The unlikely pair navigate the enclaves of desert-dwelling vagabonds and find that Arabella is in serious trouble-caught in the middle of a violent standoff that only Heist, mysteriously, can end.

Long Road to Mercy Long Road to Mercy by David Baldacci 

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Catch a tiger by its toe.

It's seared into Atlee Pine's memory: the kidnapper's chilling rhyme as he chose between six-year-old Atlee and her twin sister, Mercy. Mercy was taken. Atlee was spared. 

She never saw Mercy again.

Three decades after that terrifying night, Atlee Pine works for the FBI. She's the lone agent assigned to the Shattered Rock, Arizona resident agency, which is responsible for protecting the Grand Canyon. 

So when one of the Grand Canyon's mules is found stabbed to death at the bottom of the canyon-and its rider missing-Pine is called in to investigate. It soon seems clear the lost tourist had something more clandestine than sightseeing in mind. But just as Pine begins to put together clues pointing to a terrifying plot, she's abruptly called off the case.

If she disobeys direct orders by continuing to search for the missing man, it will mean the end of her career. But unless Pine keeps working the case and discovers the truth, it could spell the very end of democracy in America as we know it...

Unsheltered Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver 

Willa Knox has always prided herself on being the embodiment of responsibility for her family. Which is why it's so unnerving that she's arrived at middle age with nothing to show for her hard work and dedication but a stack of unpaid bills and an inherited brick home in Vineland, New Jersey, that is literally falling apart. The magazine where she worked has folded, and the college where her husband had tenure has closed. The dilapidated house is also home to her ailing and cantankerous Greek father-in-law and her two grown children: her stubborn, free-spirited daughter, Tig, and her dutiful debt-ridden, ivy educated son, Zeke, who has arrived with his unplanned baby in the wake of a life-shattering development.

In an act of desperation, Willa begins to investigate the history of her home, hoping that the local historical preservation society might take an interest and provide funding for its direly needed repairs. Through her research into Vineland's past and its creation as a Utopian community, she discovers a kindred spirit from the 1880s, Thatcher Greenwood.

A science teacher with a lifelong passion for honest investigation, Thatcher finds himself under siege in his community for telling the truth: his employer forbids him to speak of the exciting new theory recently published by Charles Darwin. Thatcher's friendships with a brilliant woman scientist and a renegade newspaper editor draw him into a vendetta with the town's most powerful men. At home, his new wife and status-conscious mother-in-law bristle at the risk of scandal, and dismiss his financial worries and the news that their elegant house is structurally unsound.

Brilliantly executed and compulsively readable,  Unsheltered is the story of two families, in two centuries, who live at the corner of Sixth and Plum, as they navigate the challenges of surviving a world in the throes of major cultural shifts. In this mesmerizing story told in alternating chapters, Willa and Thatcher come to realize that though the future is uncertain, even unnerving, shelter can be found in the bonds of kindred-whether family or friends-and in the strength of the human spirit.

Fire & Blood Fire & Blood by George R. R. Martin 

Centuries before the events of  A Game of Thrones,  House Targaryen-the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria-took up residence on Dragonstone.  Fire & Blood  begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart.

What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel's worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire,  but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed.

With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon's  The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,   Fire & Blood  is the the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.

Dark Winter Dark Winter by A. J. Tata 

By the time anyone realizes what's happening, it is too late. A dark network of hackers has infiltrated the computers of the U.S. military, unleashing chaos across the globe. U.S. missiles strike the wrong targets. Defense systems fail. Power grids shut down. Within hours, America's enemies move in. Russian tanks plow through northern Europe. Iranian troops invade Iraq. North Korean destroys Seoul and fires missiles at Japan.
 
Phase 1 of ComWar is complete.
 
Enter Jake Mahegan and his team of highly trained operatives. Their mission is to locate the nerve center of ComWar-aka Computer Optimized Warfare-and to shut down the operation through any means necessary. Mahegan knows it's a virtual suicide mission. There are three ComWar headquarters, each hidden deep underground in Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Each contains a human biometric nuclear key that the team must capture to shut down the imminent nuclear strikes. Splitting up the team is Mahegan's only chance to prevent the next wave of cyber attacks. But even that won't stop the sleeper cell agents-here in the United States . . .
 
When Phase 2 ends, World War III begins.

The Reckoning The Reckoning by John Grisham 

Pete Banning was Clanton's favorite son, a returning war hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, father, neighbor, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning in 1946. he rose early, drove into town, walked into the Church, and calmly shot and killed the Reverend Dexter Bell. As if the murder wasn't shocking enough, it was even more baffling that Pete's only statement about it-to the sheriff, to his defense attorney, to the judge, to his family and friends, and to the people of Clanton-was "I have nothing to say." And so the murder of the esteemed Reverend Bell became the most mysterious and unforgettable crime Ford County had ever known.

Becoming Becoming  
by  Michelle Obama

In a life filled with meaning and accomplishment, Michelle Obama has emerged as one of the most iconic and compelling women of our era. As First Lady of the United States of America-the first African American to serve in that role-she helped create the most welcoming and inclusive White House in history, while also establishing herself as a powerful advocate for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world, dramatically changing the ways that families pursue healthier and more active lives, and standing with her husband as he led America through some of its most harrowing moments. Along the way, she showed us a few dance moves, crushed Carpool Karaoke, and raised two down-to-earth daughters under an unforgiving media glare. 
 
In her memoir, a work of deep reflection and mesmerizing storytelling, Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her-from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the world's most famous address. With unerring honesty and lively wit, she describes her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private, telling her full story as she has lived it-in her own words and on her own terms. Warm, wise, and revelatory, Becoming  is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations-and whose story inspires us to do the same.

Then She Was Gone Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
If you are a fan of a psychological thriller this is the book for you. I was fascinated and horrified at this tale of the lengths people will go to for love. A vivid expanse of the fine line between severe mental illness and the ability to function in society. Anyone who meets a potential new partner will look at them with a jaundiced eye after reading this book. Simply riveting. -Jackie W., seconded by Nancy

Blood Sisters Blood Sisters by Jane Corry
Blood Sisters opens with a radio announcement that a murder has occurred at a men's prison, with details to come. Allison is leading a lonely single life barely making ends meet teaching art lessons when she sees an advertisement for a job teaching art in a men's prison and takes the job. She is guilt ridden and unhappy and we slowly discover why as the story of Allison and her younger half-sister Kitty is told in flashbacks from two points of view. Blood Sisters is a sad story of sibling rivalry, parents who don't always do the right thing, teen violence, and a childish prank all of which probably contributed to the tragedy which occurred when Kitty was 11 and Allison was a senior in high school, and which kept Allison so filled with guilt. We think we know what happened 15 years ago, and we think we know what just happened at the prison. But, as the story is slowly revealed we find that truths and lies become totally intertwined and what really happened both at the time of the accident and in the present at the prison is a total surprise.

The Wife Between Us The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks
The Wife Between Us is psychological suspense at its best. The writing is so convincing that you will naturally make certain assumptions. But, as the blurb for the book says you should assume absolutely nothing. I lost count of how many times I was totally surprised by what I thought I knew and even when the surprise ending was revealed there was still one last surprise. A story of love, deceit, betrayal and sickness--it is scary and troubling and stunning and amazing all rolled up into one of the best thrillers of the year.

Marilla of Green Gables Marilla of Green Gables by Sarah McCoy
Having never read Anne of Green Gables, I wasn't sure how I would react to this novel. My fears were assuaged when I immediately got hooked on the story. I can honestly say that I really liked it. Sarah McCoy does a great job establishing the characters and describing the small village of Avonlea, when Marilla and Matthew were much younger. You will feel like you are there as Marilla falls in love, loses loved ones, and faces heartbreak. McKoy also weaves in the bits of history: political unrest in Canada, the Underground Railroad, and the Civil War. A good read!

Prodigies -- people born with special powers -- have been separated into two groups, villains and Renegades. After being let down by the Renegades as a child, Nova has grown up as a villain. Adrian, on the other hand, is the adopted son of two of the Renegades founders, and he believes in heroism wholeheartedly. When Nova becomes a Renegade to spy on their inner workings, she and Adrian end up challenging each other's long-held beliefs about good and evil. Marissa Meyer writes superheroes just as well as sci-fi fairy tales. I'm so glad I have the Renegades to look forward to now that Cinder's story is over.

Greetings from Witness Protection Greetings from Witness Protection! by Jake Burt 
Nicki Demere was taught to steal by her father and grandmother, which may have something do with why she's still in the foster care system. But when she gets a visit from the US Marshals asking her to join a family of three in the Witness Protection program, she begins to think that maybe her failing could come in handy. As Charlotte Trevor, she takes her job of protecting her new mom, dad, and brother very seriously, but the hardest challenge of all turns out to be fitting in as a normal girl. This book is both funny and touching and will grab the attention of middle-grade readers who know what it's like to stick out while just wanting to fit in -- and who might want some adventure in their normal lives, maybe not realizing the danger that goes with it.
