Book excerpt: A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Featured in its own episode in the Netflix original show Bookmarks: Celebrating Black Voices! National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson and two-time Pura Belpré Illustrator Award winner Rafael López have teamed up to create a poignant, yet heartening book about finding courage to connect, even when you feel scared and alone. There will be times when you walk into a room and no one there is quite like you. There are many reasons to feel different. Maybe it's how you look or talk, or where you're from; maybe it's what you eat, or something just as random. It's not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet, but somehow you do it. Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical text and Rafael López's dazzling art reminds us that we all feel like outsiders sometimes-and how brave it is that we go forth anyway. And that sometimes, when we reach out and begin to share our stories, others will be happy to meet us halfway. (This book is also available in Spanish, as El Día En Que Descubres Quién Eres!)

Book excerpt: In June 2010, the editors of The New Yorker announced to widespread media coverage their selection of "20 Under 40"—the young fiction writers who are, or will be, central to their generation. The magazine published twenty stories by this stellar group of writers over the course of the summer. They are now collected for the first time in one volume. The range of voices is extraordinary. There is the lyrical realism of Nell Freudenberger, Philipp Meyer, C. E. Morgan, and Salvatore Scibona; the satirical comedy of Joshua Ferris and Gary Shteyngart; and the genre-bending tales of Jonathan Safran Foer, Nicole Krauss, and Téa Obreht. David Bezmozgis and Dinaw Mengestu offer clear eyed portraits of immigration and identity; Sarah Shun-lien Bynum, ZZ Packer, and Wells Tower offer voice-driven, idiosyncratic narratives. Then there are the haunting sociopolitical stories of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Daniel Alarcón, and Yiyun Li, and the metaphysical fantasies of Chris Adrian, Rivka Galchen, and Karen Russell. Each of these writers reminds us why we read. And each is aiming for greatness: fighting to get and to hold our attention in a culture that is flooded with words, sounds, and pictures; fighting to surprise, to entertain, to teach, and to move not only us but generations of readers to come. A landmark collection, 20 Under 40 stands as a testament to the vitality of fiction today.

However, Fiordelisa's life takes a turn for the worse when her father remarries a cunning woman who brings along her own daughter to live at the palace. Her new stepmother and stepsister, Turritella, do all they could to make Fiordelisa's life miserable. One day, King Aderyn comes to visit their kingdom in search of a wife. Fiordelisa and Aderyn begin falling in love, but happiness for them proves difficult to obtain. The two lovers are torn apart when the queen shuts Fiordelisa up in a tower and Turritella's fairy godmother turns Aderyn into a blue bird. When the Blue Bird finds Fiordelisa in her tower, the two are thrilled at their reunion. Unfortunately, their joy is short lived when the queen tricks the Blue Bird into believing Fiordelisa has betrayed him. Heartbroken, Fiordelisa must free herself from the tower and win back Aderyn's love. With deceit and magical obstacles standing in their way, Fiordelisa and Aderyn must rely on the strength of their own hearts to overcome every hardship to keep their love alive.

Book excerpt: Joseph Conrad's 'Ultimate Collection' is a comprehensive compilation that includes 18 novels, over 20 short stories, letters, and memoirs that showcase the author's mastery of the English language and his profound exploration of human nature. Conrad's literary style is characterized by rich prose, intricate narratives, and deeply complex characters, highlighting themes of imperialism, morality, and the darkness of the human soul. This collection serves as a valuable literary resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike, offering a diverse range of Conrad's works in one volume. The inclusion of his personal letters and memoirs provides insight into the author's life and influences on his writing. Joseph Conrad, a Polish-born British writer, drew inspiration for his works from his experiences as a seaman and his observations of the colonial world. His deep understanding of the human psyche and his ability to craft compelling narratives have cemented his reputation as one of the greatest English novelists of the 20th century. Conrad's unique perspective on themes of morality, power, and identity continues to resonate with readers today. I highly recommend 'Joseph Conrad Ultimate Collection' to readers who appreciate classic literature and enjoy thought-provoking narratives that delve into the complexities of human nature. This collection offers a comprehensive look at Conrad's literary legacy, showcasing his timeless relevance and enduring impact on the world of literature.
