- How to read a book : a novel / by Wood, Monica,author.;
"Violet Powell, a twenty-two-year-old from rural Abbott Falls, Maine, is being released from prison after serving twenty-two months for a drunk-driving crash that killed a local kindergarten teacher. Harriet Larson, a retired English teacher who runs the prison book club, is facing the unsettling prospect of an empty nest. Frank Daigle, a retired machinist, hasn't yet come to grips with the complications of his marriage to the woman Violet killed. When the three encounter each other one morning in a bookstore in Portland--Violet to buy the novel she was reading in the prison book club before her release, Harriet to choose the next title for the women who remain, and Frank to dispatch his duties as the store handyman--their lives begin to intersect in transformative ways. How to Read a Book is an unsparingly honest and profoundly hopeful story about letting go of guilt, seizing second chances, and the power of books to change our lives. With the heart, wit, grace, and depth of understanding that has characterized her work, Monica Wood illuminates the decisions that define a life and the kindnesses that make life worth living"--- Subjects: Domestic fiction.; Psychological fiction.; Novels.; Book clubs (Discussion groups); Books and reading; Drinking and traffic accidents; Drunk driving; Friendship; Guilt; Widowers; Women ex-convicts;

- Stuff of nightmares. [graphic novel] / by Stine, R. L.,author,creator.; Bak, Pius,1992-illustrator.; Gorham, Adam,illustrator.;
If you dare, get into the sinister spirit of the season and join The Nightmare Keeper for two fresh forays into the Stuff of Nightmares universe! First, comic creator Alex Oxaca has been out of the spotlight for decades, and he'll wish he'd remained in obscurity soon enough ... RED MURDER was the smash hit title of the early 2000s, and will come back from the past in more ways than one during the 20th anniversary celebration of the title! A real ax murderer, eerily parallel to the hatchet-wielding killer in the comic, starts chopping down equally real victims, bringing a whole new meaning to HorrorCon. And ... as malls continue to die, a down-and-out former mall Santa named Heinrick Fiddler's rage turns to madness, and he's dead-set on making sure department store shopping isn't the only thing that's deceased in SLAY RIDE!- Subjects: Graphic novels.; Horror comics.; Serial murderers; Serial murders; Murder;
