A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas, 232 pages

 Feyre, Rhysand, and their friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly altered world beyond, recovering from the war that changed everything. But Winter Solstice is finally approaching, and with it, the joy of a hard-earned reprieve.


Yet even the festive atmosphere can't keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, her concern for those dearest to her deepens. They have more wounds than she anticipated-scars that will have a far-reaching impact on the future of their court.

Bridging the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin with the later books in the series, A Court of Frost and Starlight explores the far-reaching effects of a devastating war and the fierce love between friends.

What Follow True: Crescent Hotel by Sean Fitzgibbon, 232 pages

 The luxurious Crescent Hotel opened its doors in 1886, later falling on hard times. In 1937, the hotel was converted into a cancer clinic by Norman Baker, advertising he had the cure for cancer.

Located in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, the Crescent Hotel is considered one of the most haunted hotels in the U.S. However, the tragic years when it operated as a cancer hospital haunt the hotel far more than tales of specters.

What Follows Is True: Crescent Hotel blends oral histories, newspaper articles and Norman Baker's biography to examine this historical happening and yesteryear's monsters. Sean Fitzgibbon's fully painted graphic nonfiction utilizes atmospheric imagery that transports readers into the hotel's dark and bizarre past.

Are there instances of shape shifting in nature like in The Wolfman?
What is the science behind the night terrors that inspired the creation of Freddy Krueger?
Is there scientific data supporting ghost detection like the tools used in Poltergeist?

And so much more!
An approachable and frightfully fun examination of what goes bump in the night, The Science of Monsters will thrill every horror fan.

The Moffat Museum by Eleanor Estes, 232 pages

There has never been a museum in Cranbury...until now.
Among its treasures are the first bike each of the Moffat kids rode, stardust from a meteor that fell to earth, a beautiful painting made by Sylvie, and-most spectacularly-Rufus, the Waxworks Boy, who is as funny as he is waxy. The museum is so interesting that Mr. Pennypepper even brings tourists to visit.
But the museum is really for Jane, Joey, and Rufus themselves, so they can remember all the good times they've had. Because life is changing for the Moffats.
Yet even if Sylvie gets married, or Joey goes off to work, or Rufus grows up, one thing will never change: The Moffats are still the sort to hilariously fill even the most ordinary day with extraordinary fun.

Ultra: Seven Days, 232 pages

This was one of the best superhero graphic novels I've ever read. It's from the viewpoint of a female superhero, and it's interspersed with pages that look like advertisements, magazine covers and articles. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
