A Good Talk, by Daniel Menaker
In a time when conversation remains deeply important– for building relationships, for relaxing, even for figuring out who we are– and also increasingly imperiled (with Blackberries and texting increasingly in vogue), A GOOD TALK is a refreshing celebration of the subtle adventures of a good conversation.
Across the Endless River, by Thad Carhart
Thad Carhart tells the beautiful story of Jean Baptiste, son of Sacajawea. He has obviously done a lot of research, and the story is full of accurate historical facts. However, it doesn’t feel like reading a history book—it feels like reading poetry.

During a particularly painful time in her life, Sarah Zacharias Davis learned how delightful–and wounding–women can be in friendship. She saw how some friendships end badly, others die slow deaths, and how a chance acquaintance can become that enduring friend you need.
Genre Summary: Horror
With October being the month of Halloween, it seems appropriate that this month’s genre summary should be horror!
Genre Definition: Science Fiction

Genre Summary: Fantasy
Mystical, flexible and fundamentally magical, fantasy can take you to a whole new world, or put a twist on this world to make it infinitely more exciting.
