Featured Items

Abundance

by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson


This book discusses the history of the twenty-first century as a story of unaffordability and shortage in America. It highlights the national housing crisis, labor shortages due to limited immigration, insufficient clean-energy infrastructure, and delayed, over-budget public projects. The author argues that the root cause of these problems is a lack of sufficient building and proactive planning over the decades. Many of today's issues stem from past policies and regulations that, while intended to address issues of the 1970s, now hinder progress in areas like urban density and green energy. The book stresses that while we have become more aware of these problems, our ability to solve them has diminished. The book proposes that both liberals and conservatives need to recognize when government is failing or needed, and advocates for a politics of abundance--building solutions for the future, rather than adhering to past approaches focused on scarcity. This approach aims to address current challenges and the growing dissatisfaction with the status quo.

Nobody's Fool (Book 2)

by Harlan Coben


Sami Kierce, a young college grad backpacking in Spain with friends, wakes up one morning, covered in blood. There's a knife in his hand. Beside him, the body of his girlfriend. Anna. Dead. He doesn't know what happened. His screams drown out his thoughts -- and then he runs. Twenty-two years later, Kierce, now a private investigator, is a new father who's working off his debts by doing low level surveillance jobs and teaching wannabe sleuths at a night school in New York City. One evening, he recognizes a familiar face at the back of the classroom. Anna. It's unmistakably her. As soon as Kierce makes eye contact with her, she bolts. For Kierce there is no choice. He knows he must find this woman and solve the impossible mystery that has haunted his every waking moment since that terrible day.

Careless People: A Cautionary tale of Power, Greed and Lost Idealism

by Sarah Wynn-Williams


From trips on private jets and encounters with world leaders to shocking accounts of misogyny behind the scenes, this searing memoir exposes both the personal and the political fallout when unfettered power and a rotten company culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative where a few people carelessly hold the world in their hands, this eye-opening memoir reveals what really goes on among the global elite. Sarah Wynn-Williams tells the story of Facebook, mapping its rise from stumbling encounters with juntas to Mark Zuckerberg’s reaction when he learned of Facebook’s role in Trump’s election. She experiences the challenges and humiliations of working motherhood within a pressure cooker of a workplace, all while Sheryl Sandberg urges her and others to “lean in.” Careless People is a personal account of why and how things have gone so horribly wrong in the past decade told in a sharp, candid, and utterly disarming voice.

The Griffin Sisters' Greatest Hits

by Jennifer Weiner


Sisters Zoe and Cassie Grossberg were born just a year apart but could not have been more different. Zoe, blessed with charm and beauty, yearned for fame from the moment she could sing into a hairbrush. Cassie was a musical prodigy who never felt at home in her own skin. In the early 2000s, destiny intervened, catapulting Zoe and Cassie into the spotlight as the pop sensation the Griffin Sisters. But after a whirlwind year in the public eye, the band abruptly broke up. Two decades later, Zoe's a housewife, Cassie's off the grid. The sisters aren't speaking, and the real reason for the Giffin Sisters' breakup is still a mystery. Zoe's teenage daughter, Cherry, who's determined to be a star in spite of Zoe's warnings, is on a quest to learn the truth about what happened to the band all those years ago. As secrets emerge, all 3 women must face the consequences of their choices: the ones they made and the music industry made for them.

No More Tears: The Dark Secrets of Johnson & Johnson

by Gardiner Harris


One day in 2004, Gardiner Harris, a pharmaceutical reporter for The New York Times, was early for a flight and sat down at an airport bar. He struck up a conversation with the woman on the barstool next to him, who happened to be a drug sales rep for Johnson & Johnson. Her story about unethical sales practices and the devastating impact they'd had on her family changed the nature of how Harris would cover the company and the pharmaceutical industry. His investigations and research since that first conversation led to this book. Harris takes us away from the company's image as the child-friendly company as he uncovers reams of evidence showing decades of dangerous corporate practices that have threatened the lives of millions. He covers multiple cover-ups regarding the link of Johnson's Baby Powder to cancer, the dangers of Tylenol, a campaign to sell antipsychotics that have cost countless lives, a popular drug used to support cancer patients that actually increases the risk that cancer growth, and deceptive marketing that accelerated opioid addictions through their product Duragesic (fentanyl) that rival even those of the Sacklers and Purdue Pharma.

Summer in the City

by Alex Aster


Twenty-seven-year-old screenwriter Elle has the chance of a lifetime: to write a big-budget movie set in New York City. The only problem? She's had writer's block for months, and her screenplay is due at the end of the summer. In a desperate attempt at inspiration, Elle ends up back in the city she swore she would never return to, in an apartment she could never afford. It's the perfect place to write her screenplay - until she realizes her new neighbor is tech 'Billionaire Bachelor' Parker Warren, her stairwell hookup from two years ago. It's been a lovers-to-enemies situation ever since. When seeing him again turns into a full night of hate-fueled writing, Elle realizes her enemy/ twisted muse might just be the key to finishing her screenplay--if she can stand being around her polar opposite.

Elphie: A Wicked Childhood

by Gregory Maguire


Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, will grow to have a feisty and somewhat uncompromising character in adult life. Elphie is the riveting coming-of-age story of a very peculiar and relatable young girl. Young Elphie is shaped by the behaviors of her promiscuous mother, Melena, and her pious father, Frex. She suffers childhood jealousies when her sister, saintly Nessarose, and brother, junior felon Shell, arrive. She first encounters the mistreatment of the Animal populations of Oz, which live adjacent to but not intertwined with human settlements, haunted by a Monkey and receiving aid from Dwarf Bears. She thrashes through her first attempts at friendship, a possible lifeline from her tricky family life. And she gleans the benefits of an education, until she arrives at the doors of Shiz University, about to meet the radiant creature that is Galinda. Elphie is destined to be a witch.

Who Is Government? The Untold Story of Public Service

by Michael Lewis


The government is a vast, complex system that Americans pay for, rebel against, rely upon, dismiss, and celebrate. It's also our shared resource for addressing the biggest problems of society. And it's made up of people, mostly unrecognized and uncelebrated, doing work that can be deeply consequential and beneficial to everyone. Michael Lewis invited his favorite writers to find someone doing an interesting job for the government and write about them in a special in-depth series for the Washington Post. The stories they found are inspiring: a former coal miner devoted to making mine roofs less likely to collapse, saving lives; an IRS agent straight out of a crime thriller; and the manager who made the National Cemetery Administration the best-run organization, public or private, in the entire country. Each essay shines a spotlight on the behind-the-scenes work of exemplary federal employees.

I am Maria

by Maria Shriver


I Am Maria is a powerful collection of Maria Shriver's own poems that grapple with identity, grief, love, loss, longing, heartbreak and healing.

Great Big Beautiful Life

by Emily Henry


Alice Scott is an eternal optimist still dreaming of her big writing break. Hayden Anderson is a Pulitzer-prize winning author. They're both on balmy Little Crescent Island for the same reason: To write the biography of a woman no one has seen in years. Octogenarian, Margaret Ives, is a tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and from one of the most storied families of the 20th Century. Margaret invites them both for a one-month trial period, after which she'll choose who'll tell her story. The problem is, Margaret is only giving each of them pieces of her story. Pieces they can't swap because of an ironclad NDA and a yearning pulsing between them every time they're in the same room. It's becoming clear that their story could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad...depending on who's telling it.

All Northwest Regional Library System Locations will be CLOSED on Monday, May 26 for Memorial Day.

The Sirens

by Emilia Hart



1956, Malibu, California: With her name on the Hollywood blacklist, starlet Melanie Cole has little choice in company. There is her next-door neighbor, Elwood, but the screenwriter’s agoraphobia allows for short chats through open windows. He’s her sole confidante, though, as she and her housekeeper, Eva, an immigrant from war-torn Europe, rarely talk. Then one early morning Melanie and Eva spot Elwood’s sister-in-law digging in his beloved rose garden. After that they don’t see Elwood anymore. Where could a man who never leaves the house possibly have gone?

Fahrenheit-182: A Memoir

by Mark Hoppus with Dan Ozzi


With humor and raw honesty, Fahrenheit-182 takes readers through Mark's formative years as a latchkey kid in the 1980s, hooked on punk rock, skateboards, and MTV. Along the way, Mark reflects on his lifelong battle with anxiety, his celebrated career with blink-182, and his public fight with cancer. Threaded with sharp humor and heartfelt grit, Fahrenheit-182 is more than just a memoir for blink-182 fans. It's a funny, smart, and deeply human story for anyone who's struggled, reinvented themselves, wanted to quit but kept going.

Strangers in Time

by David Baldacci


Fourteen-year-old Charlie Matters is up to no good. Without parents, he steals what he needs, living day-to-day until he’s old enough to enlist to fight the Germans. After barely surviving the Blitz, Charlie knows there’s no telling when a falling bomb might end his life. Fifteen-year-old Molly Wakefield has just returned to a nearly unrecognizable London. One of millions of children to have been evacuated to the countryside Molly has been away from her home for nearly five years. Her return, however, is not the homecoming she’d hoped for as she’s confronted by a devastating reality: neither of her parents are there. Without guardians and stability, Charlie and Molly find an unexpected ally and protector in Ignatius Oliver, and solace at his bookshop, The Book Keep. Mourning the recent loss of his wife, Ignatius forms a kinship with both children, and in each other they rediscover the spirit of family each has lost.
