Becky Lynch: The Man: Not Your Average Average Girl
A New York Times bestseller This 'infectious and contagious' ('Stone Cold' Steve Austin) memoir from WWE superstar Rebecca Quin--a.k.a. The Man, a.k.a. Becky Lynch--delves into her earliest wrestling days, her scrappy beginnings, and her meteoric rise to fame. Raised in Dublin, Ireland, in a devoutly Catholic family, Rebecca Quin constantly invented new ways to make her mother worry--roughhousing with the neighborhood kids, hosting secret parties while her parents were away, enrolling in a warehouse wrestling school, nearly breaking her neck and almost kneecapping a WWE star before her own wrestling career even began--and she was always in search of a thrilling escape from the ordinary. Rebecca's childhood love of wrestling set her on an unlikely path. With few female wrestlers to look to for guidance, Rebecca pursued a wrestling career hoping to change the culture and move it away from the antiquated disrespect so often directed at the elite female athletes who grace the ring. Even

Tegan and Sara: Junior High
From indie-pop twin-sister duo Tegan and Sara comes their bestselling contemporary middle grade graphic novel about growing up, coming out, and finding yourself through music and sisterhood--perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier's Sisters and Sweet Valley Twins. Before Tegan and Sara took the music world by storm, the Quins were just two identical twins trying to find their place in a new home and new school. From first crushes to the perils of puberty, surviving junior high is something the sisters plan to face side by side, just like they've always faced things. But growing up also means growing apart, as Tegan and Sara make different friends and take separate paths to understanding their queerness. For the first time ever, they ask who one sister is without the other. Set in the present day, this effervescent blend of fiction and autobiography, with artwork from Eisner Award-winner Tillie Walden, offers a glimpse at the twin sisters before they became indie-pop icons, exploring

Tre
Ett försvinnande till havs inleder Tre. En ung kvinna, S, är borta. Självmord? Det gnabbande medelåldersparet Ruth och Leonard, som kvinnan tidigare varit inneboende hos, vräker sig över hennes dagbok, över ljudupptagningarna och filmerna hon lämnat efter sig. ?? De smaklösa måltiderna, den krävande katten. Sommarhuset, orkidéerna. Och så den tomma simbassängen fylld med trasiga statyer där en pantomim sätts upp. ?? Snart tar besattheten över äktenskapet och fram träder ett uppslukande porträtt av deras triad, präglad av övervakning och voyeurism, allt medan en underström av känslor och sexualitet löper över sidorna.

A book of voices, landscapes and seasons, Ann Quin's newly republished novel mirrors the multiplicity of meanings of the very word 'passage' - of music, of time, and of life itself. A woman, accompanied by her lover, searches for her lost brother,...
Berg
ALISTAIR CHARLES HUMPHREY BERG, född den tredje i tredje nittonhundratrettioett. Faderns yrke: hedersman av okänd härkomst, skurk av första graden. Modern: en dam utan motstycke, mor till geniet ... Perukförsäljaren Berg har begett sig till en rekreationsort vid havet för att mörda sin far. Utan att röja sin identitet hyr han ett rum vägg i vägg där fadern bor tillsammans med sin älskarinna. Men snart blir ingenting som Berg tänkt sig. Istället följer ett intrikat triangeldrama där whiskyn flödar, en skyltdocka bärs runt inlindad i en matta och både katter och undulater får sätta livet till. På en utsökt prosa fylld av absurd humor drivs dramat framåt genom en delirisk inre monolog, minnen ur det förflutna, nuets ansikten och röster samt drömmar om framtiden. Allt filtrerat genom Bergs förvirrade blick och med kuststadens pinande kyla som fond.

Ensnared
Even if the world did end, five men is far too many to handle. Isn't it? Since the Final War, I've been doing just fine. I have a lovely cave, a darling vegetable patch, forest views . . . and if loneliness sometimes squeezes my aching heart, well, my books have always kept me company. That is, until a pack of hunters chase me from my home and right into the arms of several rather large, rather brutish ex-Army Rangers. And those brutes have the nerve to make me the rudest offer I've ever heard. Their protection-for my body. The whole thing is absurd. Scandalous. Perverted, even. I mean, just the thought of doing that with five men, well, it's . . . it's . . . I take the deal. Okay, so it's possible I find them indecently tempting. But these men also have secrets, and pasts so fraught with emotion, I'm not sure I can untangle them all. Or whether they'll let me. No, my brutes have made it excruciatingly clear where they think I belong-beneath them, between them, bent over backwards for
