Rebecca Serle, author of Once and Again

The women of the Novak family were each born with a gift: they can, just once, turn back time. Lauren has known since she was 15 that her mother, Marcella, saved Lauren’s father from a deadly car accident. Dave is alive and happy, and out on the Malibu waves. But ever since, Marcella has lived in fear of what she won’t be able to reverse. One summer, Lauren’s husband takes a job in New York, and she moves back into her childhood home. Lauren looks forward to surfing with her dad again and perhaps repairing an unspoken fracture in her relationship with her mother. What she doesn’t expect is for the boy next door to return home as well: Stone, who broke her heart nearly a decade before. As Lauren falls into familiar patterns, she finds herself thinking about all the choices that have brought her to this moment. And wondering, finally, if one of them should be undone.

Viveca Stevenson has it all: a handsome and successful husband, an adorable 10-year-old son, and a coastal dream house in Greenwich, Connecticut. She has a solid group of girlfriends and is content with the afterglow of the film career she’s left behind. But when a threatening letter arrives --- from a man she does not remember --- it cracks open a part of her past she thought was buried for good.

A terrifying chain of events is set in motion, forcing Viveca to confront what happened on a shattering Halloween night in high school when she had a different name, a different face and a different voice.

A woman receives an unexpected gift from the man she loved and lost --- a year of books, one for every month --- launching a reading-inspired journey to live, dream and love again in this glimmering and heart-stopping novel.

Twelve books. Twelve months. One chance to heal her heart.

When Tilly Nightingale receives a call telling her there’s a birthday gift from her husband waiting for her at her local bookshop, it couldn’t come as more of a shock. Partly because she can’t remember the last time she read a book for pleasure. But mainly because Joe died five months ago.

When she goes to pick up the present, Alfie, the bookshop owner, explains the gift --- 12 carefully chosen books with handwritten letters from Joe, one for each month, to help her turn the page on her first year without him.

At first, Tilly can’t imagine sinking into a fictional world. But Joe’s tender words convince her to try, and something remarkable happens. Tilly becomes immersed in the pages, and a new chapter begins to unfold in her own life. 

Monthly trips to the bookstore --- and heartfelt conversations with Alfie --- give Tilly the comfort she craves and the courage to set out on a series of reading-inspired adventures that take her around the world. But as she begins to share her journey with others, her story --- like a book --- becomes more than her own.

About the Book

Multimillion-copy and New York Times bestselling author B. A. Paris returns with a triumphant, unsettling next suspense novel, WHEN I KILL YOU.

Who is watching Nell Masters?

Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card. And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she’s hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex. But Alex also has secrets of his own.

Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger’s car. When Bryony was found murdered, Elle became obsessed with finding the person responsible. She was convinced she knew who it was, and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path.

Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind. Has someone from her past discovered her new identity? Has the stalker become the stalked? Or is there something even more deadly at play?

About the Book

From acclaimed author Terah Shelton Harris comes a poignant story of survival and redemption that questions what it means to stop existing and start living.

Leigh is the last of the Wildes. She knows this because she watched them all die.

Grief never truly fades, and even as the tragedy haunts her, Leigh carries on, because survival is in her blood. So when the transport bus taking her to prison careens off the road, killing everyone onboard except her, she does what's in her nature. She survives. 

While searching for a place to hide, Leigh stumbles upon an unexpected sanctuary: a flower farm in rural Alabama tucked away from the world. What Leigh doesn't expect is the found family there who have built something from the wreckage of their own lives. Especially Jackson, the farm's owner, who sees through Leigh's defenses, offers her small moments of tenderness, and encourages her to face her own tragedies. Slowly, Leigh finds peace with the hard pace and soft nature of the farm, taking comfort in the life blooming around her. Maybe she's not beyond redemption, not too broken for something good. And maybe, just maybe, Leigh starts to heal.

But the past isn't so easily buried.

No matter how far she runs, the truth of who she is and the ghosts of the Wildes follow. And when those secrets catch up to her, threatening everything she's come to love, Leigh will have to truly face what she can survive.

We will be holding our February book club meeting in March. Snow marred our February plans as yet another storm hit. I am betting other groups had the same issue. We are reading THE BOOK CLUB FOR TROUBLESOME WOMEN by Marie Bostwick. It would be fun to define who your book group is for!

The morning after we hold meetings at my house, my husband likes to collect empty wine bottles. He jokes that he uses that to gauge a successful book group.
