New Listings This Week
New in Shopify this week, we've got some great Mystery books, including State of Terror by Louise Penny and Hillary Rodham Clinton and Going Rogue by Janet Evanovich. You'll also find Jeffrey Archer's Next in Line, in which royal fever sweeps the nation as Britain falls in love with the “people’s princess”, Princess Diana. Which means for Scotland Yard, the focus is on the elite Royalty Protection Command, and its commanding officer. Entrusted with protecting the most famous family on earth, they quite simply have to be the best.
We're also listing some Children's Picture Books like Sarah Grace Tuttle's Dot, Stripe, Squiggle, a simple board book introduction to patterns and shapes that features nine extraordinary sea creatures (which are identified at the end), bringing the marine world to life. And Giants!: Stories from Around the World by Paul Robert Walker, a collection of seven folktales ranging from Europe to the Middle East, Africa, Hawaii, and the Pacific Northwest, includes "The Giant Who Had No Heart" and "Kana and the Stretching Wonder," among others.
How to Age Disgracefully
by Clare Pooley
A senior citizens’ center and a daycare collide with hilarious results in the new ensemble comedy from New York Times- bestselling author Clare Pooley
When Lydia takes a job running the Senior Citizens’ Social Club three afternoons a week, she assumes she’ll be spending her time drinking tea and playing gentle games of cards.
The members of the Social Club, however, are not at all what Lydia was expecting. From Art, a failed actor turned kleptomaniac to Daphne, who has been hiding from her dark past for decades to Ruby, a Banksy-style knitter who gets revenge in yarn, these seniors look deceptively benign—but when age makes you invisible, secrets are so much easier to hide.
