New Releases This Month

By Marian Keyes
$26.95

Keyes delivers a dizzying vertical view of the mismatched, mixed-up tenants of Dublin's 66 Star Street, friends and lovers who grow up, grow old and give way to their heart currents with help from a puckish sprite. This multitiered saga of Dubliners searching for the brightest star in the sky... the planet of love straddles slapstick and sophistication in an engaging balancing act both giddy and grand.

Driftless (Paperback)

By David Rhodes
$16.00

Winner of the Milkweed National Fiction Prize, Driftless, came out in paperback in 2009. It's one of the best books I've read in a long time. I got it from a friend and it sat in a stack until Sunday afternoon. I found myself setting aside time so I could read it and finished it last night. Our store book group should read it. The author wrote 3 books in the 70's and was in a motorcycle accident and is paralyzed from the chest down. This is his first book in 30 years. It was worth the wait!
