 My favorite thing about Valentine's Day is that it means winter in the South is almost over :)
So come in and pick up something special for your Valentine, begin prepping for spring projects with a gardening book and, just in case winter has one last gasp for us, grab a recommended read to cozy up with or an adult coloring book to keep you busy!

 The Swans of Fifth Avenue by Melanie Benjamin
By all appearances, New York socialite Babe Paley has it all: money, beauty, glamour, jewels, influential friends, a prestigious husband, and gorgeous homes. But beneath this elegantly composed exterior dwells a passionate woman -- a woman desperately longing for true love and connection. Enter Truman Capote. Through Babe, Truman gains an unlikely entree into the enviable lives of Manhattan's elite, along with unparalleled access to the scandal and gossip of Babe's powerful circle. Sure of the loyalty of the man she calls "True Heart," Babe never imagines the destruction Truman will leave in his wake. But once a storyteller, always a storyteller -- even when the stories aren't his to tell.

Meanwhile, Sam and Emily's idyllic romance is under fire from a charismatic new girl in town, and Emily begins to question the loyalty of the person she thought she could trust most.

 The Photographer's Wife by Suzanne Joinson
A sweeping novel about a young girl who lives with her father in Jerusalem prior to the war. She is eleven and has an absurd amount of freedom, and with that comes the potential for disaster. We follow Prue through her marriage and the birth of her child. The focus of the book is the incredible way tragedies in childhood can impact your entire life. Parts of the novel are hard to read, but the brutality that exists in the world is brought to life by the author's words. A strong historical aspect, but the main story is that of Prue's life. For any fan of historical fiction based in war time.

 The Forgetting Time by Sharon Guskin
Janie is at her wit's end when it comes to dealing with Noah, her four-year-old son. Noah has odd moments and requests that make it seem like he's been living a different life, even though he's never spent a night away from Janie. In a last-ditch effort, Janie contacts Jerome Anderson, an expert on reincarnation, and things start to click. Noah just wants to go home, though no one knows where that is. For Janie, solving this mystery is the only way she can see of getting her life and her son back to normal. And for Anderson, who is in the clutches of a degenerative disease, this is his last chance to validate his life's work. An interesting foray into the supernatural wrapped in a page-turner of a mystery.
