Book Lovers

Cutthroat literary agent Nora Stephens is dragged to a small town for a vacation, only to repeatedly run into Charlie Lastra, a brooding editor she knows from the city.

Book Scavenger

by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman  

Junior BERTMAN 

For twelve-year-old Emily, the best thing about moving to San Francisco is that it's the home city of her literary idol: Garrison Griswold, book publisher and creator of the online sensation Book Scavenger. Upon her arrival, however, Emily learns that Griswold has been attacked and is now in a coma, and no one knows anything about the epic new game he had been poised to launch.

The Graveyard Book

by Neil Gaiman

Junior GAIMAN 

Nobody Owens, known as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn’t live in a graveyard, being raised by ghosts, with a guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor the dead.  But if Bod leaves the graveyard, he will be in danger from the man Jack, who has already killed Bod’s family.

Snow Kissed

by RaeAnne Thayne

THAYNE 

Christmas has always been single mom Holly Goodwin Moore’s favorite time of year. The twinkly lights on the tree, the cookies in the oven, the snow on the ground. But she’s just not feeling it this year. The wedding in her ex’s family is almost here, her daughter, Lydia, is bursting at the seams to be a flower girl…and Holly couldn’t be dreading it more. She told a little white lie about having a new boyfriend as her plus-one, hoping to save face. She needs a date for the wedding…and she needs it now. 


Christmas at the Cupcake Café

by Jenny Colgan 

COLGAN 

Life is sweet for Issy Randall, owner of the Cupcake Cafe. Not only is business thriving, the icing on the cupcake is that she also happens to be head over heels in love. But when her boyfriend Austin is scouted for a possible move to New York, Issy is forced to contemplate the prospect of a long-distance romance. And when the Christmas rush at the cafe, with its increased demand for her delectable creations, begins to take its toll, Issy has to decide what she holds most dear. 


The Heart in Winter

by Kevin Barry  

BARRY 

A hard winter approaches across the Rocky Mountains. The city of Butte, Montana is rich on copper mines and rampant with vice and debauchery among a hard-living crowd of immigrant Irish workers. Here we find Tom Rourke, a young poet and ballad-maker of the town, but also a doper, a drinker, and a fearsome degenerate. Just as he feels his life is heading nowhere fast, Polly Gillespie arrives in town as the new bride of the extremely devout mine captain Long Anthony Harrington.

What’s New at the Campbell Library?  

Come stop in to check out some of the new books that just hit our shelves! 


A Midnight Puzzle

by Gigi Pandian  

Mystery PANDIAN Secret v.3

Secret Staircase Construction is under attack, and Tempest Raj feels helpless. After former client Julian Rhodes tried to kill his wife, he blamed her "accident" on the home renovation company’s craftsmanship. Now the family business, known for bringing magic into homes through hidden doors, floating staircases, and architectural puzzle walls, is at a breaking point. No amount of Scottish and Indian meals from her grandfather can distract Tempest from the truth: they’re being framed. 


Spoiler Alert

by Olivia Dade 

DADE Spoiler Alert v.1

Marcus Caster-Rupp has a secret. The world may know him as Aeneas, star of the biggest show on television, but fanfiction readers call him something else: Book!AeneasWouldNever. Marcus gets out his frustrations with the show through anonymous stories about the internet’s favorite couple, Aeneas and Lavinia. But if anyone discovered his online persona, he’d be finished in Hollywood. 


Play Nice

by Rachel Harrison 

HARRISON

Clio Louise Barnes leads a picture-perfect life as a stylist and influencer, but beneath the glossy veneer she harbors a not-so glamorous secret: she grew up in a haunted house. Well, not haunted. Possessed.  


The Impossible Fortune

by Richard Osman 

Mystery OSMAN Thursday v.5
Also in Large Print

It’s been a quiet year for the Thursday Murder Club. Joyce is busy with table plans and first dances. Elizabeth is grieving. Ron is dealing with family troubles, and Ibrahim is still providing therapy to his favorite criminal. But when Elizabeth meets Nick, a wedding guest asking for her help, she finds the thrill of the chase is ignited once again. And when Nick disappears without a trace, his cagey business partner becomes the gang’s next stop. It seems the duo have something valuable, something worth killing for.
