he was about to sign a multi-million-dollar deal to appear in the next Spider-Man movie. But what if Caine’s murderer had made a mistake? What if it was the real Hawthorne who was the intended victim? For it turns out that the brilliant detective may have got it wrong ten years earlier. An innocent man has died in jail. And perhaps someone has decided that Hawthorne must pay the price. From the film set on the south coast of England, the story moves to Reeth, in Yorkshire, the village where Hawthorne grew up. A burned-down school, a car accident that isn’t what it seems, blackmail and murder in an Elizabethan country house . . . somehow they combine to unlock the secret of what has happened in Hastings. For once, the local police are helpful. DS Sarah Milnes gives Hawthorne carte blanche to investigate and there may even be a hint of romance in the air. Which leaves his hapless sidekick, Horowitz, on his own, stumbling his way to the truth. A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, A Deadly Episode is an intriguing page-turner that once again demonstrates why Anthony Horowitz is the reigning king of the modern whodunit. ABOUT ANTHONY HOROWITZ: Anthony Horowitz is one of the UK’s most prolific and successful writers, unique in being active in both adult and YA fiction, TV, theater, and journalism.

When security and fire alarms go off simultaneously all around the world, setting off a panic, the signal is traced back to China. As world leaders scramble to respond, Vivien and Alice are called to the White House in hopes Madame Li can interpret the Chinese intentions. But why involve Alice? If China isn’t behind the attack, Vivien warns, someone even more dangerous is pulling the strings. Mother and daughter must join together to overcome their estrangement if they have any hope of preventing global catastrophe. From DC to Ohio to Hong Kong, they work to prevent the next attack, along the way decoding an ancient legend and uncovering a secret language invented by women, for women. The Last Mandarin is an electrifying study of absolute power and voracious greed, political terror and personal conviction. But it is also an intimate examination of choice, of sacrifice, of memory and myths, both cultural and personal. It is the story of a mother and daughter, as well as a compelling international thriller about the precarious balance of power across the world, and within a family. And what happens when both break down. In a world ruled by power, even family can be a weapon. ABOUT LOUISE PENNY: Louise Penny is the multi-award winning author of the Chief Inspector Gamache novels, set in her home province of Québec, Canada.
