Everybody’s Got Something by Robin Roberts: Regardless of how much money you have, your race, where you
live, what religion you follow, you are going through something. Or you already
have or you will. As Momma always said, Everybody's got something.' So begins
beloved Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts's new memoir in which she
recounts the incredible journey that's been her life so far, and the lessons
she's learned along the way. With grace, heart, and humor, she writes about
overcoming breast cancer only to learn five years later thatshe will need a
bone marrow transplant to combat a rare blood disorder, the grief and
heartbreak she suffered when her mother passed away, her triumphant return to
GMA after her medical leave, and the tremendous support and love of her family
and friendsthat saw her through her difficult times. Following her mother's
advice to 'make your mess your message,' Robin taught a nation of viewers that
while it is true that we've all got something--a medical crisis to face, aging
parents to care for, heartbreakin all its many forms--we've also all got
something to give: hope, encouragement, a life-saving transplant or a
spirit-saving embrace. As Robin has learned, and what readers of her remarkable
story will come to believe as well, it's all about faith, family and friends. Check Availability
Chestnut Street by Maeve Binchy:
While she was
writing columns for The Irish Times and her best-selling novels, Maeve Binchy
also had in mind to write a book that revolved around one street with many
characters coming and going. Every once in a while, she would write about one
these people. She would then put it in a drawer. "For the future,"
she would say. The future is now. Just around the corner from St. Jarlath's
Crescent (which readers will recognize from Minding Frankie) is Chestnut
Street, where neighbors come and go. Behind their closed doors we encounter
very different people with different life circumstances, occupations, and
sensibilities. Written with the humor and understanding that are earmarks of
Maeve Binchy's work, it is a pleasure to be part of this world with all of its
joys and sorrows, to get to know the good and the bad, and ultimately to have
our hearts warmed by her storytelling.

Otherwise Engaged by Amanda Quick:
One does not expect
to be kidnapped on a London street in broad daylight. But Amity Doncaster
barely escapes with her life after she is trapped in a carriage with a
blade-wielding man in a black silk mask who whispers the most vile taunts and
threats into her ear. Her quick thinking, and her secret weapon, save her . . .
for now.
But the monster known in the press as the Bridegroom, who has left a trail of
female victims in his wake, has survived the wounds she inflicts and will soon
be on his feet again. He is unwholesomely obsessed by her scandalous connection
to Benedict Stanbridge; gossip about their hours alone in a ship’s stateroom
seems to have crossed the Atlantic faster than any sailing vessel could.
Benedict refuses to let this resourceful, daring woman suffer for her romantic
link to him, as tenuous as it may be.
For a man and woman
so skilled at disappearing, so at home in the exotic reaches of the globe,
escape is always an option. But each intends to end the Bridegroom’s reign of
terror in London, and will join forces to do so. And as they prepare to
confront an unbalanced criminal in the heart of the city they love, they must also
face feelings that neither of them can run away from.
