Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Wicked by Rebecca Johnpee. They call me “The Wicked”—a name carved from blood, silence, and the secrets I never speak. As the head of the Marino Family, I see everything. Lies. Weakness. Fear. I built an empire from the gutter up, surrounded by men who treated bullets like candy and loyalty like currency. I don’t flinch. I don’t forgive.
Then she walked in, and the ground shifted.
After a job goes sideways, The Wicked turns the tables, holding my crew hostage and forcing me into a dangerous alliance. To survive, I’ll have to work with the very devil who’s caged me. Together, we’ll attempt the most audacious heist I’ve ever imagined. But this isn’t just about money or power anymore. It’s about him.
And I’ll risk everything—my body, my soul, my crown—to claim what I want.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Thirst Trap by Grainne O'Hare. Harley, Róise, and Maggie have been inseparable since primary school, still clinging to each other through the chaos of early adulthood. Their nights are spent on sticky pub floors in Belfast, their days tangled in dead-end jobs, complicated crushes, and the kind of heartbreak that never quite fades.
Harley’s got a thing for their landlord and a stubborn dream of mastering the piano. Róise is falling for a colleague but haunted by a breakup that left her raw. Maggie’s pounding pavement in pursuit of a woman who only texts after midnight. And through it all, Lydia’s absence lingers—their friend lost too soon, her untouched bedroom a shrine to everything unsaid.
The girls are messy, loyal, and still learning how to live with grief, with each other, and with the weight of a fight that never got resolved. This is friendship at its most fragile and fierce.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Copywriter by Daniel Poppick. It’s the summer of 2017, and D__, a poet moonlighting as a copywriter at a retail start-up, feels the edges of his world fraying. His girlfriend is drifting away. The company’s new CEO is a charismatic twenty-four-year-old with more charm than experience. And the surreal aftershocks of the first year of the Trump era make everything feel slightly off-kilter, as if reality itself is beginning to dissolve.
In search of clarity, D__ starts a notebook. Inside it: dreams, fragments of memory, emails, and strange little stories he calls parables—snapshots of a life trying to make sense of itself. Over two years, through changing seasons and shifting moods, The Copywriter traces his attempt to reconcile art and labor, meaning and absurdity, ambition and collapse.
Set in the liminal space between the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic, this novel asks: What does it mean to be an artist in a world that commodifies everything? How do we survive jobs that drain us? And what happens to our souls when we trade creativity for a paycheck?
