Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor

Master storyteller and National Book Award Finalist Laini Taylor pulls readers into an amazing, multi-layered world in Daughter of Smoke & Bone. Seventeen-year-old Karou leads two lives: one in the tangled streets of Prague, as a talented and mysterious art student; the other in a clandestine workshop overflowing with jars of teeth, run by the ram-horned magician and monstrous Brimstone, who is the closest thing to family Karou has ever known. Even to herself, Karou is a mystery.  She doesn't know where she came from, or if she's entirely human. The next book in the series, Days of Blood & Starlight, will be published November 6.

Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver

Barbara Kingsolver is the author of eight works of fiction, including the novels The Lacuna, The Poisonwood Bible, Animal Dreams, and The Bean Trees, as well as books of poetry, essays, and creative nonfiction. Set in the present year in the rural community of Feathertown, Tennessee, Flight Behavior tells the story of Dellarobia Turnbow, a petite, razor-sharp 29-year old who nurtured worldly ambitions before becoming pregnant and marrying at seventeen. Now, after more than a decade of tending small children on a failing farm, oppressed by poverty, isolation, and her husband's antagonistic family, she has mitigated her boredom by surrendering to an obsessive flirtation with a handsome younger man.

The Black Box by Michael Connelly

Michael Connelly is the bestselling author of detective novels and other crime fiction, notably those featuring LAPD Detective Harry Bosch and criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller. The Black Box tells the story of a case that spans 20 years, when Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box," the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.
