Fiction
Friends Forever by Danielle Steel. Cover has five young kids kids throwing rocks into a lake. Author photo is huge. Credits on the flyleaf say the cover photo is a stock image from Iofoto/Shutterstock.
Broken Harbor by Tana French. You read her other novels, now read this one. French's author photo has her with short, red hair, wearing a shawl/scarf and posing outside.
Celtic Conspiracy by Thore D. Hansen. A customer asked about this. I found it on Amazon and it had a couple decent reviews so I ordered it. Finding a MARC record and getting this on the shelf was a chore.
Non Fiction
Guilty by Popular Demand: a true story of small town injustice by Bill Osinski. I do not remember how I heard about this or why I ordered it. True crime books circ' fairly well here. This is about a double murder in Ohio in 1982 Ohio and a man wrongly convicted for the crimes. The real killers were found in 2008.
CDL: commercial driver's license exam by Matt Mosher. Author has "450,000 safe-driving miles behind him." Zoinks. That is a lot of driving. I'm surprised this does not come with prep exams on CD-ROM.
