How to Survive Anything: From
Animal Attacks to the End of the World,

the ground, in the water or in the air, Mac Welch
offers useful skills and tips to increase your

FICTION
Finders Keepers, by Stephen King. John
Rothstein hasn’t written a book in years. When
disgruntled fan Morris Bellamy murders
Rothstein, he finds a stash of money and notebooks with enough content for at least one
more novel. After hiding his bounty, Bellamy
is imprisoned. Years later, a boy finds the
cache, and familiar characters from King’s Mr.
Mercedes must help the boy defeat Bellamy
when he is released from prison. This book
was creepy enough to make me thankful for
the extra daylight hours of summer.

In the Unlikely Event, by Judy Blume.
Readers, rejoice: Blume is back with her first
new novel in more than 10 years. When
Blume was a teenager, in the early 1950s,
three passenger planes crashed in the same
town within three months of one another.
She uses those real events as the backdrop of
her new novel about three generations of
families, friends and lovers. As they cope
with grief from these tragedies, they’re also
dealing with first love, familial obligations
and difficult friendships.
