Northern Lights by Nora Roberts

Lunacy, Alaska, was Nate Burke’s last chance. As a Baltimore cop, he’d watched his partner die on the street—and the guilt still haunts him. With nowhere else to go, he accepts the job as Chief of Police in this tiny, remote Alaskan town. But just as he wonders whether this has been all a big mistake, an unexpected kiss on New Year’s Eve under the brilliant Northern Lights of the Alaska sky lifts his spirit and convinces him to stay just a little longer. The 2009 made for TV movie stars LeeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian.

The Big Year By Mark Obmascik

Thursday

NO JULY MEETING DUE TO JULY 4^TH HOLIDAY

7:00 PM

The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession

is the true story of one of the wackiest competitions around.  Every year hundreds of obsessed bird watchers participate in a contest known as the North American Big Year in which each birder spends 365 days racing around the continental U.S. and Canada compiling lists of birds, all for the glory of being recognized as the Big Year birding champion of North America. In this entertaining book, Obmascik, a journalist with the Denver Post, tells the stories of the three top contenders in 1998: a wisecracking industrial roofing contractor from New Jersey who aims to break his previous record and win for a second time; a suave corporate chief executive from Colorado; and a 225-pound nuclear power plant software engineer from Maryland. The 2011 film adaptation stars Jack Black, Owen Wilson and John Cleese.

The Wettest County in the World by Matt Bondurant

Thursday

June 5, 2013

7:00 pm

Based on the true story of Matt Bondurant's grandfather and two granduncles, The Wettest County in the World is a gripping tale of brotherhood, greed, and murder. The Bondurant Boys were a notorious gang of roughnecks and moonshiners who ran liquor through Franklin County, Virginia, during Prohibition and in the years after. Forrest, the eldest brother, is fierce, mythically indestructible, and the consummate businessman; Howard, the middle brother, is an ox of a man besieged by the horrors he witnessed in the Great War; and Jack, the youngest, has a taste for luxury and a dream to get out of Franklin. Driven and haunted, these men forge a business, fall in love, and struggle to stay afloat as they watch their family die, their father's business fail, and the world they know crumble beneath the Depression and drought.

The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly

Thursday, January 3

7:00 pm

Bestselling author Michael Connelly delivers his first legal thriller — an incendiary tale about a cynical defense attorney whose one remaining spark of integrity may cost him his life. Mickey Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense pro who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, to defend the clients at the bottom of the legal food chain. It's no wonder that he is despised by cops, prosecutors, and even some of his own clients.  Haller quickly discovers that his search for innocence has taken him face-to-face with a kind of evil as pure as a flame. To escape without being burned, Haller must use all of his skills to manipulate a system in which he no longer believes.
