Among friends / by Ebbott, Hal,author.;
"It's an autumn weekend at a comfortable New York country house where two deeply intertwined families have gathered to mark the host's fifty-second birthday.

A home for all seasons / by Prestney, Kay,author.; Cherry, Becca,author.;
Learn how to create a comfortable, sustainable home that is aligned with the seasons and celebrates the beauty of the natural world. There are many benefits to seasonal living, which encourages us to live in harmony with nature as we mark the passing of the year. Each chapter of this book is dedicated to one of the four seasons. In the spring, celebrate new beginnings: bring in blossom and plant bulbs in antique chinaware. Summer is the time to embrace outdoor living with sheer linens and lots of texture, while autumn brings the harvest as the nights draw in: embrace it with earthy tones, dried flowers and cosy furnishings. And in winter, candles, evergreen foliage and soft sheepskins bring light and warmth to the darkest time of the year. Kay Prestney and Becca Cherry present beautiful interiors alongside practical styling inspiration. Seasonal colour palettes, natural materials and biophilic elements are key to this style of decorating, which uses the changing hues of the natural world to create an intentional, comforting home.

Yet Tara can't stay sober. She's terrible at monogamy. Even her psychiatrist grows sick of her and stops returning her calls. She spends most of her time putting out social fires, barely pulling things off, and feeling sick and tired. Then, in the autumn following her twenty-seventh birthday, an abnormal lump discovered in her left breast serves as the catalyst for a journey of rigorous self-questioning. Waiting on a diagnosis, she begins an intellectual assessment of her life, desperate to justify a short existence full of dumb choices. Armed with her philosophy degree and angry determination, she attacks each issue in her life as the days creep by and winds up writing a searingly honest memoir about learning to live before getting ready to die."--

The Reptile Club / by Fergus, Maureen.; Ellis, Elina.;
Rory just knew that there were other kids out there who shared his passion for reptiles--and he couldn't wait to meet them! He starts a Reptile Club at school, but to his astonishment it's not his schoolmates who attend the first meeting, but a crocodile, an anaconda and a gecko! As the four of them get to know each other--each explaining their unique talents and sharing interesting reptile facts--the kids in Rory's school see how much fun they're having and decide to join the club, too. Never in the history of the world have mammals and reptiles gotten along so well. At every meeting, the Reptile Club does something fun and different. They even come up with a secret password and hand signal. But one blustery day in late autumn, the reptiles announce that it's time for them to go--they need to either hibernate or head to a warmer climate. Rory's friends, now reptile enthusiasts, continue with the club after they're gone, but it just isn't the same. So Rory, who loves dinosaurs almost as much as he loves reptiles, comes up with an idea for a new club...LSC

Ocean state / by O'Nan, Stewart,1961-author.;
"In the first line of Ocean State, we learn that a high school student was murdered, and we find out who did it. The story that unfolds from there with incredible momentum is thus one of the build-up to and fall-out from the murder, told through the alternating perspectives of the four women at its heart. Angel, the murderer, Carol, her mother, and Birdy, the victim, all come alive on the page as they converge in a climax both tragic and inevitable. Watching over it all is the retrospective testimony of Angel's younger sister Marie, who reflects on that doomed autumn of 2009 with all the wisdom of hindsight. Angel and Birdy love the same teenage boy, frantically and single mindedly, and are moved by the intensity of their feelings to extremes neither could have anticipated. O'Nan's expert hand paints a fully realized portrait of these women, but also weaves a compelling and heartbreaking story of working-class life in Ashaway, Rhode Island. Propulsive, haunting, and deeply rendered, Ocean State is a masterful novel by one of our greatest storytellers"--
