New Adult Fiction: Thursday, December 5

December is a busy month, but you need some downtime too. What better way to spend it than reading? We’ve got tons of new books coming in regularly—stop by and check them out. We will continue to offer “Grab and Go” services for those who prefer to place their books on hold online and then pick them up in the cabinet inside the library.

Here are a few of the new books that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!

Is She Really Going Out With Him?

Columnist Anna Appleby has left her love life behind after a painful divorce. Who needs a man when she has two kids, a cat, and uncontested control of the TV remote? But her office rival is vying for her column, and no column means no stable source of income. Anna finds herself pitching a unique angle: seven dates, all found offline, chosen by her children. From awkward encounters to unexpected connections, Anna gamely begins to put herself out there, asking out waiters, the mailman, and even her celebrity crush. But when a romantic connection appears, will she be brave enough to take another chance on love?

The Mirror

When Sonya MacTavish inherits the huge Victorian mansion on the coast of Maine, she has no idea that the house is haunted. The footsteps she hears at night, the music playing, are not figments of her imagination. And when she has visions of an antique mirror, she is drawn to it. Then one night the mirror appears and Sonya glides through this looking glass, into the past—and sees a bride murdered on her wedding day, the circle of gold torn from her finger. It is a scene that will play out again and again—a centuries-old curse that must be broken.

Time Will Tell

Between leading her Jefferson Hunt Club’s fox hunting season and looking after her beloved hounds and horses, “Sister” Jane Arnold is as busy as can be. She and her friend Tootie Harris are helping to lure home two escaped cows when they discover an expensive watch carelessly abandoned on an overgrown path. Days later, a young man is murdered, and Sister vows to find the murderer. But when hounds on the hunt discover a truck covered in blood, she quickly realizes she’s in over her head with a cunning and clever adversary. Can she find the link and stop the murderer before they strike again?
