The Lost and Found Bookshop by Susan Wiggs: In this thought-provoking, wise and emotionally rich novel, New York Times bestselling author Susan Wiggs explores the meaning of happiness, trust, and faith in oneself as she asks the question, "If you had to start over, what would you do and who would you be?"
"A wonderful exploration of the past and the future and, most importantly, of what it means to be present in the here and now. Full of the love of words, the love of family, and the love of falling in love, The Lost and Found Bookshop is a big-hearted gem of a novel that will satisfy and entertain readers from all walks of life. Lovely!"
—Garth Stein, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Racing In The Rain

Survivor Song by Paul Tremblay: A riveting novel of suspense and terror from the Bram Stoker award-winning author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts.
"Tremblay has earned worldwide acclaim because he is able to seamlessly combine reality with speculative elements, and his newest may be his most prescient yet…. Gorgeously written about terrible things, the relatively short Survivor Song is a good choice for fans of pandemic epics …and novels that probe themes of friendship, family, and social commentary amidst chillingly realistic horror."

Memorial Drive by Natasha Trethewey: A chillingly personal and exquisitely wrought memoir of a daughter reckoning with the brutal murder of her mother at the hands of her former stepfather, and the moving, intimate story of a poet coming into her own in the wake of a tragedy.
"Through finely honed, evermore harrowing memories, dreams, visions, and musings, Trethewey maps the inexorable path to her mother’s murder…. Trethewey writes, 'To survive trauma, one must be able to tell a story about it.' And tell her tragic story she does in this lyrical, courageous, and resounding remembrance."
