Stardust by Neil Gaiman -
Stardust is an utterly charming fairy tale. Neil Gaiman, creator of the Newbery Award winning book,
The Graveyard Book, tells the story of young Tristran Thorn and his adventures in the land of Faerie. You'll love goofy, earnest Tristran and the talking animals, gnomes, magic trees, and other irresistible denizens of Faerie that he encounters in his travels.
Stardust is a perfect read-aloud book, a brand-new fairy tale you'll want to share with a kid, or maybe hoard for yourself.

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe
Meet the Author! The group will chat with Katherine via phone at the meeting. This charming novel is both a tale of New England grad-student life in 1991 and the Salem witch hunts in 1692.
November 16 at 7pm -
Blonde: A Novel by Joyce Carol Oates. This 700-plus-page tome is based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. In fictional form, with names changed (husband Joe DiMaggio is referred to as "The Ex-Athlete," Arthur Miller as "The Playwright," John F. Kennedy as "The President," for example), this may be the most accurate and compelling portrait of this beautiful and complex woman that one is ever likely to read.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larson. Once you start The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, there's no turning back. This debut thriller--the first in a trilogy from the late Stieg Larsson--is a serious page-turner. Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him until an offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. He accepts and enlists the help of tattooed investigator Lisbeth Salander, a feral but vulnerable superhacker.
