Others come only for the weekends, and the mix between the regulars and “the weekenders” can sometimes make the sparks fly. Riley Griggs has a season of good times with friends and family ahead of her on Belle Isle when things take an unexpected turn. While waiting for her husband to arrive on the ferry one Friday, Riley is confronted by a process server who thrusts papers into her hand, and her husband is nowhere to be found. When she turns to her island friends for help and support, it turns out that each has their own secrets, and the mystery she’s enveloped in deepens in a murderous way. Riley must find a way to investigate the secrets of Belle Isle and the husband she might not really know during the summer that could change everything. Told with humor and warmth, this is the perfect summer escape. Balogh, Mary Someone to Hold In this follow-up to “Someone to Love,” Miss Camille Westcott undertakes an emotional journey after leaving London in disgrace following the discovery of her aristocratic father's bigamy. Living with her grandmother and sister in Bath, the disenobled Camille is driven by an inexplicable need to see the orphanage that once housed her newly discovered (and legitimate) half sister, Anastasia. On impulse, she applies to be its resident teacher. Adding to her disconcerting new life is an initially thorny acquaintance with Joel Cunningham, a former orphanage resident-turned-portrait painter who volunteers there as an art instructor. Initially leery of each other because of Joel's affection for Anna, they learn that there is more to each other than they realized. As their attraction takes hold, Camille discovers how to engage with the family she has always had but kept at an emotional distance. Balogh's unique skill in casting an unromantic woman as the heroine of a romance is on full display as she unwraps the layers of reserve and years of privilege that made Camille so formidable and forbidding in the earlier novel of this family series. Barclay, Linwood The Twenty Three It’s May 23, and the small town of Promise Falls finds itself in the midst of a full-blown catastrophe with dozens dead from a flu-like virus. An investigation quickly zeros in on mass poisoning from a tainted water supply. When a college student is murdered, Detective Barry Duckworth recognizes a killer’s handiwork from the unsolved homicides of two women in town. Suddenly, the strange events from the last month start to add up: bloody mannequins in car 23 of an abandoned Ferris wheel, a fiery out-of-control bus with 23 on the back, and 23 on the hoodie of a man accused of assault. The motive for hurting the people of this town points to the number 23 and working out why will bring Duckworth closer to death than ever before. Batuman, Elif The Idiot The year is 1995, and email is new when Selin, the daughter of Turkish immigrants, arrives for her freshman year at Harvard. She signs up for classes in subjects she has never heard of, befriends her charismatic and worldly Serbian classmate, Svetlana, and, almost by accident, begins corresponding with Ivan, an older mathematics student from Hungary. Selin may have barely spoken to Ivan, but with each email they exchange, the act of writing seems to take on new and increasingly mysterious meanings. At the end of the school year, Ivan goes to Budapest for the summer, and Selin heads to the Hungarian countryside, to teach English in a program run by one of Ivan's friends. On the way, she spends two weeks visiting Paris with Svetlana. Selin's summer in Europe does not resonate with anything she has previously heard about the typical experiences of American college students, or indeed of any other kinds of people. For Selin, this is a journey further inside herself: a coming to grips with the ineffable and exhilarating confusion of first love, and with the growing consciousness that she is doomed to become a writer. With emotional and intellectual sensitivity and mordant wit, Batuman dramatizes the uncertainty of life on the cusp of adulthood. This is a novel about not just discovering but inventing oneself. Berenson, Alex The Prisoner Evidence is mounting that someone high up in the CIA is doing the unthinkable — passing messages to ISIS and alerting them to planned operations. Finding out the mole's identity without alarming him will be very hard, and to accomplish it, John Wells will have to do something he thought he'd left behind forever. He will have to reassume his former identity as an Al Qaeda jihadi, get captured, and go undercover to befriend an ISIS prisoner in a secret Bulgarian prison. Many years before, Wells was the only American agent ever to penetrate Al Qaeda, but times have changed drastically. The terrorist organizations have multiplied: gotten bigger, crueler, more ambitious and powerful. Wells knows it may well be his death sentence, but there is no one else who can. Bohjalian, Chris The Sleepwalker When Annalee Ahlberg goes missing, her children fear the worst. Annalee is a sleepwalker whose affliction manifests in ways both bizarre and devastating. Once, she destroyed the hydrangeas in front of her Vermont home. More terrifying was the night her older daughter, Lianna, pulled her back from the precipice of the Gale River bridge. The morning of Annalee's disappearance, a search party combs the nearby woods. Annalee's husband, Warren, flies home from a business trip. Lianna is questioned by a young, hazel-eyed detective. And her little sister, Paige, takes to swimming the Gale River to look for clues. When the police discover a small swatch of fabric, a nightshirt, ripped and hanging from a tree branch, it seems certain Annalee is dead, but Gavin Rikert, the hazel-eyed detective, continues to stop by the Ahlbergs' Victorian home. As Lianna peels back the layers of mystery surrounding Annalee's disappearance, she finds herself drawn to Gavin, but she must ask herself: Why does the detective know so much about her mother? Why did Annalee leave her bed only when her father was away? And if she really died while sleepwalking, where is the body? Box, C.J. Vicious Circle In his 17th adventure, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett goes another 15 rounds with surviving members of the toxic Cates family. Joe has run into ex-everything Dave Farkus too many times in too many unsavory ways to expect any favors from him, so he's surprised when Farkus phones him from Stockman's Bar to say he's overheard a conversation about Joe and his family before he's abruptly cut off. Joe's concern turns to alarm when Farkus disappears, and his blood is curdled by the discoveries of dead Farkus and disconcertingly alive Dallas Cates, the disgraced rodeo star who ran off with Joe's daughter April, dumped her out of his truck, and ended up in the prison he's just been released from, hungry for vengeance for the deaths of his father and two brothers. County attorney Dulcie Schalk has no trouble linking Dallas to the dead man, but high-priced defense attorney Marcus Hand, now married to Joe's scheming, useless mother-in-law, Miss Vankueren, has even less trouble getting the charges dropped, leaving Dallas and his two miscreant hirelings free to roam the trails of Ten Sleep County, virtually immune from prosecution, as they ponder new ways to menace the Picketts. Can Joe gather enough evidence to neutralize Dallas before the charismatic sociopath, whose paralyzed mother, Brenda, is the queen bee of the Wyoming Department of Corrections' Women's Center, neutralizes Joe and his whole family? Clark, Mary Higgins The Sleeping Beauty Killer Television producer Laurie Moran puts everything on the line to help Casey Carter who was convicted of murdering her fiancé, famed philanthropist Hunter Raleigh III, 15 years ago. Casey claims — has always claimed — she's innocent. Although she was charged and served out her sentence in prison, she is still living under suspicion. She hears whispers at the grocery store; she can't get a job; even her own mother treats her like she's guilty. When her story attracts the attention of Laurie and the Under Suspicion news team, it's Casey's last chance to finally clear her name. Then Laurie’s producers introduce a new on-air host named Ryan Nichols, a young legal whiz with a Harvard Law degree, Supreme Court clerkship, experience as a federal prosecutor, and regular stints on the cable news circuit. He's got a big reputation and the attitude to match. Ryan has no problems with steering and stealing the show, and even tries to stop Laurie from taking on Casey's case, because he's so certain she's guilty. An egomaniacal new co- host, a relentless gossip columnist who seems to have all the dirt (and a surprising informant), and Casey's longstanding bad reputation: Laurie must face this and more to do what she believes is right. Cline, Ernest Ready Player One It's the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place. Life on earth is bleak and sinister, thanks to a complete failure to avert global warming and the oil crisis. Like most of humanity, Wade Watts, an impoverished high school student who calls a vertically stacked trailer park home, lives primarily online, alongside billions of others spending his waking hours logged into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be — a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets.

  • A Spatial History of English Novels 1680-1770
    A Spatial History of English Novels 1680-1770 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mary Jo Crone-Romanovski, M. A. English The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Roxann Wheeler, Advisor Frank Donoghue David Brewer Copyright by Mary Jo Crone-Romanovski 2010 Abstract This dissertation provides a spatial history of English novels in the period 1680- 1770. Demonstrating that space is a dynamic source of narrative, I argue that spaces are crucial to the development of new types of novels. Re-organizing novel history according to space allows me to consider eighteenth-century novel types as standalone genres rather than progressive steps toward the formation of the novel as one single, coherent genre. Thus, a spatial history of novels differs from conventional literary histories which situate major novels and authors within a linear model of chronological development and that view eighteenth-century novels as preliminary formal experiments that eventually contribute to the emergence of the nineteenth-century realist novel. Space can register in novels in a number of ways, including geographical distance, topographical location, descriptors of movement, or architectural layout. My study considers, in particular, the spaces that constitute a character‟s immediate physical environment. Each chapter examines a key space as central to a type of novel that flourished during the eighteenth century: gardens in amatory and pious novels, 1680- 1730; staircases, hallways, and closets in the domestic interior in courtship novels of the 1740s; urban homes in mid-century problem marriage novels; and sickrooms in women‟s sentimental novels of the 1750s and 1760s.

In centuries past, a brother and sister are orphaned in an isolated outport cove on Newfoundland’s northern coastline. Their home is a stretch of rocky shore governed by the feral ocean and a relentless pendulum of abundance and murderous scarcity. Still children with only the barest notion of the outside world, they have nothing but their family’s boat and the little knowledge passed on haphazardly by their mother and father to help them survive. Muddling through the severe round of the seasons, through years of meagre catches and storms and ravaging illness, it is their fierce loyalty to each other that motivates and sustains them. But as seasons pass and they wade deeper into the mystery of their own natures, even that loyalty will be tested. ‘A gripping and credible page-turner about children surviving in the wilderness, but more than that: this Adam and Eve struggle to make sense of a world that’s somewhere between Eden and Hell.

    Tucson Chapter Volume 16, Number 2 www.TucsonBNC.org February 2017 Book & Author’s Fourth Writer Carries on Father’s Best-Seller Legacy When a car bomb kills a young man in the Ship Rock (N.M.) High School parking lot, Navajo Tribal Police Officer Bernadette Manuelito discovers that the intended victim was a mediator for a multi-million-dollar development planned at the Grand Canyon. However, what seems like an act of ecoterrorism turns out to be something far more nefarious and complex. Piecing together the clues, she and her husband, Sergeant Jim Chee, uncover a scheme to disrupt the negotiations and inflame tensions between the Hopi and Dine tribes in the forthcoming Song of the Lion. Anne Hillerman, a former nonfiction author and journalist, is the fourth author to accept an invitation to the 21st Annual Book & Author Events. Song of the Lion continues the adventures of the beloved characters created by her late father, the best-selling author Tony Hillerman, whose 18 novels featured Chee and Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn. His daughter has added a feminine touch as a new crime-solver, Bernadette, is now on the job as well. Anne Hillerman’s debut work, Spider Woman’s Daughter, received the Spur Award from Western Writers of America for the Best First Novel of 2013. In her second, Rock with Wings, two separate cases bring Chee and Manuelito back from a much-needed vacation and separate them. His, near Ship Rock, involves a missing woman and a cold-blooded thug. The other, at iconic Monument Valley, has her managing the fallout from a drug bust gone wrong.

  • A Leighton Year
    A Leighton Year The following are extracts from some of the letters I’ve received from Rodney Leighton over a period of time. Where possible they are in chronological order. Why am I putting them out to a wider audience? Because I feel that Rodney’s often sharp insight and dry humour has been missing from fanzines – mainly due to his lack of technological facilities (ie, connectivity at his location and a lack of computer equipment) and like the man himself says later, there are times when he feels he doesn’t have the motivation to write. So here are some little windows into the Leighton World. He may never get around to doing the next issue of The Leighton Look, a review and comment zine akin to Mike Gunderloy’s Factsheet Five, but at least he now has a little bit of a web presence. Rodney Leighton, #11 Branch Road, R.R. #3, Tatamagouch, Nova Scotia, B0K 1V0, CANADA (undated extract) Wilderness by Robert B. Parker. Intriguing book. The Susan-like character is sort of a bitch in the first part of the book; plot is rather silly but it is an interesting book. I think I will keep it to possibly read again someday. Everville by Clive Barker. This is a fantastic book, no pun intended. It’s not a fast read or that easy to read but I really enjoyed it. The concept of dreams being real and being able to dream things and people into reality is cool; the concept of the story being real and having to be told no matter what is, of course, an analogy for fate but I like it.
