The Connections Bernards-Ridge June 2019

JUNE/JULY/AUGUST 2019 THE BERNARDS-RIDGE CONNECTION PAGE 35 Summer is in full swing here at THE BOOKWORM. There are so many great new books to keep you busy all summer. Available now, THE GUEST BOOK by Sarah Blake is an engaging family saga that takes place partly on an island off the coast of Maine. Beach reads from well-known summer authors are also avail- able this month and the next, like: SUMMER OF ‘69 by Elin Hilderbrand, QUEEN BEE by Dorothea Benton Frank, FRIENDS WE KEEP by Jane Green, MRS. EVERYTHING by Jennifer Weiner, and SUMMER GUESTS by Mary Alice Monroe. For mystery readers, these highly anticipated titles will have you turning the pages on the beach. David Baldacci intro- duces an unforgettable new character, Archer, a straight-talk- ing former World War II soldier fresh out of prison for a crime he didn’t commit, in ONE GOOD DEED. A stunning, new thriller from Daniel Silva, THE NEW GIRL, contains plenty of vengeance, deception and betrayal. Another one of our favorite authors will reward readers in August instead of the fall with her 15th Inspector Gamache novel, A BETTER MAN. James Patterson and Candice Fox team up again for THE INN, while Ruth Ware, the bestselling author of many psychological thrillers, has THE TURN OF THE KEY coming out in August. For those who enjoy literary fiction in the sun, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award win- ner Colson Whitehead has a new book. THE NICKEL BOYS is about another strand of American history in Jim Crow- era Florida. Award-winning author Elizabeth Gilbert has a new fictional tale, THE CITY OF GIRLS, which has been described as “Perfect…a page-turner with heart complete with a potent message of fulfillment and hap- piness.” For those who enjoy non-fic- tion by the pool, the bestselling book THE PIONEERS by David McCullough is a good choice. McCullough rediscovers an important and dramatic chapter in American history - the settling of the Northwest Territory by pioneers who overcame incredi- ble hardships to build a commu- nity based on ideals that would come to define our country. And don’t forget the kids! DOG MAN: For Whom the Ball Rolls, #7, will be available in August. We are accepting pre-orders now. GUINNESSWORLD RECORDS 2020 will be available in August also.
