anewearth.jpg
A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle

(Oprah’s latest pick!)

Contends that humanity has an unprecedented opportunity to shift from its dangerous, ego-based state of consciousness to a saner, more loving existence, and offers practical advice on how to promote kindness and freedom. Explaining that the current state of humanity is erroneously and dangerously ego-centric, an argument for a shift in consciousness reveals how the modern world can become more sane and loving, in a spiritual exploration that offers practical advice on how to promote kindness, freedom, and a realization of humanity’s potential

thegathering.jpg
The Gathering, by Anne Enright

The nine surviving children of the Hegarty clan gather in Dublin for the wake of their wayward brother, Liam, who drowned in the sea, including his sister Veronica, who had shared with him the secret of what had happened to him as a boy in his grandmother’s house, in a novel about betrayal and redemption across three generations. Original.

songyetsung.jpg
Song Yet Sung, by James McBride

A tale set against a backdrop of slave rights conflicts in the nineteenth-century Chesapeake Bay region finds young runaway Liz Spocott inadvertently inspiring a slave breakout from the attic prison of a notorious slave thief who vengefully calls slave catcher Denwood Long out of retirement. 100,000 first printing.
