Prose & Cons
What fits the character of Dracula best, “Edgelord,” or “Wears: Invisalign”? Is Jay Gatsby more of a “Clout Chaser” or does he have a “Strong drip game”? Compete for the characters you know and love and show your literary prowess, with Prose & Cons: A Literary Card Game!Micki Myers’s Prose & Cons is a literary card game like Cards Against Humanity, Apples to Apples, and What Do You Meme - but this is suitable for all ages. Based on works of literature, both classic and contemporary, Prose & Cons players compete to describe characters from popular books in the most fitting-yet-funny way. The beauty of Prose & Cons is that it easily allows players to imagine their favorite characters inhabiting wholly different literary worlds or attributing to them new and witty personalities, skills, and characteristics, in a countless number of combinations. Simply take turns judging which description card (examples: Motto: Haters gonna hate, Slays, or Gaslighter) matches the round’s character card (Hamlet, Lizzie Bennet, or Peter Pan) best, and award the winner with said character card. The player with the most character cards at the end of the game wins. Perfect for any fan of books, movies, or pop culture, Prose & Cons will have players laughing and learning for hours of fun.

Delta Futures
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more.Delta Futures explores the competing visions of the future that are crowding into the Bengal Delta's imperiled present and vying for control of its ecologically vulnerable terrain. In Bangladesh's southwest, development programs that imagine the delta as a security threat unfold on the same ground as initiatives that frame the delta as a conservation zone and as projects that see the delta's rivers and ports as engines for industrial growth. Jason Cons explores how these competing futures are being brought to life: how they are experienced, understood, and contested by those who live and work in the delta, and the often surprising entanglements they engender—between dredgers and embankments, tigers and tiger prawns, fishermen and forest bandits, and more. These future visions produce the delta as a "climate frontier," a zone where opportunity, expropriation, and risk in the present are increasingly framed in relation to disparate visions of the delta's climate-affected future.

Prose and Cons
Young widow Bella Jordan investigates a mystery with a literary twist in this charming, magical small-town cozy mystery from New York Times bestseller Wendy Corsi Staub. It's been nine months since widowed mom Bella Jordan and her young son Max moved to Lily Dale, the quirky, close-knit New York community populated by people who can speak to the dead . . . if one believes in that kind of thing. Now she counts Valley View, the guesthouse she runs, as home and her psychic medium neighbors as friends. Even haughty, British Pandora, who used to own Valley View before her difficult divorce. So when Pandora sweeps in, requesting an urgent tete-a-tete, Bella expects it to be another complaint about book club. It isn't. Pandora airily reveals her elderly Auntie Eudora is taking a last-minute cruise from London to New York with her gentleman friend Nigel - and minutes later Bella is bemused to find she's agreed to host them at Valley View free of charge. Bella has enough on her plate: her son Max, their two kitties, a budding relationship with local vet Drew . . . not to mention this month's book club pick to read. But when she begins to have suspicions about one of her new guests, she's determined to uncover the truth for Pandora's sake - even if it kills her first.

Foes and Cons
Set in the convention world of the fictional show Vampire Falls, this is a story that celebrates the inclusivity of conventions, the passion of fandoms and meeting friends for life. Eliza and Charlie Chamberlain were best friends until he decided to abandon her and become the most popular (i.e., worst) guy in school. Now he can’t be within a five-meter radius of Eliza without taking the piss out of her Vampire Falls obsession. A TV show that he used to watch with her. Religiously. But Eliza can rejoice in her happy place: the annual Vampire Falls convention where she and superfan bestie, Roxy, can enjoy a weekend of guest Q&As and cosplay, safe from the judgement of others who just don’t understand their passion. Or that’s what she thinks, until guess-who shows up chaperoning his little sister. Not only that, but Eliza finds herself pitted against Charlie Chamberlain’s team in a once in a lifetime opportunity. Eliza and Roxy join forces with a feisty pensioner and a mysterious (possibly hot) guy in a werewolf costume to win the ultimate prize: an all-expenses paid trip to San Diego Comic Con. But with the stress of uni looming and the past rearing its ugly head, Eliza finds her sanctuary crumbling at every scheduled panel and themed party. Will Charlie Chamberlain ruin the one weekend Eliza lives for, or is that bubbling feeling in the pit of her stomach not actually hatred after all?
