The Shadow of Your Smile (Deep Haven )
Warren, Susan May (Author)

Sometimes love requires a little forgetting. A beautiful blanket of snow may cover the town of Deep Haven each winter, but it can’t quite hide the wreckage of Noelle and Eli Hueston’s marriage. After twenty-five years, they’re on the brink of divorce when an accident erases part of Noelle’s memory. Though her other injuries are minor, she doesn’t remember Eli, their children, or the tragedy that has ripped them apart. What’s more, Noelle is shocked that her life turned out nothing like she dreamed it would. What happened to her ambitions? Could she really be married to this grizzly man? As she steps back into her role as wife and mother, Eli attempts to help with both humorous and heartwarming results. But can she fall in love again with a man she can’t remember? Will the secrets she discovers destroy them . . . or has erasing the past give them a chance for the future?

The Gilder
Kay, Kathryn (Author)

Art restorer Marina Nesmith’s life seems flawless, but Marina is conscious of what she lacks–especially the courage to tell her teenage daughter, Zoe, the truth about her father. Then Marina is invited to return to Florence, where she learned her trade as a gilder years ago. Now, as past and present collide, Marina must find the life that she–and Zoe–have been looking for.

The Thirteen Hallows
Scott, Michael (Author), Freedman, Colette (Author)

They are the Hallows of Britain. They are 13 ancient treasures: mysterious, magical, infinitely powerful, with the potential for great good . . . or absolute evil. The 13 hallows survive, protected by hereditary Guardians who can trace their lineage back to the age of King Arthur and beyond. And now, someone is gathering them together.

Leviathan Wakes ( Expanse #1 )
Corey, James S a (Author)

Humanity has colonized the solar system. Jim Holden is XO of an ice miner making runs from the rings of Saturn to the mining stations of the Belt. When he and his crew stumble upon a derelict ship, “The Scopuli,” they find themselves in possession of a secret they never wanted.

Millennium People

Ballard, J G (Author)

When a bomb goes off at Heathrow Airport it looks like another random act of violence to psychologist David Markham. But then he discovers that his ex-wife Laura is among the victims. Following a police lead that suggests the explosion was not the work of a foreign terrorist, but instead a shadowy and ruthless group based in the comfortable Thameside estate of Chelsea Marina, Markham begins to infiltrate London’s fringe protest movement. Led by Richard Gould, a charismatic pediatrician turned cult leader, the clandestine group aims to rouse London s squeezed middle classes to anger and violence, to free them from both the self-imposed burdens of civic responsibility and the trappings of a consumer society: private schools, foreign nannies, health insurance, and overpriced housing. As widespread rioting erupts and England s capital city becomes a crucible of existential rage, frenzied English populous begins destroying the very symbols that define their middle-class status, setting fire to Volvos, destroying travel agencies, and smoke-bombing department stores. In an unnerving and prophetic ending that is so jarring it will resonate well beyond the confines of fiction, Millennium People becomes more than a novel; it becomes a shockingly plausible, deeply unsettling vision of society in collapse, one that, in the words of John Gray in the New Statesman, dissects the perverse psychology that links terrorists with their innocent victims.

Death by Killer Mop Doll ( Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery #2 )

Winston, Lois (Author)

Overdue bills and constant mother vs. mother-in-law battles at home are bad enough. But crafts editor Anastasia Pollack’s stress level is maxed out when she and her fellow American Woman editors get roped into unpaid gigs for a revamped morning TV show. Before the glue is dry on Anastasia’s mop dolls, morning TV turns crime drama when the studio is trashed and the producer is murdered. Former co-hosts Vince and Monica–sleazy D-list celebrities–stand out among a lengthy lineup of suspects, all furious over the show’s new format. And Anastasia has no clue her snooping has landed her directly in the killer’s unforgiving spotlight.
Also includes instructions for creating holiday-themed mop dolls!
