City of Time and Magic by Paula Brackston.
City of Time and
Magic sees Xanthe face her greatest challenges yet. She must choose from
three treasures that sing to her: a beautiful writing slope, a mourning brooch
of heartbreaking detail, and a gorgeous gem-set hat pin. All call her, but the
wrong one could take her on a mission other than that which she must address
first, and the stakes could not be higher. While her earlier mission to Regency
England had been a success, the journey home resulted in Liam being taken from
her, spirited away to another time and place. Xanthe must follow the treasure
that will take her to him if he is not to be lost forever.
The Fastest Way to Fall by Denise Williams.
"Britta Colby works
for a lifestyle website, and when tasked to write about her experience with a
hot new body-positive fitness app that includes personal coaching, she knows
it's a major opportunity to prove she should write for the site full-time. As
CEO of the FitMi Fitness app, Wes Lawson finally has the financial security he
grew up without, but despite his success, his floundering love life and
complicated family situation leaves him feeling isolated and unfulfilled. He
decides to get back to what he loves -- coaching. Britta is his first new
client and they click immediately. As weeks pass, she's surprised at how much
she enjoys experimenting with her exercise routine. He's surprised at how much
he looks forward to talking to her every day. They convince themselves their
attraction is harmless, but when they start working out in person, Wes and
Britta find it increasingly challenging to deny their chemistry and maintain a
professional distance. Wes isn't supposed to be training clients, much less
meeting with them, and Britta's credibility will be sunk if the lifestyle site
finds out she's practically dating the fitness coach she's reviewing. Walking
away from each other is the smartest thing to do, but running side by side
feels like the start of something big."-- Provided by publisher.

She Made Me Laugh by Stephanie Emmons.
Most people likely know of
Mother Teresa's great faithfulness to God's call as she started her ministry to
the poor in Calcutta. But at the time, few knew that she had lost all sense of
God's presence, love, and sometimes the assurance that God existed at all.
Astonishingly, for 50 years, the saint's life was spent in what she called
"the darkness." Yet, somehow Mother Teresa managed to get up every
morning and say yes to God. And not only did she say yes, she came to accept
the darkness, while also allowing a sense of humor and even playfulness to
shine through. This book is a memoir of the author's direct experiences with
Mother Teresa during a trip to Calcutta in 1996 when she discovered that sense
of humor first hand. It is also an extended reflection on the beloved saint's
"dark night of the soul" and what that might mean for spiritual
seekers today.
