 It was very disappointing when Sherman Alexie got sick and had to cancel his event with us. We're trying to reschedule him for the fall, but in the meantime we have booked several other big events we hope you'll enjoy: Actor/director Sean Patrick Flanery on July 16, Louise Penny on September 3rd, Eric Litwin on September 23rd (just booked!), and Charlaine Harris on October 4th. So please save the dates and help us start spreading the word!
-Jill
P.S. We've requested Nicholas Sparks (his new book releases October 4th) but since we just hosted him last year we may not get him again this year. We'll keep you posted once we know either way.

Pre-Order the New Harry Potter Book
|
 As I'm sure you've all heard by now, there's going to be a new Harry Potter book! Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts 1 & 2 is a new story that takes place nineteen years after Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The book is the script of a new play -- the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage -- that will premiere in London's West End on July 30th. It's based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter, and it isn't much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child releases on July 31st, but you can pre-order your copy today!

 The Weekenders by Mary Kay Andrews
The mix between the regulars and "the weekenders" on the idyllic island of Belle Isle, NC, can sometimes make the sparks fly. While waiting for her husband to arrive on the ferry one Friday afternoon, anticipating a season of good times with friends and family, Riley Griggs is instead confronted by a process server who thrusts papers into her hand -- and no husband. She turns to her island friends for help and support, but it turns out that each of them has their own secrets, and the clock is ticking as the mystery deepens...in a murderous way. Riley must find a way to investigate the secrets of Belle Island, the husband she might not really know, and the summer that could change everything.

 Sidney Chambers and the Dangers of Temptation by James Runcie
In the midst of all the change in the late 1960s, Sidney Chambers, the loveable English clergyman, continues his amateur sleuthing investigations. A bewitching divorcée enlists Sidney's help in convincing her son to leave a hippie commune at a soiree on Grantchester Meadows during May Week celebrations; a student is divested of a family heirloom; Amanda's marriage runs into trouble; Sidney and Hildegard holiday behind the Iron Curtain; Mrs. Maguire's husband returns from the dead; and an arson attack in Cambridge leads Sidney to uncover a cruel cast of blackmail involving his former curate. In the rare gaps between church and crime, Sidney struggles with a persistent case of toothache, has his first flutter at the Newmarket races, and witnesses the creation of a classic rock song. Charming, witty, intelligent, and filled with a strong sense of compassion, these six new stories are guaranteed to satisfy and delight this clerical detective's many fans.

 The City of Mirros by Justin Cronin
The Twelve have been destroyed and the terrifying hundred-year reign of darkness that descended upon the world has ended. The survivors are stepping outside their walls, determined to build society anew -- and daring to dream of a hopeful future. But far from them, in a dead metropolis, he waits: Zero. The First. Father of the Twelve. The anguish that shattered his human life haunts him, and the hatred spawned by his transformation burns bright. His fury will be quenched only when he destroys Amy -- humanity's only hope, the Girl from Nowhere who grew up to rise against him. One last time light and dark will clash, and at last Amy and her friends will know their fate.

 Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge by Paul Krueger
Bailey Chen is fresh out of college with all the usual new-adult demons: no cash, no job offers, and an awkward relationship with Zane, the old friend she kinda-sorta hooked up with during high school. But when Zane introduces Bailey to his monster-fighting bartender friends, her demons become a lot more literal. It turns out evil creatures stalk the city streets after hours, and they can only be hunted with the help of magically-mixed cocktails: vodka grants super-strength, whiskey offers the power of telekinesis, and tequila lets its drinker fire blasts of elemental energy. But will all of these powers be enough for Bailey to halt a mysterious rash of gruesome deaths? And what will she do when the safety of a "real world" job beckons?

 The Second Life of Nick Mason by Steve Hamilton
Nick Mason isn't a good guy. He is a thief who ended up in prison when one of his partners freaked out during a robbery and killed someone. But he isn't a bad guy either. He took the rap and never ratted out his best friend or the jerk who got him in the mess he found himself in. He was a good family guy when he got talked in to one last job, and more than anything else he would love to have his family back. When he is offered the chance to be free after only 5 years he can't refuse, but he soon finds himself anything but free. His life is now owned by a bad guy who is truly bad. Thus begins the second life of Nick Mason. This was a great read -- Nick is one of the most interesting protagonists I have encountered in quite awhile, and I can't wait to read more of how he balances working for a bad guy and trying to stay alive and out of prison, while at the same time trying to atone for his sins of the past.
