Shelf Life

What's new at Jacksonville Public Library:

Adult Fiction

"The Berlin Exchange" by Joseph Kanon: Berlin, 1963. This espionage thriller is set at the height of the Cold War, when a captured American who has spied for the KGB is returned to East Berlin, needing to know who arranged for his release and what they want from him. Intriguing and atmospheric, Kanon’s latest thriller confirms him as the preeminent espionage novelist of our time.

Adult Non-Fiction

"52 Ways to Walk" by Annabel Streets: Many of us are stuck in our walking routines, forever walking in the same place at the same time and at the same speed. Is there a better way to move? With the thought-provoking and evidence-backed weekly walking routine in "52 Ways to Walk," everyone is encouraged to improve how they walk, leading to increased health and happiness.

DVD

"The Dry": Federal agent Aaron Falk returns to his hometown after a 20-year absence to attend the funeral of his childhood friend Luke, who allegedly killed his wife and child before taking his own life. Falk reluctantly agrees to investigate the crime and opens up an old wound — the death of a 17-year-old girl. As he struggles to prove not only Luke’s innocence but also his own, Falk finds himself pitted against the prejudice toward him and pent-up rage of a terrified community.

Young Adult Fiction

"Ophelia After All" by Racquel Marie: Ophelia Rojas is known for her love of Cuban food, rose-gardening and her never-ending crushes on far too many boys. Even as her family teases her about her romantic nature, Ophelia is comfortable with who she is. That is, until she finds herself unable to stop thinking about cute, quiet Talia Sanchez. With graduation approaching, her once close-knit group splintering, Ophelia realizes she must make a choice between clinging to who she once thought she was and discovering who she really is.

Juvenile Fiction

"Solimar: The Sword of the Monarchs" by Pam Munoz Ryan: Award-winning author Pam Munoz Ryan weaves a tale full of magic, bravery and butterflies. Shortly before her quinceanera, princess-to-be Solimar ventures into the forest and is bestowed with the gift of seeing the near future and is designated protector of the young butterflies. With her father and brother away from home, Solimar must use her newfound powers to save her kingdom.
