Books are the quietest friends; they are the most accessible and wisest counselors; and the most patient of teachers.~~~~Charles W. Eliot~~~~
Adult Book Picks:
"A Discovery Of Witches" by Deborah Harkness. Deep in the heart of Oxford's Bodleian Library, scholar Diana Bishop requests a manuscript called Ashmole 782 in the course of her research. Coming from an old and distinguished lineage of witches, Diana senses that the ancient book might be bound up with magic - but she herself wants nothing to do with sorcery; and after making a few notes on its curious images, she banishes it quickly back to the stacks. But what she doesn't know is that the old alchemical text has been lost for ceturies, and its sudden appearence has set a fantastical underworld stirring. Soon, a distracting horde of deamons, witches, and vampires descends upon the Bodleian's reading rooms.One of these creatures is Matthew Clairmont, an enigmatic and eminent geneticist, practitioner of yoga, and wine connoisseur and also a vampire with a keen interest in Ashmole 728.
"Retribution" by Sherrilyn Kenyon. ( A Dark Hunter Novel) A hired gunslinger, William Jessup Brady lived his life with one foot in the grave. He believed that every life had a price, until the day when he finally found a reason to live. In one single act of brutal betrayal, he lost everything, including his life. Brought back by a Greek goddess to be one of her Dark Hunters, Brady gave his immortal soul for vengence and swore he'd spend eternity protecting the humans he'd once considered prey.
"Wicked Appetite" by Janet Evanovich. For ceturies, treasure hunters have been eager to possess the Stones, undeterred by their corrupting nature. The list is long- Ghengis Khan, Alexander The Great, Napolean, to name a few. Now the Stones have found their way to Salem, Massachusetts, and so has Gerwulf Grimoire, adding himself to this rogues' gallery of power seekers. He's an uncommonly dangerous man with a hunger for the forbidden and a set of abilities that are way beyond ordinary. Abilities that he feels entitle him to possess anything he might desire.
