  • Book of the Day: The Woman Who Met Her Match

    The Woman Who Met Her MatchThe Woman Who Met Her Match
    by Fiona Gibson

    The laugh-out-loud Sunday Times bestseller is back – and funnier than ever! Perfect for fans of The Kicking the Bucket List and Carole Matthews, Fiona writes about life as it really is.

    After yet another disaster, Lorrie is calling time on online dating. She might be single in her forties, but she’s got a good job, wonderful children and she’s happy. This, Lorrie decides, is going to have to be enough.

    That is, until she receives a very unexpected request from France. Antoine Rousseau, who had once turned a lonely French exchange trip into a summer of romance, wants to see her – after thirty years.

    But Lorrie is a responsible woman. She can’t exactly run off to Nice with the man who broke her teenage heart… can she?

  • Book of the Day: The Handmaid’s Tale

    The Handmaid's TaleThe Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

    Over 4,700 5-Star Reviews!

    In the world of the near future, who will control women’s bodies?

    Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She may leave the home of the Commander and his wife once a day to walk to food markets whose signs are now pictures instead of words because women are no longer allowed to read. She must lie on her back once a month and pray that the Commander makes her pregnant, because in an age of declining births, Offred and the other Handmaids are only valued if their ovaries are viable.

    Offred can remember the days before, when she lived and made love with her husband Luke; when she played with and protected her daughter; when she had a job, money of her own, and access to knowledge. But all of that is gone now…

  • Book of the Day: Full Body Burden

    Full Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky FlatsFull Body Burden: Growing Up in the Nuclear Shadow of Rocky Flats by Kristen Iversen

    Over 200 5-Star Reviews!

    Full Body Burden is the haunting true story of a young woman, Kristen Iversen, growing up in a small Colorado town close to Rocky Flats, a secret nuclear weapons plant once designated “the most contaminated site in America.” It’s the story of a childhood and adolescence in the shadow of the Cold War, in a landscape at once startlingly beautiful and–unknown to those who lived there–tainted with invisible yet deadly particles of plutonium.

    It’s also a book about the destructive power of secrets–both family and government. Her father’s hidden liquor bottles, the strange cancers in children in the neighborhood, the truth about what was made at Rocky Flats (cleaning supplies, her mother guessed)–best not to inquire too deeply into any of it.

    But as Iversen grew older, she began to ask questions…

    Based on extensive interviews, FBI and EPA documents, and class-action testimony, this taut, beautifully written book promises to have a very long half-life.
