 Saturday, December 8th 12-2pm
Best-selling author Jon Land will be here singing copies of his newest Blaine McCracken thriller, Pandora's Temple.
Rogue special-operations agent McCracken has never been shy about answering the call, and this time it comes in the aftermath of a deepwater oil rig disaster that claims the life of a onetime member of his commando unit. The remnants of the rig and its missing crew lead him to the inescapable conclusion that one of the most mysterious and deadly forces in the universe is to blame: dark matter, both a limitless source of potential energy and an unimaginably destructive weapon. |

Great Reading Group Titles
The Par is Wife
Paula McLain (Ballantine Books)
"This beautifully written story captures that electric time, the 1920's in that electric city, Paris, through the eyes of Hadley Hemingway, Ernest Hemingway's first wife. While Hadley revea ls the strengths and, ultimately the weaknesses in her complex and fascinating marriage, readers are treated to a novel rich in detail and riddled with real-life characters who fascinate us all."

 Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
Ben Fountain (Ecco Press)
"Fountain has created a sort of inverted Odyssey in which our hero, Billy Lynn, comes home from the Iraq war to find a whole new catalog of trials and challenges awaiting him and the rest of Bravo Company before they are shipped back to the Gulf. Taking place on a single day, at a Thanksgiving football game in Dallas, the novel not only gives us a fresh take on how we view capitalism, materialism, ourselves, our country, and our military, but also provides a wonderfully empathetic tragic-hero in Billy Lynn, at once a brave and fearless fighting machine while still a very innocent and confused young man."
 Carry the One
Carol Anshaw (Simon & Schuster)
"Carmen and Matt's wedding was festive, full of dancing, drinking, and celebrating the joining of two lives. But for Carmen and Matt their wedding night would not be remembered solely with joy, but rather as the night a car full of their relatives and close friends headed out into the dark and accidentally killed a young girl on a lonely stretch of road. The occupants of that car and the wedding couple would be shackled by the guilt of that night for years to come. Carry the One examines the subtle shades of change this tragic accident causes in their lives. It is a compelling story of friendship, loss, betrayal, and life at its most real."

The Fisherman's Table:
Recipes Caught from the Newport Sea
by Laura Blackwell
We are happy to announce Rhode Island's new seafood cookbook - The Fisherman's Table. Its 120 pages detail creative ways to cook Aquidneck Island's local catch, from lobsters, to crabs, to fin-fish, to berries! Written with input from the Fishermen of Newport, it is packed with salty tricks and tips on how fishermen, the experts, prepare seafood! All recipes are trusted, tested and tasty, utilizing only main ingredients that can be harvested from the island or its waters.
About the author:
"Laura Blackwell lives, writes and harvests in Newport, RI. Her specialties are clams and berries, but she's been known to land a fish or two. One spring day she went searching for lobster on the State Pier and caught a handsome fisherman. They now cook their fresh catch together almost every night."
