Join us for storytime every Thursday morning at 10:30am. We will be reading the following titles during November:

The Boy in the Snow by M.J. McGrath (The Viking Press, hardcover, $25.95)

Highly recommended for fans of Dana Stabenow's Kate Shugak series. An interesting view of the life of Inuits even farther north than Alaska. Another strong heroine who has a troubled past but tries to do what she can to make things right. I will definitely read the first book in the series, White Heat, to learn more about what drives Edie Kiglatuk. A December 2012 Indie Next pick.

-Recommended by Nancy, store volunteer 

Scorched by Laura Griffin (Pocket, paperback, $7.99)

I think this is the best book in Griffin's Tracers series. The pace is extremely fast, and the new characters are enjoyable in their lack of perfection. The plot of domestic terrorism and politics is far too believable. Any fan of Laura Griffin or romantic suspense will completely enjoy this book.

-Recommended by Jackie, store volunteer

The Dark Winter by David Mark (Blue Rider Press, hardcover, $25.95)

The Cove by Ron Rash (Ecco, paperback, $14.99)

Superstition and prejudice can destroy lives, as illustrated in The Cove. The residents of Mars Hill are convinced that Laurel Shelton is a witch and want nothing to do with her. Her handicapped brother strives to win the approval of his fiancée's father. When a mute stranger named Walter comes into their lives, the siblings hope for positive change, but Walter harbors a volatile secret that endangers them all. The power of Ron's work is that although the plot may be dark, his central character is not: Laurel is a beacon of light in the darkness of the cove and a world confronting the tragedies of world war for the first time. A December 2012 Indie Next pick.

-Recommended by Kathleen Perry, store employee,

and Jill Hendrix, store owner 

Ruins by Orson Scott Card (Simon Pulse, hardcover, $18.99)

After reading Pathfinder, the first book in Orson Scott Card's YA series, it immediately became one of my favorite books. Ruins, the sequel, is just as captivating. Rigg continues his journey with his fellow time-shifters to find out what really happened to the planet Garden at the beginning of its civilization, in order to try to forestall its ending. With Card's masterful handling of moral dilemmas, this is a book that fans of all ages can jump into, and it's a great way to get younger fans interested in the genius of sci-fi storytelling.

-Recommended by Melissa Oates, store employee 

The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani (Harper, hardcover, $26.99, *Signed First Editions Available*)

When Ciro and Enza first meet as teenagers in Italy, they are each in the process of dealing with acute heartbreak. Circumstances conspire to keep them apart, but they each end up searching for a better life in America, without knowing that the other is there. They never forget each other, and their chance encounters over the years leave indelible imprints on their hearts. Filled with vivid descriptions of life in the early 20th century, The Shoemaker's Wife paints a portrait of the immigrant experience that so many readers can relate to in their own family history. 

-Recommended by Nancy Rechtman, store employee

The Shadow Society by Marie Rutkoski (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, hardcover, $17.99)

Darcy Jones was abandoned at age 5. She remembers nothing of her past, but as she works on a high school art project she begins drawing fantastical versions of Chicago's skyline that somehow seem familiar. Soon she's drawn into an alternate universe where humans and her kind -- Shades -- are at war, and she's in love with the enemy. I loved this high-octane read and recommend it to fans of The Hunger Games and I Am Number Four. A Fall 2012 Kids' Indie Next pick.

-Recommended by Jill Hendrix, store owner 

Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver (HarperCollins, hardcover, $28.99)

Dellarobia Turnbow is so hungry for a better life that she is willing to throw away the one she has and leaves. But before she reaches her destination, she comes upon a vision so beautiful and mysterious that she takes it as a sign to turn back -- millions of Monarch butterflies have inexplicably migrated to a mountainside in Tennessee instead of Mexico. While experts and fundamentalists clash over the meaning of this phenomenon, Dellarobia gains valuable insight about herself and those she loves. Readers can easily relate to the well-developed characters, even to those with whom they may disagree. I highly recommend this thought-provoking and timely novel for longtime Kingsolver fans, as well as first-time readers. A November 2012 Indie Next pick.

-Recommended by Kathleen Perry, store employee 

Every Day by David Levithan (Alfred A. Knopf, hardcover, $16.99)

A wakes up in a different body every day, temporarily taking over that person's life and following one rule: try not to mess anything up. Until the day A wakes up in Justin's body and meets Justin's girlfriend, Rhiannon -- then A breaks the self-imposed rule, wanting nothing more than to be with Rhiannon and try to make her see past the changing bodies to the person inside who loves her. A unique, wonderfully written love story that addresses what love really is and what it takes to make it work. A Fall 2012 Kids' Indie Next pick.

-Recommended by Melissa Oates, store employee 

Crewel by Gennifer Albin (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, hardcover, $17.99)

During mandatory school testing, 16-year-old Adelice's long-hidden talent is discovered and her life changes in an instant. She's violently ripped away from her family and trained how to weave time with matter, a skill the government needs to maintain order on Arras. This fast-moving novel can be read on several levels and would be great for a YA bookclub discussion group.

-Recommended by Jill Hendrix, store owner 

The Future of Us by Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler (Razorbill, paperback, $9.99)

Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick (Sarah Crichton Books, paperback, $15.00)

Pat Peoples, the endearing narrator of this touching and funny debut, is down on his luck. The former high school teacher has just been released from a mental institution and placed in the care of his mother. Not one to be discouraged, Pat believes he has only been on the inside for a few months -- rather than four years -- and plans on reconciling with his estranged wife. Refusing to accept that their apart time is actually a permanent separation, Pat spends his days and nights feverishly trying to become the man she had always desired.
