Happy 2018! A new year means new books! Already, publishers and librarians are buzzing about several titles due out this year. Just out on Jan. 2 is The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn. This book has received rave reviews from Gillian Flynn, Stephen King, Louise Penny, and more. From Amazon.com: “twisty, powerful Hitchcockian thriller about an agoraphobic woman who believes she witnessed a crime in a neighboring house.” This debut novel is a must-read! If you are looking for the newest publications, old favorites, or books to meet your new year’s reading goals, let our staff help you! Readers of all kind, we are happy to help find the right “read” for you or your family!
