Humorous Dark Comedy

Everyone knows about Nostradamus.
No one knows about Philibert Montmorency.
One’s a legend. The other…not so much. 🔮😂

Marseille, 1561

Like the majority of people living in sixteenth century France, Philibert Montmorency is a peasant. Unlike most people, he’s pretending not to be one. Philibert is a conman, but a chance meeting with Nostradamus in a Marseille prison convinces him that being a prophet might be a better career move. 🎭

Lyon, Modern Day

Dr Ally Oldfield, renowned professor of medieval languages, has been summoned to Lyon to authenticate a newly discovered prophecy. She’s not happy about it but then again, she’s not happy about most things. 😤 As an expert in Nostradamus’s work, she’s convinced the new quatrain is a fake even if the evidence suggests it was written four hundred years ago. When the events it predicts become reality, Ally finds herself in a race against time to prove it’s a fraud. ⏰

As society breaks down fearing the end of the world, Ally must use the clues scattered through Lyon’s Renaissance history to work out who wrote the prophecy and why somebody else is responsible for the global chaos, but when Ally is framed for the murder of a rival historian she’s forced to rely on Gabrielle, a ditsy millennial prepper, and Antoine, a secretive aristocrat, to help her solve the mystery and save the world. 🌍💥

What pulled me in: Tony Moyle delivers a wickedly clever dual-timeline thriller that’s equal parts The Da Vinci Code and Good Omens. This genre-bending gem combines Renaissance intrigue with modern apocalyptic tension, all wrapped in genuinely funny dark comedy. 🎪 The premise alone—a con artist meeting Nostradamus in prison and deciding prophecy is more profitable than petty crime—is brilliant. Moyle’s sarcastic heroine Ally Oldfield is refreshingly cynical, making her the perfect guide through this time-hopping mystery. Perfect for readers who loved The Thirteenth Tale or Christopher Moore’s historical comedies, this is smart, witty entertainment that doesn’t take itself too seriously while still delivering genuine thrills and historical richness. 📚✨

Historical Regency Romance

“How did you find me?”
“There is nothing I can’t find if I want it badly enough.” 💎🔥

The Duchess of Sutherland has not seen her husband ever since their wedding day, two years ago. Now, she decides, it’s finally time to live on her own, and forget about him altogether. 👰

It’s been two years since Devlin, the Duke of Sutherford, was forced to get married. Convinced that his wife was better off alone than with a monster like him, he has been living as a recluse away from London ever since. Until he learns that Theresa left their home, forever… 🏰💔

Now, certain that this his only chance at saving his marriage, Devlin must do something he never does: beg for forgiveness. But as much as Theresa enjoys the sight of a Duke on his knees for her, trusting him again will take much, much more than that. Even if the mere sight of him sets her insides on fire… 🔥😍

If you like a realistic yet steamy depiction of the Regency and Victorian era, then The Duke’s Unwanted Temptation is the novel for you. ✨

The appeal: Daphne Byrne launches her “Unwanted Wives” series with a deliciously angsty second-chance romance that flips the typical Regency script. Instead of a reluctant bride, we get a Duke who abandoned his wife on their wedding day (!) and now must grovel his way back into her good graces. 🙏 The power dynamic reversal—with Theresa holding all the cards while Devlin literally begs—offers wish-fulfillment for readers tired of pushovers. Byrne promises both historical authenticity and genuine heat, delivering the emotional depth of Tessa Dare with the slow-burn tension of Lisa Kleypas. The “tortured hero who thinks he’s a monster” trope never gets old when done right, and the two-year separation means these characters have real history and hurt to work through. Perfect for fans of estranged couples, groveling heroes, and Regency romance with bite. 💕👑

Historical Regency Fiction

Behind the doors of the magnificent Ashmore Castle, secrets are waiting to be uncovered . . . 🏰✨

England, 1903.

Giles, the Earl of Stainton, has fled from his stifling duties to resume his research in Egypt, leaving behind his wife Kitty, and his infant son. Kitty, still reeling from Giles’ sudden departure, struggles to keep spirits high in the castle and establish herself as the true mistress of the house, an impossible task given how many secrets the inhabitants are hiding from her… 💔👑

The Earl’s younger sisters, Rachel and Alice, are both pursuing forbidden romances, and his brother Richard begins a new business venture, spurred on by his clandestine lover. And below stairs, a shocking crime sends distrust rippling through the staff, more so when one of their own is accused. 🔍⚡

Christian Ethics

Most Christians are asking the wrong questions about money—and it’s keeping them stuck. 💰✝️

John Cortines and Gregory Baumer met as Harvard MBA candidates in a men’s Bible study and stopped asking “How much should I give?” and started asking “How much do I need to keep?” 🎓💡 With their top-notch education and rising careers, Cortines and Baumer were guaranteed comfort and security for the rest of their lives. However, when their plans for saving and spending collided with God’s purposes for extravagant generosity, they were each compelled to make a life-changing decision that challenges the values held by mainstream America and many Christian commentators. Cortines and Baumer show not only how to radically give but explain how to do so responsibly. 💪

Dive into the story and get equipped with the practical personal finance tools to:

✅ Easily set budgets for spending
✅ Wisely steward your money
✅ Prepare and save for your future—home ownership, retirement, higher education, etc.
✅ Know what the Bible says about money, tithing, and faith
✅ Discern when to give and when not to give

Why this one stands out: This isn’t your typical Christian finance book telling you to get out of debt and tithe 10%. Cortines and Baumer—both Harvard MBAs with serious earning potential—flip the script entirely by asking the more radical question: not “how much should I give?” but “how much do I actually need to keep?” 🔄 That paradigm shift challenges American prosperity gospel and consumer Christianity at their core. The authors bring financial sophistication to their generosity theology, offering practical tools alongside spiritual conviction. This bridges the gap between books like Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger (prophetic but light on practical advice) and The Total Money Makeover (practical but not radically generous). Perfect for high-earners wrestling with wealth, young professionals starting careers, or any Christian tired of feel-good money advice that never challenges the status quo. Cortines and Baumer prove you can be financially wise AND radically generous—and show you exactly how to do both. 💎📖

Individual Philosophers

The New York Times bestselling author of The Geography of Bliss and The Geography of Genius embarks on a rollicking intellectual journey, following in the footsteps of history’s greatest thinkers and showing us how each—from Epicurus to Gandhi, Thoreau to Beauvoir—offers practical and spiritual lessons for today’s unsettled times. 🚂💭

We turn to philosophy for the same reasons we travel: to see the world from a dif­ferent perspective, to unearth hidden beauty, and to find new ways of being. We want to learn how to embrace wonder. Face regrets. Sustain hope. ✨

In The Socrates Express, Eric Weiner combines his twin passions for philosophy and travel in a globe-trotting pil­grimage that uncovers surprising life lessons from great thinkers around the world, from Rousseau to Nietzsche, Confucius to Simone Weil. 🌍 Traveling by train (the most thoughtful mode of transport), he journeys thousands of miles, making stops in Athens, Delhi, Wyoming, Coney Island, Frankfurt, and points in between to recon­nect with philosophy’s original purpose: teaching us how to lead wiser, more meaningful lives. 🛤️

From Socrates and ancient Athens to Beauvoir and 20th-century Paris, Weiner’s chosen philosophers and places provide important practical and spiritual lessons as we navigate today’s chaotic times. 📚🗺️

Why you’ll love this: Eric Weiner is that rare writer who makes philosophy accessible, funny, and genuinely useful for everyday life. A former NPR correspondent, he brings journalistic curiosity and self-deprecating humor to weighty subjects—think Bill Bryson meets Alain de Botton. 🎙️ The Socrates Express is philosophy as travel narrative, making abstract concepts concrete by visiting the actual places these thinkers lived and worked. Weiner doesn’t just explain what Thoreau believed; he goes to Walden Pond and sits there, wrestling with solitude in the age of smartphones. The train journey framing device is brilliant—trains force us to slow down, observe, and think, exactly what philosophy demands. This is the antidote to self-help platitudes, offering genuine wisdom from Epicurus on pleasure, Schopenhauer on suffering, and Beauvoir on freedom. Perfect for readers who loved How to Live by Sarah Bakewell or Ryan Holiday’s Stoicism books, but want more range, humor, and wanderlust. Philosophy has never been this fun—or this relevant. 🌟📖
