NEVER GIVE UP! BY JOYCE MEYER
Description from Crossings Christian Book Club: "In Never Give Up!, Joyce Meyer assures you that God didn’t anoint you with the power of the Holy Spirit to be a quitter. And Joyce is well-qualified when it comes to never giving up. She overcame an abusive childhood, a bad marriage and extremely limited opportunities to become one of the most popular author/speakers in the world. If anyone knows how to hold on to a dream and realize it, it's Joyce. Never Give Up! is packed with true-life examples of people who pursued their goals relentlessly. You’ll meet nearly 50 individuals who prevailed against all odds—and emerged victorious. From the builder of the Brooklyn Bridge to the inventers of Post-It notes, you’ll meet people like African-American Bessie Coleman, who had to go to flight school in Paris to learn to fly. But she did, and became the first woman in America to earn her pilot’s license in 1920. No matter what you have to overcome, make the decision that you are never going to give up! If you do what God tells you to do, no person, no disability nor your past will keep you from success. Don’t miss the new beginning God planned for you. There’s no way you can fail if you’re determined to do what God calls you to do. Never give up!"

BREATHLESS BY DEAN KOONTZ
Description from Literary Guild Book Club: "There’s little about carpenter Grady Adams, a strong and gentle man who lives a solitary life deep in the Colorado mountains, to suggest the experiences that alienated him from society. But the day he comes upon a pair of magnificent furry animals that are clearly from an unknown species, everything changes. Grady is intrigued, to say the least, and after a few more encounters he manages to befriend the enchanting creatures. By that time he’s enlisted his friend, veterinarian Camellia 'Cammy' Rivers, to help him observe their actions. Yet neither Grady nor Cammy are aware that they, too, are being watched. There couldn’t be a more apt title for Dean Koontz’s new edge-of-the-seat thrill ride than Breathless. For Grady feels the wind knocked out of him when, out of the blue, his home and untold miles of surrounding wilderness are put under strict quarantine by a virtual army of close-mouthed government operatives. But we’re the ones left gasping by a stunning, unforeseen event that convinces Grady and Cammy to do the unthinkable: to escape, taking the two creatures they’ve adopted and feel they must protect at all costs on a riveting race for freedom."

THE 9TH JUDGMENT BY JAMES PATTERSON
Description from Literary Guild Book Club: "A young mother and her infant child are ruthlessly gunned down while returning to their car in the garage of a shopping mall. There are no witnesses, and Detective Lindsay Boxer is left with only one bizarre piece of evidence: a cryptic message hastily scrawled across the victim’s windshield in lipstick the color of blood. That very same night, the wife of A-list actor Marcus Dowling is awakened by a cat burglar intent on stealing precious jewels worth countless millions. Later, the discovery of a nearly empty safe proves he got hold of the goods. But what he also left behind was a lifeless body, and the news of not one but two murders throws the city of San Francisco into panic mode. Desperate for answers, Lindsay spends every waking hour working with her partner, Rich—and her desire for him threatens to tear apart both her engagement and the Women's Murder Club. But before Lindsay and her friends can piece together either case, one of the killers forces Lindsay to put her own life on the line. The question is, will it be enough to save the city?"

HOUSE RULES BY JODI PICAULT
Description from Doubleday Book Club: "Jodi Picoult’s harrowing and heart-wrenching new novel, House Rules, tells the story of a single mother whose teenaged son is locked in a world where ordinary rules don’t apply…unless you kill someone. Emma Hunt never complains. Not when she learned that Jacob, her brilliant first child, had Asperger’s syndrome, a high-functioning form of autism. And not when her husband, unable to cope, left her while pregnant with Theo, her youngest. Instead, Emma manages. Her job writing an advice column puts food on the table and allows her flexibility should Jacob, now a senior in high school, have one of his terrifying meltdowns. But thankfully, Jacob’s interest in forensic analysis has become an obsession that keeps him focused—maybe too much. When Jacob’s life-skills coach, a lovely young college student, is found murdered and Jacob is questioned, his intimate knowledge of the crime scene compounded by his discomfiting tics and twitches infer guilt, and earn him an indictment for murder. With her signature sensitivity, Picoult shines a light on what it means to be different in a harsh, judgmental world and the profound effect it has on a troubled family."

LEGACY OF ASHES BY TIM WEINER
Description from the Progressive Book Club: "For the last 60 years, the CIA has managed to maintain a formidable reputation in spite of its terrible record, burying its blunders in top-secret archives. Its mission was to know the world. When it did not succeed, it set out to change the world. Its failures have handed us, in the words of President Eisenhower, 'a legacy of ashes.' Now Pulitzer Prize–winning author Tim Weiner offers the first definitive history of the CIA—and everything is on the record. The best-selling Legacy of Ashes is based on more than 50,000 documents, primarily from the archives of the CIA itself, and hundreds of interviews with CIA veterans, including ten directors of central intelligence. It takes the CIA from its creation after World War II, through its battles in the Cold War and the war on terror, to its near-collapse after 9/11. With shocking revelations that made headlines in papers across the country, Weiner gets at the truth behind the CIA and uncovers why nearly every CIA director has left the agency in worse shape than he found it—and how these profound failures jeopardize our national security. Legacy of Ashes won the National Book Award for Nonfiction. The Washington Post called it 'must reading for anyone interested in the CIA or American intelligence since World War II.' "

GOING ROGUE BY SARAH PALIN
Description from Conservative Book Club: "In September 2008, Alaska Governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention that electrified the GOP's conservative base. But as the campaign unfolded, Palin became a lightning rod for criticism. Democrats, forgetting feminism, mocked her as an empty-headed beauty queen and bad mother, while some GOP insiders leaked complaints to the press that she was 'going rogue' as an outspoken conservative. Now, in her eagerly anticipated memoir, Going Rogue, Sarah Palin tells her side of the story -- about her life, her family, her principles, her career, her vice-presidential candidacy. . . and her possible political future."

BIG GIRL BY DANIELLE STEEL
Description from Doubleday Book Club: "From the time she was a little girl, Victoria Dawson knew her extremely attractive parents couldn’t believe they, of all people, produced a plain, chubby child. No wonder they adored beautiful Grace, who came along seven years later. That Victoria also loved her little sister is no surprise; Grace didn’t care how she looked. And when Victoria, years later, moves to New York and gets a job teaching in an exclusive private school, their bond remains solid. But after years of rejection by her parents, Victoria continues to feed her low self-esteem with empty calories that never seem to fill the hole in her heart…until she meets Collin, a handsome man who sees her beauty, inside and out. Victoria wonders, could her parents have been wrong? Could it be that she is loveable after all? Suddenly, for the first time in her life, Victoria feels special. But then her relationship with Grace is drastically altered when Grace marries an exact replica of their narcissistic father and worse, begins seeing Victoria through his eyes. Danielle Steel’s unique sensitivity has never been more profound than in Big Girl, as she reminds us that within every plain Jane resides a lovely swan waiting to be set free."

FORD'S COUNTRY BY JOHN GRISHAM
Description from Literary Guild Book Club: "Just when you think John Grisham couldn’t get any better, he does something not only fantastic, but totally new. Fans of the #1 New York Times phenom will be thrilled to know that in Ford County, he returns to the setting for his immensely popular first novel, A Time to Kill, with a collection of stories that remind us why he is America’s favorite teller of tales. The page turning begins with Blood Drive, in which a gathering of neighbors fear for young Bailey, who’s in a hospital in Memphis and in need of blood after taking a tumble at a construction site. That’s when three unreliable 'friends' set off to be heroes, with some laugh-out-loud results. In Fetching Raymond, a mother of three sons, who have spent more time in prison than out, is faced with the possibility that her youngest boy’s current stay may be coming to the horrifying end she’d never believed possible. Whether it’s the tale of hard luck lawyer who gets the case that can change his life -- only to find out it comes with major collateral damage -- or the story of a local swindler who finally gets his comeuppance, Grisham’s return to Ford County is delayed gratification that’s been well worth the wait."

UNDER THE DOME BY STEPHEN KING
Description from Doubleday Book Club: "On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when--or if--it will go away. Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens--town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician's assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing--even murder--to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out."

SAVOR THE MOMENT BY NORA ROBERTS
Description from Doubleday Book Club: "In Savor the Moment, the third book in the irresistible Bride Quartet series, Nora Roberts takes us down the aisle once again, this time with a feisty young woman who knows what she wants…but is unsure how to get it. Just because wedding baker Laurel McBane is surrounded by romance every day—she works at Vows wedding planning company with her best friends Parker, Emma and Mac—doesn’t mean she covets all the luxuries of which their clients can’t seem to get enough. She’s way too low-key for such extravagances. What Laurel does appreciate, though, is a strong, intelligent man, a man just like Parker’s older brother, Delaney, on whom she’s had a mega-crush since they were kids. Unfortunately, some infatuations last longer than others, and Laurel is convinced that the handsome Ivy League lawyer she still daydreams about is, as always, out of her reach. Plus, Del is too protective of Laurel to ever cross the romantic line with her…or so she thinks. When one of Laurel’s quicksilver moods get the better of her, leading to an angry, hot, all-together mind-blowing kiss with Del, can she quiet the doubts in her mind to turn a moment of passion into happily-ever-after true love?"

The only bright spot in her life is her relationship with Eric Northman, which seems to be going well. She thinks she loves him, though she worries that her emotions might be a result of their having shared blood. All Sookie wants is peace and quiet and the chance to heal, but peace and quiet are hard to come by. Because of their relationship, Eric is under scrutiny by the new Vampire King. The political ramifications of the Shifters coming out are beginning to be felt, and her connection to the Shreveport pack draws her into the debate. Though the door to Faery has been closed, there are still some Fae on the human side—and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very, very angry…."
