The (Fake) Dating Game
by Timothy Janovsky&“Game show antics, idiots in love, and a healthy dose of steam…this book is everything I want in a romance novel!&” —Alison Cochrun, author of The Charm Offensive and Kiss Her Once for MeReady. Set. Faux.Holden James picked the worst time to have a meltdown. His chance to audition for his favorite game show, Madcap Market, should have been a moment of triumph—a glorious, loving homage to his adored mom, who died six years ago. Instead, he&’s destroying the minibar in a grim Los Angeles hotel room…recently dumped, partnerless and sliding into misery.But at least the hotel service is sublime. It even comes with an unfairly fit and sexy (smart-ass) concierge who arrives at the door with pizza, Monopoly and deliciously distracting forearms.All Holden knows about Leo Min is that he&’s beautiful and unexpectedly sympathetic, and the chemistry between them is beyond. Maybe it&’s even enough to convince everyone, including the show&’s casting directors, that they&’re a real couple. All they&’d have to do is crush the competition, win the huge cash prize and all of Holden&’s problems—his broken heart, his buried grief, his complete lack of money and direction—will be fixed.Of course, reality doesn&’t quite work out that way. But love is an entirely different game…From showing up to glowing up, these characters are on the path to leading their best lives and finding sizzling romance along the way.Don&’t miss these other fun titles from Afterglow Books:The Bookbinder&’s Guide to Love by Katherine GarberaThe Devil in Blue Jeans by Stacey KennedyFrenemy Fix-Up by Yahrah St. JohnThe Boyfriend Subscription by Steven SalvatoreManila Takes Manhattan by Carla de GuzmanFake Flame by Adele BuckOut of Office by A.H.

The only problem is that he's still in good health, and in one day, he turns 100. A big celebration is in the works, but Allan really isn't interested (and he'd like a bit more control over his vodka consumption). So he decides to escape. He climbs out the window in his slippers and embarks on a hilarious and entirely unexpected journey, involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some unpleasant criminals, a friendly hot-dog stand operator, and an elephant (not to mention a death by elephant).It would be the adventure of a lifetime for anyone else, but Allan has a larger-than-life backstory: Not only has he witnessed some of the most important events of the twentieth century, but he has actually played a key role in them. Starting out in munitions as a boy, he somehow finds himself involved in many of the key explosions of the twentieth century and travels the world, sharing meals and more with everyone from Stalin, Churchill, and Truman to Mao, Franco, and de Gaulle.

The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Blue Bear: A Novel
by Walter MoersFrom an author who is “equal parts J.K. Rowling, Douglas Adams, and Shel Silverstein,” the zany illustrated adventures of a sea-faring blue bear. —The Washington PostCaptain Bluebear is a bear with blue fur, a creature as unique as the fantastic adventures he undergoes. Unlike cats, which have only nine lives, bluebears have twenty-seven. This is fortunate, because our hero is forever avoiding disaster by a paw's breadth. In this remarkable book, Captain Bluebear tells the story of his first thirteen-and-a-half lives spent on the mysterious continent of Zamonia, where intelligence is an infectious disease and water flows uphill, where headless giants roam deserts made of sugar, and where only Captain Bluebear's courage and ingenuity enable him to escape the dangers that lie in wait for him around every corner. In company with our indomitable hero, we enter a land of imaginative lunacy and supreme adventure, wicked satire and epic fantasy, all mixed together, turned on its head, and lavishly illustrated by the author.Praise for Walter Moers:“Sheer craziness . . . very amusing.” —Daily Telegraph“Moers's great strength, as evidenced by the multitude of characters he presents, is his creativity. Less a text and more an imagination on paper.” —Philadelphia Enquirer“Moers’ creative mind is like J.K. Rowling on ecstasy.” —Detroit News
