KATRINA LENO: THE HALF LIFE OF MOLLY PIERCE
"The Half Life of Molly Pierce
is a suspenseful, evocative psychological mystery about uncovering the
secrets of our pasts, facing the unknowns of our futures, and accepting
our whole selves."
You take it for
granted. Waking up. Going to school, talking to your friends. Watching a
show on television or reading a book or going out to lunch. You
take for granted going to sleep at night, getting up the next day, and
remembering everything that happened to you before you closed your eyes. You live and you remember. Me, I live and I forget. But now—now I am remembering. For
all of her seventeen years, Molly feels like she’s missed bits and
pieces of her life. Now, she’s figuring out why. Now, she’s remembering
her own secrets. And in doing so, Molly uncovers the separate life she
seems to have led…and the love that she can’t let go. (goodreads.com)
RAINBOW ROWELL: LANDLINE
“Rowell is, as always, a fluent and enjoyable writer—the pages whip by.”—Publishers Weekly on Landline
Georgie McCool knows her
marriage is in trouble. That it’s been in trouble for a long time. She
still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but
that almost seems besides the point now. Maybe that was always besides the point. Two
days before they’re supposed to visit Neal’s family in Omaha for
Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can’t go. She’s a TV writer, and
something’s come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She
knows that Neal will be upset with her — Neal is always a little upset
with Georgie — but she doesn’t expect to him to pack up the kids and go
home without her. When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she’s finally done it. If she’s ruined everything. That
night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past.
It’s not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she’s been given
an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts . . . Is that what she’s supposed to do? Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened? (goodreads.com)

LAURIE FARIA STOLARZ: WELCOME TO THE DARK HOUSE
What’s your worst nightmare? For
Ivy Jensen, it’s the eyes of a killer that haunt her nights. For Parker
Bradley, it’s bloodthirsty sea serpents that slither in his dreams. And
for seven essay contestants, it’s their worst nightmares that win them
an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at director Justin Blake’s latest,
confidential project. Ivy doesn’t even like scary movies, but she’s
ready to face her real-world fears. Parker’s sympathetic words and
perfect smile help keep her spirits up. . . at least for now. Not
everyone is so charming, though. Horror-film fanatic Garth Vader wants
to stir up trouble. It’s bad enough he has to stay in the middle of
nowhere with this group—the girl who locks herself in her room;
the know-it-all roommate; “Mister Sensitive”; and the one who’s too
cheery for her own good. Someone has to make things interesting. Except,
things are already a little weird. The hostess is a serial-killer
look-alike, the dream-stealing Nightmare Elf is lurking about, and the
seventh member of the group is missing. By the time Ivy and Parker realize what’s really at stake, it’s too late to wake up and run. (goodreads.com)

between alternate realities—and the power to save multiple worlds."
Delancy Sullivan has
always known there’s more to reality than what people see. Every time
someone makes a choice, a new, parallel world branches off from the
existing one. Eating breakfast or skipping it, turning left instead of
right, sneaking out instead of staying in bed ~ all of these choices
create an alternate universe in which an echo self takes the road not
travelled and makes the opposite decision. As a Walker, someone who can
navigate between these worlds, Del’s job is to keep all of the
dimensions in harmony. Normally, Del can hear the dissonant
frequency that each world emits as clear as a bell. But when a training
session in an off-key world goes horribly wrong, she is forbidden from
Walking by the Council. But Del’s not big on following the rules and she
secretly starts to investigate these other worlds. Something strange is
connecting them and it’s not just her random encounters with echo
versions of the guy she likes, Simon Lane. But Del’s decisions
have unimaginable consequences and, as she begins to fall for the Echo
Simons in each world, she draws closer to a truth that the Council of
Walkers is trying to hide ~ a secret that threatens the fate of the
entire multiverse. (goodreads.com)
