Fans of Barbara Kingsolver have been waiting for a long time for her new novel, and she doesn't disappoint with The Lacuna. An epic, sweeping novel of the life of writer born of a Mexican mother and an American father, who spends time working for Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, as well as Leon Trotsky during his exile in Mexico City. Later, during the writer's time in the US Kingsolver delves into postwar anti-communism, the House Un-American Activities Commitee and it's affects on American writers and other intellectuals. A great new read from one of independent booksellers' favorite authors.

The second book from Suzanne Collins in the Hunger Games trilogy will be of great interest to those of us who loved the first book. A great read for both young adults and those of us who have passed that age but still love a great adventure! A recent customer in the store said she and her friends loved reading it for the romance, and that her 15-year-old brother loved the books and insisted there was no romance. Something for everyone!
