The 10th anniversary hardcover edition of the galvanizing New York Times bestseller The Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes—executive producer of Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte, and more—features updates and exclusive new chapters that show how saying YES (and continuing to say YES) can transform your life.

In 2015, Shonda Rhimes, the trailblazing creative force behind some of television’s most beloved series, took on a challenge that would change her life forever. She challenged herself to say “yes” to everything for a year, and the results were nothing short of transformative. Hailed as “honest, raw, and revelatory” (The Washington Post) and “as fun to read as Rhimes’s TV series are to watch” (Los Angeles Times), Year of Yes quickly became a New York Times bestseller, captivating thousands with its candid and compelling narrative.

Now, in the 10th anniversary edition of Year of Yes, Shonda revisits this pivotal year with fresh insights and exclusive new material, including a new introduction and a bonus chapter.

With humor and honesty, Shonda’s story encourages readers to step out of their own comfort zones and embrace new opportunities. A self-proclaimed introvert who often said “no,” Shonda’s year of yes was transformational—and yet entirely relatable. This wildly candid and compulsively readable book reveals how the mega-talented Shonda Rhimes achieved badassery worthy of a Shondaland character. And how you can, too.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn and television pioneer Shonda Rhimes comes a powerful and romantic novel of Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte and King George III's great love story and how it sparked a societal shift, inspired by the original series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, created by Shondaland for Netflix.

“We are one crown. His weight is mine, and mine is his…”

In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours.

Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she needed, because George had secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court… all the while guarding her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. Above all she must learn to rule, and to understand that she has been given the power to remake society. She must fight—for herself, for her husband, and for all her new subjects who look to her for guidance and grace. For she will never be just Charlotte again. She must instead fulfill her destiny… as Queen.

Okay, so maybe I shouldn’t have broken into their house.

Maybe I shouldn’t have made myself at home and eaten through enough food for two people in twenty minutes.

But after being lost for half the day, I was hungry. And I needed their electricity to charge my phone so I could use the GPS to make it back to my car.

So, I did what I had to do. Besides, it didn’t look like anyone was home. I’d be gone in thirty minutes, tops. And I’d leave a note apologizing about the broken window.

Except, that food knocked me out. And when I woke up it was with a gun to my forehead and three unnecessarily attractive men staring down at me.

Naturally, I expect them to want answers and kick me out. But instead I end up with a proposition I can't refuse

In this spicy emotional sports romance, a WNBA star must decide:
Should she blow the whistle on her relationship?

Atlanta Cannons star Courtney Bradford should be soaring after a winning season. However, off the court, things are falling short. Courtney loves her gorgeous fiery wife, but the passion that brought them together is no longer enough and feelings of a lack of appreciation are taking a toll.
 
Sasha Adams-Bradford gave up her life as an exotic dancer to become a doting housewife. But she hadn’t expected the woman she loves would be on the road more than she’s home. Sasha’s loneliness turns into retail therapy, adding strain to their already tenuous marriage.
 
When an injury forces Courtney to sit out the European League, Sasha finally has the one thing she’s longed for. But is it a case of “be careful what you wish for”?

If they can learn to listen to each other and work as a team, the time together could be the rebound they need.
 
After all, they’re playing for the greatest prize there is…

In The Disordered Cosmos, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein shares her love for physics, from the Standard Model of Particle Physics and what lies beyond it, to the physics of melanin in skin, to the latest theories of dark matter -- all with a new spin informed by history, politics, and the wisdom of Star Trek.

A fresh, charming, socially conscious tour of the mysteries of space-time, from the award-winning author of The Disordered Cosmos

In her highly acclaimed debut, distinguished cosmologist and particle physicist Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein shared with her audience an abiding sense of wonder at the cosmos, while imagining a world without the entrenched injustice that plagues her field. Now, in The Edge of Space-Time, she embraces that cosmic wonder, taking readers on a mind-altering journey to the boundaries of the universe, inviting us to spend time at the edge of what we know about space-time and about ourselves.

Guided by her conviction that for humanity to go forward we must know our cosmic past, Prescod-Weinstein renders accessible some of the most abstract concepts of theoretical physics and draws on poetry and popular culture—from Queen Latifah to Lewis Carroll to Big K.R.I.T. to Sun Ra and Star Trek— to tell fascinating stories about the fundamental quantum nature of space-time and everything inside of it. Here we meet the quantum cat that is both dead and alive, learn the difference between dark matter and dark energy, explore the inner workings of black holes, investigate the possibility of a unified theory of quantum gravity, and map out the meeting place of the unimaginably vast with the confoundingly small, following our guide out to the far reaches of the particle horizon and down to the tiniest (and queerest) neutrino. Prescod-Weinstein shows us how spending time with the cosmos is a vital human activity that enriches all our lives. Along the way, she calls on us to resist colonial approaches to space exploration and instead imagine a better path forward in our pursuit of humanity’s undeniable connection with the stars.

Through Prescod-Weinstein’s clear-eyed and unique perspective, and informed by her deep knowledge of post-colonial history and Black feminist thought, The Edge of Space-Time argues that physics is an essential way for everyone to look at the universe and presents a compelling case that “the edge” is a powerful vantage point from which to see the big picture.

Francesca Palmer, one half of the chart-topping country music duo Whiskey Wild, has built her life on the road and in the spotlight. But when she discovers her boyfriend has been cheating, her world is turned upside down. Craving peace and clarity, Francesca retreats to her quaint hometown of Hume, Tennessee, where she hopes to find solace and rediscover herself away from the pressures of fame.
Edison Birch spent his entire life in Hume, running the local plant nursery alongside his sister. Known for his steady nature and deep connection to the town, Edison has long accepted that love might not be in the cards for him. That is, until Francesca, the girl he secretly adored in high school, returns to town, bringing a spark of excitement and possibility back into his quiet life.
When the two reconnect, their old friendship blossoms into something neither of them expected, igniting a chemistry that feels both natural and electric. As Francesca and Edison navigate their deepening relationship, the realities of her life in the public eye loom large. Francesca is torn between the career she’s worked so hard to build and the love she’s found with Edison. Meanwhile, Edison wrestles with the fear of losing the woman who’s become his heart’s greatest hope. With their worlds so vastly different, they must decide if the love they’ve found is strong enough to bridge the gap—or if it’s destined to be a bittersweet memory of a summer in Hume.

Publisher’s Note: This special edition of Love You a Little Bit includes exclusive bonus content not featured in the original release.

Welcome to the Hidden District, where justice is cooked low and slow, and revenge is always plated hot.
Cassandra Boucher, known as Zandra to the few she trusts, was born with a sharp mind, a sharper blade, and a past built on silence. Raised between secrets and survival, she now operates inside a covert society hidden beneath everyday life. A place known only as Hidden District.
Founded by Jean'Vieve DuBois, a woman who traded protest signs for battle plans, Hidden District quietly operates from Los Angeles to New Orleans, extending along the I-95 corridor into the Bronx and Harlem, protecting those failed by the system, forgotten by justice, and erased by red lines.
Zandra wears many coats. One belongs to a celebrated chef. The other is stitched with blood. Her clients don't book reservations. They beg for salvation. Whether exposing a corrupt official or avenging the murder of her best friend's son, Zandra blends in, strikes hard, and disappears without a trace.
But when betrayal begins spreading through the Hidden District itself, Zandra is drawn into a deadly collision of family secrets, generational trauma, and a conspiracy designed to dismantle Hidden District from the inside out, erasing everything Jean'Vieve built. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Power protects itself. And when her enemies can't destroy Zandra, they target the people she loves instead.
Hidden District is a razor-sharp psychological thriller where food is weaponry, loyalty has a price, and sisterhood can become its deadliest battlefield. Blending dark humor, emotional depth, and unforgettable characters, it invites readers into a world where survival is strategy, trust is a liability, and justice is cooked low and slow.

The second book in the Hunt the Red Hood duology from bestselling author B.B. Reid.
