Whew, it’s hot out here! Take a break from the boardwalk and chill in the AC for a while. We have a great lineup waiting for you at the movie theater: survival tips for the absolute worst possible disasters in the Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Apocalypse, a look at more than two dozen of the greatest sports films of all time in Movies with Balls, and a tale of BFFs and demonic possession wrapped up in 80s Beaches nostalgia. (P.S., in addition to the book, that last one is an actual movie you can watch!)

Take yourself on a ferris wheel date. You can always take your friend or partner, but these reads are just for you! Sit back, relax, and see the sights. From this height you may see Mr. Darcy in an entirely new light in The Darcy Myth, see the dangers of social media in Such a Bad Influence, and embark on the queer sci-fi romance of your dreams in Stars, Hide Your Fires.

Take a break from the beach and visit the sideshow, featuring our titles with creatures both cute and strange! Let possums give you advice in When in Doubt, Play Dead: Life Advice from an Unexpected Source, discover which cryptid inhabits which US state in The United States of Cryptids, and more.

Your holiday shopping is done and you’re ready to wrap it up—almost! If you’re still looking for stocking stuffers, try these reads.

These books make for great White Elephant gifts for anyone—especially the opossum and cat lovers in your life!
