Featuring: The Other Typist
by Suzanne Rindell
This debut novel begins as an enjoyable story of a young
woman who is a typist in a New York City police precinct in the 1920s, but her
life is suddenly interrupted by the dramatic introduction of a new typist who
changes everything.
Featuring: Doll Bones by
Holly Black
Three friends take a journey to bury a haunted object and
along with it, perhaps, their shared make-believe world. But hopefully not.
Because what’s scarier than a possessed china doll? Being a grownup. Shudder.
Featuring: One Last Thing Before
I Go by Jonathan Tropper
Previous book This
is Where I Leave You available at GRCC

over for years, his ex-wife is getting remarried, his career as a drummer is long past, his 18-year-old daughter is pregnant, and he has a
life-threatening heart condition, but the result is hilarious.
Featuring: Someone Could Get Hurt by Drew Magary
In Someone Could Get Hurt, Magary reflects on his own parenting
experiences to explore the anxiety, rationalizations, compromises, and
overpowering love that come with raising children in contemporary America.
Featuring: Sisterland by
Curtis Sittenfeld
Twin sisters Kate and Violet have the ability to foresee
future events; when Violet publicly predicts a devastating earthquake, Kate
struggles with her discomfort over their abilities.
