 The Leisure Seeker by Michael Zadoorian
This is the story of a journey taken by John and Ella Robina in their ’78 Leisure Seeker RV. They had taken many trips in an RV during their more than 50 years of married life, but this one is begun against the advice of their two adult children and their doctors. They have various adventures on the way from Detroit to the West Coast from funny to sad, or scary and dangerous. A few times you may find yourself feeling as if you had experienced the very same thing.

 Sunshine by Robin McKinley
This title has been called a “Twilight” for a slightly more mature crowd. Compelling, and slightly less pulpy than some vampire romance tales, McKinley, also a well known children’s author, weaves an addictive spell.
 Ain’t Myth-Behaving by Katie MacAlister
A modern woman and a god from ancient legend? Surely an epic love mismatch...or maybe it's the "myth match" of the century?
 The Monsters of Templeton: a Novel by Lauren Groff
Willie Upton has just detonated a promising academic career by her scandalous affair with a married professor. Now pregnant, she slinks home to Templeton, NY, just as a prehistoric monster surfaces in the nearby lake.
 American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Ex-convict Shadow, newly released from prison, finds himself caught in a war between two assemblages of gods. Ancient gods led by Odin face the threat of extinction by the new gods formed by America’s obsession with technology.
