Hello didong, If this week's recommended books were a 'choose your own adventure' series, you'd have to pick your setting (a waterworld, glamorous Hollywood, or 1940s London); your main character (a vampire, an 11-year-old boy, or a young woman); and your mission (save the planet, rescue your muse, or set history's timeline right). Although you can't choose how these stories unfold, they all promise plenty of intrigue and excitement. And the best thing? You can find out the outcomes in the books I've listed below. 🌎 William Kuehne's space opera Pord: A World of Water is set on Planet Pord, a waterworld with only a few isolated islands standing above sea level. The Conglomerate, an intergalactic organization, is determined to take control of the planet and siphon off the water to other worlds in need, thereby destroying the planet's incredible ecosystem. Can Pord's disparate population join together to defend their home? Pord explores the complexities of politics, culture, and sustainability, but it's the novel's wildly imaginative worldbuilding that will captivate readers. ⏳ Partners in Time by Nicholas Hodgson is an energetic adventure filled with time travel, mystery, and snappy dialogue between lovable characters. 11-year-old Harry is living on the streets of London in WWII Britain when he discovers a secret door inside the British Museum. The door takes him to present day New Zealand where he meets Jett, and the two become fast friends. But their meeting has accidentally changed the past and the future, and they must quickly find a way to set history right. Back to the Future meets Night at the Museum in this fun-filled romp through time! 🧛♂️ R. N. Jayne returns with Captive, the penultimate book in her Master series. Gabriel Colin gets himself into deep trouble when his Hollywood co-star Raiden disappears, kidnapped by his unhinged vampire-maker Justus. Gabriel must work with Raiden's mysterious ex-fiancée to free his co-star and muse before it's too late. This is a hypnotic continuation of the dark, glitzy, and disturbing world that Jayne has created. If you don't mind the trigger warnings, you're in for a magnificent ride. Finally, don't miss Ken Guidroz's Letters to My Son in Prison — a moving, introspective memoir about forgiveness, redemption, and faith. It's the story of a father who reevaluates what it means to be a parent, husband, and pastor as he reconnects with his incarcerated son through letters. Happy reading! P.S.
