NEW RELEASES:

Circle of Death (The Shadow #2), by James Patterson

When a ruthless killer seeks to overturn the world order, our only hope is vigilante justice. Since Lamont Cranston — known to a select few as the Shadow — defeated Shiwan Khan and ended his reign of terror over New York one year ago, the city has started to regenerate. But there is evil brewing elsewhere. And this time the entire world is under threat. Which is why Lamont has scoured the globe to assemble a team with unmatched talent. Only their combined powers can foil an enemy with ambitions and abilities beyond anyone’s deepest fears. As their mission takes them across the globe and into the highest corridors of power — pushing them beyond their limits — can justice prevail?

Palmetto Pioneers, by Cindy Roe Littlejohn

For the adventure of her lifetime, Mary Adeline Walker, an ordinary daughter of a South Carolina low-country cattleman, follows her family and her heart into the wilds of territorial Florida, where she faces Indian war and Florida’s brutal environs. In frontier Florida, the enemy is nature and man, and the ordinary must become extraordinary—or perish.

Beginning in 1829 when Mary is seven years old and moving through the Second Seminole War to statehood in 1845, this compelling story narrates Mary’s self-discovery and Florida’s struggle to become a state. Where people like the Walkers faced its challenges and used their tenacity to change their own lives and their state’s future. Suspenseful, thoroughly researched, this narrative non-fiction describes the stirring story of the birth of a state—how both Mary and Florida found their way.

A QUOTE TO THINK ABOUT:

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” ― John Lubbock, The Use of Life
