“Becky Jack is a typical Mormon housewife until
she stumbles into an unlikely, platonic friendship with handsome Hollywood actor Felix Callahan. This modern
fairytale poses the question of what happens when your secret celebrity
crush starts to mix with your ordinary, happy home life. This was a delightful
read and gave me hope for a friendship with George Clooney!” Avery. Regularly $14, our price $11.20.
 The Books of Elsewhere, Vol. 1: The Shadows (Hardcover)$13.59 ISBN-13: 9780803734401Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Dial, 06/01/2010 “It’s not long after Olive moves into her new house that she realizes something isn’t quite right. The paintings, in which she can see hints of movement, are cemented to the walls, and a trio of mysterious cats slinks around in the shadows. When she finds an old pair of spectacles that allow her to enter the paintings, Olive decides to uncover the secrets of the old house and to save its inhabitants from a growing darkness. Fun, well-written and adventurous, this is a great summer read for kids.” Amanda. Regularly $16.99; our price $13.59.  Cheap (Paperback)$12.80 ISBN-13: 9780143117636Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Penguin (Non-Classics), 06/01/2010 "Shell's perspective on less obvious negative effects of big box proliferation is a fascinating report on the genesis and impact of our obsession with what we believe is more for less. Her history of discounting shows just how long consumers have been manipulated, with studies of the effect of bargains on our brains proving the methods, while real value declines with the loss of durable products and viable economic models. The chapters on IKEA and outlet malls will make most readers flinch and hopefully lead to more conscious spending choices." Carla. Regularly $16; our price $12.80.  The Dead of Winter (Paperback)$12.00 ISBN-13: 9780143117247Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Penguin (Non-Classics), 06/01/2010 “Airth has brought to life a wonderful couple, slightly remininscent of Dorothy Sayers’ Wimseys in their devoted egalitarian relationship, but with greater challenges and psychological nuance. Ex-Scotland Yard detective John Madden has retired to his farm, but is drawn back into a case related to the wartime events on the continent. Stolen jewels, murders on both sides of the Channel – from a Polish refugee employed by Madden to a Jewish furrier years before - are related in this complex and satisfying outing.” Carla. Regularly $15; our price $12.  Lit: A Memoir (Paperback)$11.99 ISBN-13: 9780060596996Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Harper Perennial, 07/01/2010 “Everyone who loved The Liars Club - the groundbreaking very personal memoir every reader found a way to identify with - will be thrilled with this new entry. From leaving Texas at 17 for the California surf, in and out of her marriage to an unconsciously unbelievably privileged man, to her writing and teaching career, Karr tells her story with prose that only a poet could write. Karr’s outlook and insights are informed by the same alcoholism that shaped her parents’ lives and deaths, but with the perspective of hard-won sobriety in the hands of such an accomplished writer, this book has absolutely universal appeal.” Carla. Regularly $14.99; our price $11.99.  The Magicians (Paperback)$12.80 ISBN-13: 9780452296299Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Plume, 06/01/2010 “Quentin Coldwater is a highly intelligent illusionist, adept at slight of hand and card tricks, a love-struck teen caught up in escapist fantasies of a mythical land. His droll existence is forever altered when he stumbles onto the magical campus of Brakebills, a quirky college for aspiring sorcerers. But even as Quentin slips into the uncertain life of a magician, his true potential remains unrealized until an old rival arrives with the ultimate proposition. A realist’s fantasy, The Magicians weaves a tantalizing tapestry of magic, raw emotion and the not-so-occasional whiff of alcohol.” Christian. Regularly $16; our price $12.80.  One Day (Paperback)$11.96 ISBN-13: 9780307474711Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Vintage, 06/01/2010 "A perfect summer love story, One Day took me by surprise. Told as snapshots of the relationship between Emma and Dexter on July 15 between 1988 and 2007, the novel follows this pair who, meeting on college graduation day, are unable to let go of that special something they see in each other. The dialogue is perfect, and Dexter has that Hugh Grant bad-boy-you-want-to-love quality. The book is smart and so very funny, wise and way too sad, and a perfectly believable portrait of the heartbreak of growing up. You will love Emma and Dexter." Leslie. Regularly $14.95; our price $11.96.  Private Life (Hardcover)$21.56 ISBN-13: 9781400040605Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Knopf, 05/01/2010 “Set in the late 1880’s and ending at the outbreak of WWII , Private Life chronicles the life of 27 year old Margaret Mayfield, the town’s old maid who is supposed to feel lucky when she weds Capt. Andrew Early, the town’s most famous man. Margaret slowly discovers that Andrew’s intelligence borders on obsession, and as both personal and national tragedies occur, Margaret is forced to reconsider the choices she has made. Smiley’s writing is beautiful, and she has perfectly captured both the national historical climate, and the intimate desires of a woman constricted by both the era and her own fears. The ending is startling, and leaves much to consider.” Leslie. Regularly $26.95; our price $21.56.  The Red Umbrella (Hardcover)$13.59 ISBN-13: 9780375861901Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Knopf Books for Young Readers, 05/01/2010 “It’s two years since the Communist Revolution in Cuba, but for 14-year old Lucia Alvarez life is as it always has been. She has her best friend Ivette, her crush on Manuel, and her upcoming quinces to keep her mind occupied. But her world changes drastically as the repercussions of the revolution begin to hit home. Her parents - beautifully drawn characters in and of themselves - make the decision to send Lucia and her brother Frankie to the United States as part of the historically accurate Operation Pedro Pan. Once there, Lucia must adapt to a life entirely different from the one she has known, and confront the realization that Cuba will never be the same again.” Amanda. Regularly $16.99; our price $13.59.  The Story Sisters (Paperback)$12.00 ISBN-13: 9780307405968Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Three Rivers Press, 06/01/2010 "Coming from a family of three sisters myself, I was intrigued when I first saw The Story Sisters. The book drew me in with its story of Elv, Meg and Claire who have created a secret world, called Arnelle, they can escape to. It is a fantastical coming-of-age story sprinkled with faeries, goblins and the demons that haunt the sisters in real life." Avery. Regularly $15; our price $12.  What Is Left the Daughter (Hardcover)$20.00 ISBN-13: 9780618735433Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 07/01/2010 "In a letter to his daughter on her 21st birthday, Wyatt Hillyer tells his intense life story, along with that of his parents, in elegant prose belying astonishing events. After his parents' almost simultaneous suicides as the result of a love triangle, the teenaged Wyatt falls hard for his lovely cousin Tilda, while she only has eyes for the mysterious German student Hans. In a tiny Nova Scotia village during WWII, suspicion and violence play out along with the passions of this intimate circle of rich, distinct characters you will not forget." Carla. Regularly $25; our price $20.  Zeitoun (Paperback)$12.76 ISBN-13: 9780307387943Availability: Usually Ships in 1-5 days Published: Vintage, 06/01/2010 “In the vein of What is the What, Eggers tells the true story of Abdulrahman Zeitoun and his family before, during and after Hurricane Katrina. Born in Syria, Zeitoun has built a life for himself in New Orleans. He has a burgeoning business and a beautiful family, but stands to lose both in Hurricane Katrina and the muddled storm of bureaucracy that follows. Eggers utilizes his particularly brilliant form of storytelling, and sweeps you into the danger, injustice and hope of Zeitoun’s story. Whatever feelings are conjured in you by the words ‘Hurricane Katrina,’ I can guarantee that they will be forever altered and strengthened after reading this account.” Amanda.
