Under the Skin  by  Michel Faber

The Devourer by Alison Aimes

A short story by Jim Held aloft by the craggy cliffs of Stroma, I stand lost, raging at the Pentland gale. Stoic, yet distraught and bitter, pointless fist raised, I curse the gods of the cold grey sea. In claiming you, they’ve taken everything. I have nothing more to give. No stake to play. There are no trades yet to be transacted.

The Women by Kristin Hannah "When you think war hero, you’re probably not envisioning someone wielding a stethoscope. Medical personnel putting themselves in harm’s way are often the unsung heroes of such conflicts, especially combat nurses. Kristin Hannah honors them in a novel featuring Frances “Frankie” McGrath—a naïve, idealistic woman from a moneyed family of military heroes, who signs up to serve in Vietnam.

James by Percival Everett "With the same fiery wit, snap, and energy of his previous work, Percival Everett brings to life a retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, as told from the perspective of Jim. When he is threatened to be sold off and separated from his wife and daughter, Jim decides to run away to buy time while he hatches a plan.
