Crashers
by Dana Haynes
Macmillian, $24.99
 
I don't usually read thrillers, and I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  Portland author Dana Haynes crafted an action thriller based on a team of investigators who are gathering evidence of a plane crash outside of Portland, Oregon.  Haynes keeps the story moving with a variety of interesting characters.

Juliet
by Anne Fortier
Random House, $25.00

This book is an amazing combination of historical fiction (14th century Siena, Italy), Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, and a modern day Juliet in search of her family history and looking for her own Romeo.

The Cookbook Collector
by Allegra Goodman
Random House, $25.00

Goodman describes her new novel as Sense & Sensibility for the dot.com era - an engrossing and luscious read.  Two sisters with very different talents bring together the high tech world and the arcane realm of rare book collecting.  The varied cast of well drawn characters and the mouth watering eye for detail make this an unforgettable page turner.

The Books of Elsewhere: The Shadows
by Jacqueline West
Penguin, $16.99

A great adventure featuring daring, inquisitive Olive Dunworthy, who moves with her parents to a new house with a few dark secrets! A silly sense of humor balances with scary moments in a unique story reminiscent of Neil Gaiman's Coraline. Lots of fun for all ages!

Sapphique
by Catherine Fisher
Penguin, $17.99

A great sequel to last year's Incarceron! The life-and-death dangerous situation inside the Prison – and the political intrigue outside – are more volatile and unpredictable than ever, as Finn, Claudia, and their friends try to stay one step ahead of both. By the end, nothing – Inside or Outside – will ever be the same. You won't want to put this one down!
