Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline (Ready Player One #2)
Blurb: Days after winning Oasis founder James Halliday's
contest, Wade Watts makes a discovery that changes everything.
Hidden within Halliday's vaults, waiting for his heir to find, lies a
technological advancement that will once again change the world and make the

possible.
With it comes a new riddle, and a new quest—a last Easter egg from Halliday,
hinting at a mysterious prize.
And an unexpected, impossibly powerful, and dangerous new rival awaits, one
who'll kill millions to get what he wants.
Wade's life and the future of the Oasis are again at stake, but this time the
fate of humanity also hangs in the balance.

How to Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley
Blurb: A senior citizens’ center and a daycare collide
with hilarious results in the new ensemble comedy from New York Times-
bestselling author Clare Pooley
When Lydia takes a job running the Senior Citizens’ Social Club three
afternoons a week, she assumes she’ll be spending her time drinking tea and
playing gentle games of cards.
The members of the Social Club, however, are not at all what Lydia was
expecting. From Art, a failed actor turned kleptomaniac to Daphne, who has been
hiding from her dark past for decades to Ruby, a Banksy-style knitter who gets
revenge in yarn, these seniors look deceptively benign—but when age makes you
invisible, secrets are so much easier to hide.
When the city council threatens to sell the doomed community center building,
the members of the Social Club join forces with their tiny friends in the
daycare next door—as well as the teenaged father of one of the toddlers and a
geriatric dog—to save the building. Together, this group’s unorthodox methods
may actually work, as long as the police don’t catch up with them first.

- but the real games have only just begun . . .

Home Is Where the Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose
Blurb: After their mother passes, three estranged
siblings reunite to sort out her estate. Beth, the oldest, never left home. She
stayed with her mom, caring for her until the very end. Nicole, the middle
child, has been kept at arm's length due to her ongoing battle with a serious
drug addiction. Michael, the youngest, lives out of state and hasn't been back
to their small Wisconsin town since their father ran out on them seven years
before.
While going through their parents' belongings, the siblings stumble upon a
collection of home videos and decide to revisit those happier memories.
However, the nostalgia is cut short when one of the VHS tapes reveals a night
back in 1999 that none of them have any recollection of. On screen, their
father appears covered in blood. What follows is a dead body and a pact between
their parents to get rid of it, before the video abruptly ends.
Beth, Nicole, and Michael must now decide whether to leave the past in the past
or uncover the dark secret their mother took to her grave.

Song of the Huntress by Lucy Holland
Blurb: Britain, 60AD. Hoping to save her lover, her land,
and her people from the Romans, Herla makes a desperate pact with the king of
the Otherworld. But years pass unheeded in his realm, and she escapes to find
everyone she loved long dead. Cursed to wield his blade, she becomes Lord of
the Hunt. And for centuries, she rides, leading her immortal warriors and
reaping wanderers’ souls. Until the night she meets a woman on a bloody
battlefield—a Saxon queen with ice-blue eyes.
Queen Æthelburg of Wessex is a proven fighter. But when she leads her forces to
disaster in battle, her husband’s court turns against her. Yet King Ine needs
Æthel more than ever. Something dark and dangerous is at work in the Wessex
court. His own brother seeks to usurp him. And their only hope is the magic in
Ine’s bloodline that’s lain dormant since ancient days.
The moment she and Æthel meet, Herla knows it’s no coincidence. The dead kings
are waking. The Otherworld seeks to rise, to bring the people of Britain under
its dominion. And as Herla and Æthel grow closer, Herla must find her
humanity—and a way to break the curse—before it’s too late.
