If traveling for the holiday this year, you can stop by the library and pick up one of the new CDs to listen to, it helps make the road trip shorter. Just a couple of them we have are:
Jodi Picoult’s newest “The Book of Two Ways.” Everything changes in a single moment for Dawn Edelstein. She's on a plane when the flight attendant makes an announcement: prepare for a crash landing. She braces herself as thoughts flash through her mind. The shocking thing is, the thoughts are not of her husband, but a man she last saw fifteen years ago; Wyatt Armstrong. Dawn, miraculously, survives the crash, but so do all the doubts that have suddenly been raised. After the crash, the airline offers free transportation to wherever she wants to go. Does she go home to her husband and daughter or to Egypt, where Wyatt is? Is fate offerings her a second chance?
James Patterson’s newest “The Coast-to-Coast Murders” Michael and Megan Fitzgerald are siblings who share a terrifying past. Both adopted, and now grown, they trust each other before anyone else. They've had to. Their parents are public intellectuals, an Ivy League clinical psychologist and a renowned psychiatrist, and they brought up their adopted children in a rarefied, experimental environment. It sheltered them from the world's harsh realities, but it also forced secrets upon them, secrets they keep at all costs. In Los Angeles, Detective Garrett Dobbs and FBI Agent Jessica Gimble have joined forces to work a murder that seems like a dead cinch. Their chief suspect is quickly identified and apprehended, but then there's another killing just like the one they've been investigating, and another. And not just in Los Angeles, the spree spreads across the country. The Fitzgerald family comes to the investigators' attention, but Dobbs and Gimble are at a loss, if one of the four is involved, which Fitzgerald might it be?
If you are into non-fiction you might want to try, Bill O’Reilly’s, “Killing Crazy Horse: the Merciless Indian Wars in America.” The bloody Battle of Tippecanoe was only the beginning. It's 1811 and President James Madison has ordered the destruction of Shawnee warrior chief Tecumseh's alliance of tribes in the Great Lakes region. But while General William Henry Harrison would win this fight, the armed conflict between Native Americans and the newly formed United States would rage on for decades. Bestselling authors Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard venture through the fraught history of the country's founding on already occupied lands, from General Andrew Jackson's brutal battles with the Creek Nation to President James Monroe's epic 'sea to shining sea' policy, to President Martin Van Buren's cruel enforcement of a 'treaty' that forced the Cherokee Nation out of their homelands along what would be called the Trail of Tears. O'Reilly and Dugard take listeners behind the legends to reveal never-before-told historical moments in the fascinating creation story of America.
