HOME FIRE, by Kamila Shamsie
Isma is free. After years of watching out for her younger siblings in the wake of their mother’s death, she’s accepted an invitation from a mentor in America that allows her to resume a dream long deferred. But she can’t stop worrying about Aneeka, her beautiful, headstrong sister back in London, or their brother, Parvaiz, who’s disappeared in pursuit of his own dream, to prove himself to the dark legacy of the jihadist father he never knew. When he resurfaces half a globe away, Isma’s worst fears are confirmed.
Then Eamonn enters the sisters’ lives. Son of a powerful political figure, he has his own birthright to live up to—or defy. Is he to be a chance at love? The means of Parvaiz’s salvation? Suddenly, two families’ fates are inextricably, devastatingly entwined, in this searing novel that asks: What sacrifices will we make in the name of love?
REFUGE, by Dina Nayeri
An Iranian girl escapes to America as a child, but her father stays behind. Over twenty years, as she transforms from confused immigrant to overachieving Westerner to sophisticated European transplant, daughter and father know each other only from their visits: four crucial visits over two decades, each in a different international city. The longer they are apart, the more their lives diverge, but also the more each comes to need the other's wisdom and, ultimately, rescue.
Meanwhile, refugees of all nationalities are flowing into Europe under troubling conditions. Wanting to help, but also looking for a lost sense of home, our grown-up transplant finds herself quickly entranced by a world that is at once everything she has missed and nothing that she has ever known. Will her immersion in the lives of these new refugees allow her the grace to save her father?
BROKEN RIVER, by J. Robert Lennon
A modest house in upstate New York. One in the morning. Three people—a couple and their child—hurry out the door, but it’s too late for them. As the virtuosic and terrifying opening scene of Broken River unfolds, a spectral presence seems to be watching with cold and mysterious interest. Soon the house lies abandoned, and years later a new family moves in.
Karl, Eleanor, and their daughter, Irina, arrive from New York City in the wake of Karl’s infidelity to start anew. Karl tries to stabilize his flailing art career. Eleanor, a successful commercial novelist, eagerly pivots in a new creative direction. Meanwhile, twelve-year-old Irina becomes obsessed with the brutal murders that occurred in the house years earlier. And, secretly, so does her mother. Hovering over all this activity looms a gradually awakening narrative consciousness that watches these characters lie to themselves and each other, unleashing forces that none of them could have anticipated and that put them in mortal danger.
SOUTH POLE STATION, by Ashley Shelby
Unmoored by a recent family tragedy, Cooper Gosling’s adrift at thirty and—despite her early promise as a painter—on the verge of sinking her career. So she accepts her place in the National Science Foundation’s Artists & Writers Program and flees to Antarctica—where she encounters a group of misfits motivated by desires as ambiguous as her own. There’s Pearl, the Machiavellian cook with the Pollyanna attitude; Sal, an enigmatic astrophysicist whose experiment might change the world; and Tucker, the only uncloseted man on the continent, who, as station manager, casts a weary eye on all.
The only thing the Polies have in common is the conviction that they don’t belong anywhere else. Then a fringe scientist arrives, claiming climate change is a hoax. His presence will rattle this already imbalanced community, bringing Cooper and the Polies to the center of a global controversy and threatening the ancient ice chip they call home.
SPOONBENDERS, by Daryl Gregory
The Telemachus family is known for performing inexplicable feats on talk shows and late-night television. Teddy, a master conman, heads up a clan who possess gifts he only fakes: there's Maureen, who can astral project; Irene, the human lie detector; Frankie, gifted with telekinesis; and Buddy, the clairvoyant. But when, one night, the magic fails to materialize, the family withdraws to Chicago where they live in shame for years. Until: As they find themselves facing a troika of threats (CIA, mafia, unrelenting skeptic), Matty, grandson of the family patriarch, discovers a bit of the old Telemachus magic in himself. Now, they must put past obstacles behind them and unite like never before. But will it be enough to bring The Amazing Telemachus Family back to its amazing life?

FaZe Banks is Suing Jake Paul After Alleged False Accusations of Assault
Recap
- Jake Paul in his latest video accuses FaZe Banks of assaulting his assistant at a club, saying he allegedly choked her and was cheating on his girlfriend (who is Jake's ex) Alissa Violet
- FaZe says that a Team 10 member DM'd him about the assistant's bruise and said she knows it was an accident but they assume he may have hit her on accident at the club
- He gets his friends who were with him that night to back up his story and explain that they did not see him hit anyone and if he did, it was likely an accident
- They don't know who's in Team 10. Members of Team 10 approached them to hang out that night.
- His friend said that one of the members said "don't tell Jake we're hanging out with you and Banks".
- His friend said that the Team 10 members were trying to get Banks blackout drunk
- FaZe Banks says that he's never been this drunk before prior to that night and believes that the Team 10 members drugged his drink
- He believes that the reason why he's dragged into this drama is that he is dating Jake Paul's ex, Alissa Violet
- Alissa Violet admits that Jake has assaulted her several times and is very aggressive and says his exes have reached out to her (2-3 other girls) and also confirmed that they've experienced the same kind of abuse.
- At the end of the video, FaZe Banks says he is suing Jake Paul, his assistant, and the members of Team 10 who appeared in the alleged fake accusation video due to the defamation of character, slander, and libel they have caused him.
- In other news, Jake Paul's subscriber count is dropping due to his latest video!

"I been doing a lot of thinking lately. This morning, I woke up. I looked at the news, lots of things going on in the world and stuff,”

Jeremy Lindholm has been arrested, after being accused of attempting to murder his girlfriend because she would not go to the store and pick up Kool-Aid for him.
He reportedly grabbed a baseball bat and showed up at her job, violently assaulting her within view of surveillance cameras.
The woman told officers Lindholm said he wanted to kill her.
He told police his plan was not to hurt his girlfriend, but to force police to shoot him in front of her.
Lindholm is being held on $100,000 bail.
He faces charges of attempted second-degree murder, second degree-assault, and unlawful imprisonment-domestic violence.
A producer for Z Nation (another show he works for) said Lindholm would no longer be a part of the show if he was convicted.
