Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert
For fans of: The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory and The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
Talia Hibbert, one of contemporary romance’s brightest new stars, delivers a witty, hilarious romantic comedy about a woman who’s tired of being "boring" and recruits her mysterious, sexy neighbor to help her get a life—perfect for fans of Sally Thorne.
"Will readers giggle at the cuteness of the banter and weep at the emotional truths…? Absolutely. Is this book what the word 'charming' was invented for? Probably. This interracial romance with a disabled heroine is an #OwnVoices treat that will satisfy readers who love a cinnamon-roll hero and love scenes that scorch the dang pages."

The Andromeda Evolution by Michael Crichton and Daniel H. Wilson
Also from the author: Dragon Teeth and Pirate Latitudes
Fifty years after The Andromeda Strain made Michael Crichton a household name—and spawned a new genre, the technothriller—the threat returns, in a gripping sequel that is terrifyingly realistic and resonant.
"The story’s premise (the justification for the existence of this sequel) is rigorously developed, and the story deftly blends science, suspense, and character interaction in a way that will be familiar to Crichton’s fans…. Oh, and the glorious final-sentence cliff-hanger is just beautiful. In every way, this is a wonderful sequel to a classic novel, written in the spirit of Crichton but in Wilson’s own powerful voice. Terrific."

Looking Ahead: Reading Suggestions for December
Africaville by Jeffrey Colvin
For fans of: Washington Black by Esi Edugyan and
The Twelve Tribes of Hattie by Ayana Mathis
A ferociously talented writer makes his stunning debut with this richly woven tapestry, set in a small Nova Scotia town settled by former slaves, that depicts several generations of one family bound together and torn apart by blood, faith, time, and fate.
"Colvin’s intriguing and memorable debut shines a light on a little-known black experience: the freed slaves from the Caribbean and U.S. who established a community in Canada in the 1800s…. this is a penetrating, fresh look at the indomitable spirit of black pioneers and their descendants."

For fans of: Dead Man Running by Steve Hamilton and
The Bishop's Pawn by Steve Berry
A pulse-pounding, page-turning thriller involving corruption, secrets, and lies at the very deepest levels of government and media.
"The Network offers a superb blend of a political, speculative, and action thriller. Lynne Constantine manages this delicate balancing act with a skill and aplomb that is both a throwback to Robert Ludlum and testament to Dan Brown. The kind of tale Alfred Hitchcock would have loved to adapt and thriller lovers are certain to devour."
