We have a variety of new books ready for check out this week. If you like thrillers, we have several ready to go. In “Blood Moon” by Sandra Brown, an unruly detective and an ambitious TV show producer work against the clock to prevent another young woman from disappearing before the next blood moon—while trying to resist the attraction between them. Haven’s Rock is a sanctuary town hidden deep in the Yukon for those who need to disappear from the regular world. Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton, are starting a family now that they’ve settled into their life here. As Casey nears the end of her pregnancy, she lets nothing, including her worried husband, stop her from investigating what happens in the forbidden forest outside the town of Haven’s Rock as she hunts down a dangerous killer during a deadly blizzard in “Cold as Hell” by Kelley Armstrong. “Cross my Heart” by Megan Collins is a novel about a heart transplant patient who becomes romantically obsessed with her donor’s husband. “Small Things Like These” by Claire Keegan is a tale of one man’s courage and a remarkable portrait of love and family. This book was an Oprah’s Book Club Pick, a New York Time Book Club Pick, and was on several other bestseller lists, as well as being made into a motion picture. Lila Kennedy has a lot on her plate. A broken marriage, two wayward daughters, a house that is falling apart, and an elderly stepfather who seems to have quietly moved in. Her career is in freefall and her love life is . . . complicated. So, when her real dad—a man she has barely seen since he ran off to Hollywood thirty-five years ago—suddenly appears on her doorstep, it feels like the final straw. But it turns out even the family you thought you could never forgive might have something to teach you: about love, and what it actually means to be family in “We All Live Here” by JoJo Moyes. In “Three Days in June” by Anne Tyler a socially awkward mother of the bride navigates the days before and after her daughter’s wedding.

Moana 2 and Across the River & Into the Trees are a couple of movies ready for checkout this week.
