El recluso
McFadden, Freida, author.
When she starts her job as a nurse at a maximum-security prison, Brooke Sullivan quickly learns there are three crucial rules: 1. Treat prisoners with respect. 2. Never reveal personal information. 3. Never, ever be intimate with inmates. What no one knows is that Brooke has already broken the rules. No one knows about her close connection to Shane Nelson, one of the most dangerous inmates at the prison. They certainly don't know that Shane was Brooke's high school boyfriend, the star of the football team, the perfect guy now serving a life sentence for a series of gruesome murders. Or that it was Brooke's testimony that landed him there. But Shane knows. He knows more than anyone. And he'll never forget.....

¡Yo quiero dinero! [Financially lit] : la guía del éxito financiero para las mujeres latinas
Torres, Jannese, author.
A practical guide to financial literacy, money management, and becoming a poderosa with your dinero, tailored to a Latinx audience from the host of the Yo Quiero Dinero podcast. In many immigrant households, money isn't often a topic of discussion, so financial education can be minimal-especially when a family is just trying to survive the day-to-day. With a new generation of first-and-second generation kids who are perhaps the first in their households to go to college, or earn more than their parents or grandparents ever could, this new access to wealth can be confusing and the prevailing wisdom can be misleading, especially when it is not culturally sensitive. This book is tailor made for those who are ready to understand money better and do more with it; it offers a new generation of Latinx/e folks access to real financial literacy. While there are several resources that provide financial advice, data suggests, for certain topics, readers are more likely to trust an author who is familiar with their culture. By appealing to the vast Latinx/e community in the United States, Torres makes financial freedom accessible for an audience who's underrepresented in this space.....

Si te gusta la oscuridad
King, Stephen, 1947- author.
"'You like it darker? Fine, so do I,' writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life--both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to read. King writes to feel "the exhilaration of leaving ordinary day-to-day life behind," and in You Like It Darker, readers will feel that exhilaration too, again and again. King's ability to surprise, amaze, and bring us both terror and solace remains unsurpassed. Each of these stories holds its own thrills, joys, and mysteries; each feels iconic. You like it darker? You got it"--Publisher of English edition.....

Margo tiene problemas de dinero
Thorpe, Rufi, author.
As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, Margo Millet's always known she'd have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can't imagine how she'll ever make a living. She's still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor-and while the affair is brief, it isn't brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone's advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger. Now, at twenty, Margo is alone with an infant, unemployed, and on the verge of eviction. She needs a cash infusion-fast. When her estranged father, Jinx, shows up on her doorstep and asks to move in with her, she agrees in exchange for help with childcare. Then Margo begins to form a plan: she'll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, and soon finds herself adapting some of Jinx's advice from the world of wrestling. Like how to craft a compelling character and make your audience fall in love with you. Before she knows it, she's turned it into a runaway success. Could this be the answer to all of Margo's problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price? Blisteringly funny and filled with sharp insight, Margo's Got Money Troubles is a tender tale starring an endearing young heroine who's struggling to wrest money and power from a world that has little interest in giving it to her. It's a playful and honest examination of the art of storytelling and controlling your own narrative, and an empowering portrait of coming into your own, both online and off. ....
