by Leonie SwannThis highly anticipated follow-up to The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp finds Agnes and her octogenarian friends face-to-face with a killer after winning a trip to a beautiful hotel in the seaside town of CornwallThe year is rapidly drawing to an end, Hettie the tortoise is hibernating and Agnes, Charlie, Marshall, and the other elderly residents of Sunset Hall are going stir-crazy at home. They&’ve had enough of the broken boiler, draughty bedrooms, and Christmas jingles on the radio. And to top it all off, another series of murders is rocking the hamlet of Duck End. It seems like every villager and his dog is trying to make up for all of the thwarted murders of the past thirty years.Most unpleasant! The residents of Sunset Hall don&’t want anything to do with the criminal activities. So when Edwina manages to slip onto Marshall&’s computer in an unobserved moment and promptly wins a stay in an exclusive coastal hotel in Cornwall, the Sunset Hall crew doesn&’t waste any time in deciding to join her. After all, Edwina can&’t be left unsupervised.But they&’ve barely unpacked their bags when Agnes sees something unsettling from the terrace of the hotel: two figures in hoods walk away from the hotel along the cliffs, but only one returns. Worried she&’s witnessed a murder, Agnes tells the others. At first nobody really believes her, after all the crew have enough to do working their way through the incredible menu, exploring the hotel&’s wellness-landscape, navigating old and new love affairs and adopting a boa constrictor. But when the hotel ends up isolated from the outside world after a storm, it becomes clear that a murderer really is on the loose—and they&’re trapped, just like all of the other guests!

Aguas Turbias
by Chrys D. Brobbey Claudia CanfieldLas debilidades de la sociedad crean manchas como aguas turbias estancadas. Esta satírica novela ofrece impactantes comentarios sobre la cultura, economía, política, el crimen, la corrupción, alcoholismo y todo lo que es feo, así como hermoso en una sociedad en particular. Las descripciones pintorescas sumergen al lector directamente en los puntos de acción – desde los políticos engañados que creen que están en el servicio público para atender a sus egos, a los adictos al moonshine que consideran la condena de muerte como un trato justo para sus deleites. Es entretenido y provocador hacer preguntas acerca de cuestiones que parecen normales y que se dan por hecho. La lógica es remover las “aguas turbias” de la sociedad, apuñalando la conciencia pública con un nuevo despertar y un cambio.
Ah-Ha to Zig-Zag: 31 Objects from Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
by Maira KalmanMaira Kalman’s exuberant illustrations and humorous commentary bring design history to life in this inspired ABC book that celebrates thirty-one objects from the Cooper Hewitt, in time for its long-awaited reopening. "A. Ah-ha! There you Are." begins Maira Kalman’s joyfully illustrated romp through the treasures of Cooper Hewitt’s design collection. With her signature wit and warm humor, Kalman’s ABC book introduces children and adults to the myriad ways design touches our lives. Posing the question "If you were starting a museum, what would you put in your collection?", Kalman encourages the reader to put pen to paper and send in personal letters—an intimate, interactive gesture to top off her unique tour of the world of design. Objects ranging from a thirteenth-century silk thinking cap to 1889 tin slippers with bows, all the way to Gerrit Rietveld’s Zig-Zag chair are brought to colorful life. Kalman’s hand-lettered text is whimsical and universal in turns, drawing lessons as easily from a worn old boot as a masterpiece of midcentury modernism. Irresistibly, we are led to agree, "Everything is design."

Ahnwee Days
by William E Burleson Eilidh MuldoonLife is not going as planned for Sybil Voss. Growing up in a small town on the Great Plains, she had one goal: to get out as soon as she could. She succeeded, moving to New York after college and building a reasonably happy life. But now she' s back, the sole caregiver for her elderly father who suffers from “ media-induced psychosis” and can only communicate through TV sitcoms.But Sybil' s making the best of it, running her antique business, “ New York ' Tiques,” serving as mayor (since no one else ran), and organizing a town festival, Ahnwee Days.Problem is, things are not going well for her tiny town of Ahnwee. What was once a hopping little city with actual businesses and families ism now slowly becoming a ghost town. The remaining 200 residents have to put up with the insult of a lake so polluted that it glows in the dark, a wind turbine on the edge of town that occasionally golfs cars into the rough, and the ever-present smell of pig shit from the factory hog farm on the hill. How could it get worse?It can and does. The pig farmer says that the land the town sits on is his, and he wants to expand his manure pond. At the same time, a nearby casino may also have a claim to the land, and they want it for an RV park. That's not all: Green Systems Power, a wind turbine factory, wants the town' s land for parts storage, and they' ve bought a county commissioner to make it happen.With her friends, a lonely widowed yarn store owner and a midget— sorry, little person— beef jerky king with anger management issues, Sybil is fighting back. As Sybil says, “ Sure, Ahnwee is just an antique shop, strip joint, and meth lab, but it' s OUR antique shop, strip joint, and meth lab.” Along the way we meet a mayor of a rival town with unclear motives, a nerdy strip club owner and his “ girls,” and an existential— and suicidal— town pastor. Our heroes hold a town meeting and a press conference, and they appeal to the county board, all with the same result: humorously dismal failure. The only

Aim Low: Quit Often, Expect the Worst, and Other Good Advice
by Dave DunseathWhy should you strive to aim low? Because every time you aim low, you'll feel like you've died and gone to Disneyland. You'll be in a place where you're never concerned about hard work, a place where you never feel guilty for goofing off all day, a place where nobody expects anything from you, a place where choosing to eat a third corn dog?or not?will be the hardest decision of your day.Aiming low is as easy as breathing. You can practically do it without thinking. And all the skills required to get there?like quitting or making excuses?take less time to learn than you might imagine. All you really need is this book and the stark realization that you don't really want to "be all that you can be" (what?are you crazy??that's the Army, for crying out loud). In fact, your expectations can go so low that anything you do achieve is completely surprising.Anytime you hear someone say it's a win-win situation, they either don't know all the facts or they have a stuttering problem.Admit your mistakes and you will mature and grow. Don't admit them and you might get away with it.Hope is like a crutch. Once you start relying on it, you'll be too afraid to make a move without it. Crutches are only good for two things: getting awesome parking at the mall and sympathy dates with hot chicks. Otherwise, they'll just slow you down.Whoever said nothing is easy has never tried quitting.

Ain't She a Peach? (Southern Eclectic #2)
by Molly HarperFrom beloved romance author Molly Harper (Half-Moon Hollow and The Nice Girls series) comes the second title in her women’s fiction series, Southern Eclectic, which features the lives, losses and loves of the McCready family as they manage their family’s generational funeral home and bait shop (you read that correctly) on the shore of picturesque Lake Sackett, Georgia.As Lake Sackett’s county coroner, as well as the chief embalmer at McCready Family Funeral Home and Bait Shop, it’s a good thing Frankie McCready is comfortable around dead people. Some might say too comfortable, were they to hear her chatting away with the recently deceased. Frankie would say that her good southern manners taught her that everyone deserves a friendly hello. Luckily though, Frankie is a McCready, and her quirks hardly stand out. Besides, after overcoming a serious childhood illness, Frankie isn’t about to let anyone tell her how to live her life (well, except maybe her mama).Frankie can’t help her intense interest in the new town sheriff, Eric Lindon, new to town from Atlanta, and seemingly the polar opposite of her—he’s straight laced, follows the rules to a T, and faints immediately upon seeing a dead body. Frankie’s got to wonder, is he afraid of the dark too?But both Frankie and Eric have bigger problems—someone has been breaking in at the funeral home and she’ll be damned if anyone disrespects the dead in her home. Frankie’s methods (she’s never been known for subtlety) for catching the intruder conflict with Eric’s law-abiding strategy. On the case, Frankie and Eric’s friendship is tested, and before they find the intruder, they may discover more about each other, and themselves, than they ever thought possible.With Ain’t She a Peach, Molly Harper once again shows that “she never lets the reader down with her delightfully entertaining stories,” (Single Titles).“Another round of hilarity and romance in Harper’s second Southern Eclectic novel.” (RT Reviews)“Witty, snarky, and a whole lot of Southern comfort is wrapped up in this sweet read. Not to be missed!” (A Midwife Life) Harper infuses merriment…into her laid-back [Southern Eclectic] series.” (Publishers Weekly)
