The Coldness of Objects
by Panayotis Cacoyannis
BARGAIN
Literary/Dystopian
Rating: 4.4
Named to KIRKUS REVIEWS’ BEST BOOKS OF 2021
London 2030. When a postman knocks on his door, the news he delivers will cause 70-year-old Anthony Pablo Rubens to reflect on all the many sadnesses and joys of the past, while he begins to prepare for the surprises of the future. The past still revolves around the moment in the summer of 1984 when young Anthony first realized he had fallen in love.
The present is a Kafkaesque nightmare worse than Orwell’s 1984, “a hideous world where people don’t need to be watched by Big Brother.” It’s a world that Anthony has mostly shut his eyes to, but which suddenly he is forced to confront. And the future now encompasses the mystery, and excitement, and dread of a day as an exhibit at the National People’s Museum. #ad

Spring of Wonder
by Shalom Ashbel
NO LONGER FREE
Historical Fiction
Rating: 4.7
Just like the titular Spring of Wonder, Shalom Ashbel’s collection of folktales was kept hidden in the picturesque backdrop of his youth, surrounded by the oral storytellers and poets and of his home village in Yemen.
With drama and mystery, magic, miracles, and heroism, Ashbel faithfully recreates the stories that captured his imagination as a youth, with morals which transcend the boundaries of language, tradition, and religion. Stories where bravery and honesty defeat malice; Righteousness drives out greed; and honest faith is rewarded by good fortune. And at their base, kindhearted men and women face their adversities in the fantastical, strange, richly colored backdrop of middle eastern culture. #ad

It’s easy for us to dismiss idol worship as a thing of the ancient past. Long gone are the days of bowing down to some golden snake or half naked man-fish. Or are they? Today’s idolatry takes on many complicated forms, which we must acknowledge honestly, and turn from, if we want to recognize the greatness and wonder of the One True God.
Sooner or later, we all find ourselves clinging to something worthless in hopes that it will make our lives fulfilling. We clutch our addictions, desires, insecurities, sinful habits, and hurts, hoping that somehow they will make us who we are meant to be… #ad

Redeeming Christmas
by Kristen M. Fraser
BARGAIN
Christian Romance
Rating: 5.0
Christmas. It’s a bittersweet time of year for me. While I embrace the reason for the season, my heart weighs heavy with grief whenever the first strains of Jingle Bells hit the airwaves. All I want for Christmas this year is a secluded cabin, a good book, and a Do Not Disturb sign on the front door. I need time alone. Time away from happy families and holiday cheer. Away from flashing lights and endless carols. Away from work parties and all things holly and jolly.
The whole reason I’ve come to Hidden Valley Hideway is to avoid the hustle and bustle and to escape all things merry and bright. I just want to get through the holiday season without being reminded of everything I’ve lost. I want to forget about the dark cloud of grief that follows me everywhere, and refocus my heart on what truly matters. #ad
