Claudia’s glance is sharp. “Look. Unless the rescue chopper comes in to get you, there aren’t any options. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather the rescue guys spent their time on real emergencies.”
Lien nods. But on the inside she thinks, This is a real emergency.
Lien’s not used to being stuck indoors in the middle of nowhere with no Internet and no one to sympathize with her about the lack of Internet. She’s not comfortable with silence. She doesn't need alone time. More than that, she’s not comfortable imposing on Claudia, who clearly prefers her own company to Lien’s. Lien might find Claudia reserved and brilliant and unmistakably hot, but it’s hard to imagine talking with Claudia about fashion or club music, whether studded cuffs are coming back for queer kids, whether indie music is a real genre. And what else does Lien have to say?

“Lunch With the Do-Nothings at the Tammy Dinette” by Killian B. Brewer
“…the point of the story is laughter, and Brewer shows a wicked facility with the pratfalls and plain speaking of the steel magnolias at the book’s heart.” —Publishers Weekly
The
diner took up a quarter of the city block; its silvery siding glimmered in the
morning sun. A metal bracket jutted over the diner door and held a bright neon
sign that flashed The Tammy Dinette:
Stand By your Ham and Eggs. Below the sign, two tall and wide single-paned
windows showed the bustle of the crowd inside. Marcus could see that most of
the booths along the windows were occupied, and a tall redheaded waitress stood
next to one of the booths furiously scribbling on a pad and nodding her head.“Let’s
go,” Skeet said as he hopped to the door and yanked it open. He swept his arm
across his body and said in a terrible British accent, “After you, my good
sir.”Summary
When Marcus Sumter, a short-order cook with dreams of being a chef, inherits a house in small town Marathon, Georgia, he leaves his big city life behind. Marcus intends to sell the house to finance his dreams, but a group of lovable busybodies called the Do-Nothings, a new job at the local diner, the Tammy Dinette, and a handsome mechanic named Hank cause Marcus to rethink his plans. Will he return to the life he knew or will he finally put down roots?

“Ah, there’s...
| Beneath the Stars | Lynn Charles
“Ah, there’s Aquila, Sid. To the east, can you see it? Do you need my glasses?”
Sid followed his dad’s pointed finger, but the lights in the sky remained muddied in his mind. The stars to the east remained as unknown as the stars to the west. Sid considered fibbing and thought better of it. He wanted to remember, in honor of everything his dad forgot. …
At Sid’s silence, Lou pressed. “Find the brightest star east of Polaris—what’s it called?”
“Do you remember, Baba?”
Lou lowered his binoculars. “Do I remember? You insult me.” …
“You forgot to put pants on this morning,” Sid said. “It’s a fair question.” He shot his dad a smile.
“Mmm. Pants are a nuisance when all you do is sit in the house,” Lou said, pointing further west. “Vega. Find Vega.”
Vega was easy. Sid scanned further east and grinned. “Over there? Altair. At Aquila’s neck?”
“Atta boy.”
“What’s Vega part of again?”
“Lyra, the harp. Twenty-six light-years away.”
Conversation stopped as Lou scanned the sky with his binoculars and then his naked eyes. As they sat, his dad unwound. His brow, highlighted with thick gray hair, unfurrowed; his shoulders relaxed; his voice eased from the pinched, tense rasp it had become into the smooth baritone that had comforted Sid time and again when he was a boy.

But when Ersel’s childhood friend and suitor catches them together, he gives Ersel a choice: say goodbye to Ragna or face justice at the hands of the glacier’s brutal king.
Determined to forge a different fate, Ersel seeks help from Loki. But such deals are never as one expects, and the outcome sees her exiled from the only home and protection she’s known. To save herself from perishing in the barren, underwater wasteland and be reunited with the human she’s come to love, Ersel must try to outsmart the God of Lies.
