Summary: 1867, Richmond, Virginia. Arabella wears the same low-cut purple gown that is the uniform of all the girls who work at Worsham's gambling parlor, yet she is set apart by her unyielding grit, and a resolve to escape her background of struggle and poverty. Collis Huntington, railroad baron and self-made multimillionaire, is married and thirty years her senior, yet flirtation rapidly escalates into an affair. With Collis's help, Arabella eventually moves to New York, posing as a genteel, well-to-do Southern widow. Using Collis's seed money and her own shrewd investing instincts, she begins to amass a fortune. Collis marries Arabella after his wife's death, but she must earn her place in Society. There are some who suspect the scandalous truth, and will blackmail her for it. -- adapted from back cover

Summary: In a kingdom divided by extraordinary powers and a strict caste system, Paedyn Gray, a young girl with no abilities, must hide her ordinary nature as she navigates a forbidden romance with a powerful prince and must participate in the perilous Purging Trials that could reveal her true identity. In the kingdom of Ilya, all were not fortunate enough to survive the Plague. Those who did possess power: they are the Elites. Those born Ordinary are just that: ordinary. Paedyn Gray's lack of an ability made her a felon by fate, and a thief by necessity when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished in order to preserve his Elite society. Having been trained by her father to be overly observant since she was a child, she poses as a Psychic in the crowded city. When she saves the life of an Ilyas prince, Paedyn is thrown into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition that exists to showcase the Elites' powers. If the Trials don't kill her, the prince will if he discovers she is Ordinary. - adapted from jacket

Summary: "Peter Godfrey-Smith is a leading philosopher of science. He is also a scuba diver whose underwater videos of warring octopuses have attracted wide notice. In this book, he brings his parallel careers together to tell a bold new story of how nature became aware of itself. Mammals and birds are widely seen as the smartest creatures on earth. But one other branch of the tree of life has also sprouted surprising intelligence: the cephalopods, consisting of the squid, the cuttlefish, and above all the octopus. New research shows that these marvelous creatures display remarkable gifts. What does it mean that intelligence on earth has evolved not once but twice? And that the mind of the octopus is nonetheless so different from our own? Combining science and philosophy with firsthand accounts of his cephalopod encounters, Godfrey-Smith shows how primitive organisms bobbing in the ocean began sending signals to each other and how these early forms of communication gave rise to the advanced nervous systems that permit cephalopods to change colors and human beings to speak. By tracing the problem of consciousness back to its roots and comparing the human brain to its most alien and perhaps most remarkable animal relative, Godfrey-Smith's Other Minds sheds new light on one of our most abiding mysteries."--Goodreads.com summary.
