SUMMARY:Thriller Book Club: Good Half Gone by Tarryn Fisher
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to read and talk about Good Half Gone by Tarryn Fisher at our in-house thriller book club; this one is getting lots of buzz! And\, since it’s one of our rare paperback releases\, it’s perfect to take with to the beach. As always\, our book club selections are 10% off. You bring the conversation\, we’ll supply the treats (and wine\, of course). \n\n\n\n“The ending shattered me in a way only Tarryn Fisher can!” –Colleen Hoover \n\n\n\nIris Walsh saw her twin sister get kidnapped–so why does no one believe her? Iris narrowly escaped her twin sister’s fate as a teen: abducted in broad daylight and long gone before she could convince the cops there was anything to investigate. With Piper presumed a runaway and no evidence to go on but Iris’s scattered memories\, the case quickly goes cold.Ever since that terrible day\, Iris’ search for Piper has bordered on obsession. Chasing leads across years and following clues that all seem to point to a single name\, Iris does everything she can to get close to the only person who might know the answer to the question that still haunts her: where did Piper go?  \n\n\n\nAnd if the police still won’t help\, she’ll just have to find the answer herself–using her criminal psychology degree to intern at the isolated psychiatric hospital on Shoal Island\, where secrets lurk in the shadows and are kept under lock and key. But Iris soon realizes that something even more sinister is simmering beneath the surface of the Shoal\, and that the patients aren’t the only ones being observed… \n\n\n\nLooking for more captivating reads by Tarryn Fisher? Don’t miss: \n\n\n\n\nNever Never (with Colleen Hoover)\n\n\n\nAn Honest Lie\n\n\n\nThe Wives\n\n\n\nThe Wrong Family

SUMMARY:May Bestseller Book Club: A Short Walk Through a Wide World
DESCRIPTION:Super excited about this month’s pick – A Short Walk through a Wide World by debut novelist Douglas Westerbeke is part Addie LaRue\, part Starless Sea\, part Life of Pi and ALL mesmerizing! \n\n\n\nAs always\, this book club pick is available for 10% off (book club pricing) and the evening at our in-house book club includes free treats and wine – you just bring the scintillating conversation – and we expect some incredible conversation around this winner! \n\n\n\nThink The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue meets Life of Pi or A Starless Sea. This is an epic debut that chronicles an incredible life of a woman as she journeys the globe trying to outrun a curse that will kill her if she stops too long in any one place! Intriguing\, right? \n\n\n\nIt all begins in Paris in 1885\, when nine-year-old Aubry Tourvel\, a spoiled and stubborn childl\, comes across a wooden puzzle ball on her way home from school. She tosses it over the fence\, only to find it in her backpack that evening. Days later\, at the family dinner table\, she suddenly begins to bleed to death. \n\n\n\nWhen medical treatment only makes her worse\, she flees to the outskirts of the city\, where she realizes that it is this very act of movement that inexplicably keeps her alive. So begins her lifelong journey on the run from her condition\, which won’t allow her to stay anywhere for longer than a few days nor –and here’s the kicker– return to any place where she’s already been. \n\n\n\nFrom the dunes of the Calashino Sand Sea to the snow-packed peaks of the Himalayas; from a bottomless well in a Parisian courtyard\, to the shelves of an infinite underground library\, we are tethered to Aubry as she is tethered to her curse. She learns what it takes to survive and ultimately\, to truly live. But the longer Aubry wanders and the more desperate she is to share her life with others\, the clearer it becomes that the world she travels through may not be quite the same as everyone else’s… \n\n\n\nForced to be fiercely independent and yet somehow hopeful and full of longing\, Aubry becomes an unforgettable character fighting her way through a world of wonders\, all to find a safe place she can call home. This really is a spellbinding and inspiring story about discovering meaning in a life that seems otherwise impossible. And at its core\, it should remind each of us that it’s not the destination\, but rather the journey\, that makes us who we are.
