Romance
OVER THE MOON AT THE BIG LIZARD DINER by Lisa Wingate Welcome to Big Lizard Bottoms, home of the famed Lover's Oak, where matrimony is a local industry, where you can get hitched, book a float trip down the river, or both. Not exactly an ideal vacation destination for a play-it- safe paleontologist who has sworn off romance. But Lindsey Attwood isn't on vacation. She's here on a covert mission to help recover dinosaur tracks stolen from a local guest ranch. If she has to pose as a horse psychology
patient and make nice with the local rancher to do it, she can handle that, can't she? more
Non-Fiction book
THE DEVIL'S TEETH by Susan Casey Travel thirty miles north, south, or east of San Francisco city hall and you'll be engulfed in a landscape of thick traffic, fast enterprise, and six-dollar cappuccinos. Venture thirty miles due west, however, and you will find yourself on what is virtually another planet: a spooky cluster of rocky islands called the Farallones, battered by foul weather, thronged with two hundred thousand seabirds, and surrounded by the largest great white sharks in the world. more
Mystery book
GARDEN OF BEASTS by Jeffery Deaver Paul Schumann, a German American living in New York City in 1936, is a mobster hitman known as much for his brilliant tactics as for taking only "righteous" assignments. But then Paul gets caught. And the arresting officer offers him a stark choice: prison or covert government service. Paul is asked to pose as a journalist covering the summer Olympics taking place in Berlin. He's to hunt down and kill Reinhard Ernst--the ruthless architect of Hitler's clandestine rearmament. If successful, Paul will be pardoned and given the financial means to go legit; if he refuses the job, his fate will be Sing Sing and the electric chair. more
Good News book
BRYSON CITY TALES by Walt Larimore, M.D. The little mountain hamlet of Bryson City, North Carolina, offers more than dazzling vistas. For Walt Larimore, a young "flatlander" physician setting up his first practice, the town presents its peculiar challenges as well. With the winsomeness of a James Herriott book, "Bryson City Tales" sweeps you into a world of colorful characters, the texture of Smoky Mountain life, and the warmth, humor, quirks, and struggles of a small country town. It's a world where the family doctor is also the emergency physician, the coroner, and the obstetrician, and where wilderness medicine is part of the job, search- and-rescue calls in the national forest are a way of life, and the next patient just may be somebody's livestock or pet. more
Fiction
THE SECRET LIVES OF FORTUNATE WIVES
by Sarah Strohmeyer Pampered Hunting Hills, Ohio, socialite Marti Denton never realized she was madly in love with John Harding until he impulsively married Claire Stark, a beautiful but socially awkward newspaper reporter to whom a "coming-out" party is a controversy, not a tradition. It's not until the Hunting Hills wives are plunged into a series of explosive scandals that the two women reach a new understanding of each other and what it means to be a fortunate wife in the twenty-first century. In "The Secret Lives of Fortunate Wives," Sarah Strohmeyer has written a "Stepford Wives" for our time---funny, wise, and eye-opening more
Science Fiction book
LANDSCAPES by Kevin J. Anderson Though best-selling author Kevin J. Anderson is best known for his epic science fiction novels such as "Hidden Empire," "Dune: House Atreides" (with Brian Herbert), and "Star Wars: Jedi Search," he has regularly stretched his literary muscles with short stories. This collection of twenty-two tales and two essays displays the range of his imagination, from science fiction to fantasy to horror; from alien landscapes in the far future to cutting-edge technological developments that could happen tomorrow. The first five stories take readers to parallel universes next door, on expeditions for Alternitech. Other tales put a humorous twist on classic fantasy scenarios of kissing frogs and slaying dragons. Readers will see cloned mammoths, the dark side of early Hollywood, attorneys wrestling with the legalities of time paradoxes, and backpackers on an alien planet. more
Self Help Book
Creating Miracles: A Practical Guide to Divine Intervention by Carolyn Miller. In Creating Miracles, Carolyn Miller explores miracles in people’s lives. In over 50 accounts of real experiences, she describes how ordinary people spontaneously entered altered states of consciousness and positively affected sometimes life-threatening events. Drawing on her scientific background as an experimental psychologist, she analyzes the common patterns in these situations as well as the skepticism with which these stories might be received. Part one of Creating Miracles spotlights "ordinary" miracles, where average people respond to extraordinary circumstances. Part two explains how to create the personal conditions that are needed for a miracle to occur. Miller shows the importance of being able to tap into intuition (the inner divine guide) as well as disarming the ego in bringing a person into a state of miracle readiness. A handy "Things to Think About" section at the end of each chapter highlights the chapter’s most important points. more
