Like his fellow Reds\, he works all day\, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he toils willingly\, trusting that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children. But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class. \n

He was convinced that their estrangement would become permanent. He’s even more surprised when she invites him to her upcoming wedding in New Hampshire. It seems that Maggie failed to mention that she’s marrying Aidan Gardner\, the son of a famous tech billionaire. Feeling desperately out of place\, Frank focuses on reconnecting with Maggie and getting to know her new family. But it’s difficult: Aidan is withdrawn and evasive; Maggie doesn’t seem to have time for him; and he finds that the locals are disturbingly hostile to the Gardners.

DESCRIPTION:Join our newest book club\, the Golden Leaves Book Club\, run by Shaunty McMillin\, owner of Golden Leaf Books here in Waterford. This is a book club focused on fantasy and romantasy reads. Light refreshments will be provided. No registration necessary. We will be discussing Kushiel’s Dart by Jacqueline Carey on March 16 from 6-7. Limited copies are available for pickup at the Waterford Public Library during the month of March.  \nThe land of Terre d’Ange is a place of unsurpassing beauty and grace. It is said that angels found the land and saw it was good… and the ensuing race that rose from the seed of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt. Set in a world of cunning poets\, deadly courtiers\, heroic traitors\, and a truly Machiavellian villainess\, this is a novel of grandeur\, luxuriance\, sacrifice\, betrayal\, and deeply laid conspiracies. Not since Dune has there been an epic on the scale of Kushiel’s Dart-a massive tale about the violent death of an old age\, and the birth of a new. \n

That’s what neuroscientist Helena Smith believes. It’s why she’s dedicated her life to creating a technology that will let us preserve our most precious memories. If she succeeds\, anyone will be able to re-experience a first kiss\, the birth of a child\, the final moment with a dying parent. As Barry searches for the truth\, he comes face to face with an opponent more terrifying than any disease—a force that attacks not just our minds but the very fabric of the past. And as its effects begin to unmake the world as we know it\, only he and Helena\, working together\, will stand a chance at defeating it.

Light refreshments will be provided. No registration necessary. Please note that this book club takes place after normal library hours. We will be discussing Quicksilver by Callie Hart on May 18th from 6-7. Limited copies are available for pickup at the Waterford Public Library during the month of May. \nTwenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses\, or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen’s reservoirs for as long as she can remember. In the land of the unforgiving desert\, there isn’t much a girl wouldn’t do for a glass of water. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later\, it is bound to come undone. \nWhen Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself\, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth\, of legend\, of nightmares…but it turns out they’re real\, and Saeris has landed right in the middle of a centuries-long conflict that might just get her killed. \nThe first of her kind to tread the frozen mountains of Yvelia in over a thousand years\, Saeris mistakenly binds herself to Kingfisher\, a handsome Fae warrior\, who has secrets and nefarious agendas of his own. He will use her Alchemist’s magic to protect his people\, no matter what it costs him… or her. Death has a name. It is Kingfisher of the Ajun Gate. His past is murky. His attitude stinks. And he’s the only way Saeris is going to make it home. \n

SUMMARY:Waterford Readers Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join the library for a monthly book club! We will primarily be reading mysteries and thrillers but other genres may be included from time to time. Our pick for May 26th is The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick. Copies are available at the check-out desk for pickup during the month of May. No registration is required.

We recommend arriving at least 15 minutes prior to the start of book club if you wish to check out items or peruse our collection. \nBy early 1960s standards\, Margaret Ryan\, Viv Buschetti\, and Bitsy Cobb\, suburban housewives in a brand-new “planned community” in Northern Virginia\, appear to have it all. The fact that “all” doesn’t feel like enough leaves them feeling confused and guilty\, certain the fault must lie with them. Things begin to change when they form a book club with Charlotte Gustafson–the eccentric and artsy “new neighbor” from Manhattan–and read Betty Friedan’s just-released book\, The Feminine Mystique. But is it really the book that alters the lives of these four very different women? Or is it the bond of sisterhood that helps them find courage to confront the past\, navigate turmoil in a rapidly changing world\, and see themselves in a new and limitless light?

Maas on September 21st from 6-7. Limited copies are available for pickup at the Waterford Public Library during the month of September. \nNesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud\, swift to anger\, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will\, she’s struggled to find a place for herself within the strange\, deadly world she inhabits. Worse\, she can’t seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. \nThe one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian\, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre’s Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta’s orbit. But her temper isn’t the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable\, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. \nMeanwhile\, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance\, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. \nAgainst the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty\, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other’s arms. \n

A rising storm on the horizon. Dominic Salt and his three children are caretakers of Shearwater\, a tiny island not far from Antarctica. Home to the world’s largest seed bank\, Shearwater was once full of researchers\, but with sea levels rising\, the Salts are now its final inhabitants. Until\, during the worst storm the island has ever seen\, a woman mysteriously washes ashore. Isolation has taken its toll on the Salts\, but as they nurse the woman\, Rowan\, back to strength\, it begins to feel like she might just be what they need. Rowan\, long accustomed to protecting herself\, starts imagining a future where she could belong to someone again. But Rowan isn’t telling the whole truth about why she set out for Shearwater. And when she discovers sabotaged radios and a freshly dug grave\, she realizes Dominic is keeping his own secrets.

SUMMARY:Golden Leaves Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the Golden Leaves Book Club\, run by Shaunty McMillin\, owner of Golden Leaf Books here in Waterford. This is a book club focused on fantasy and romantasy reads. Light refreshments will be provided. No registration necessary. Please note that this book club takes place after normal library hours. We will be discussing The Lies that Summon the Night by Tessonja Odette on December 7th from 6-7. Limited copies will be available for pickup at the Waterford Public Library. \nLies\, beauty\, and seduction mingle in the first book of an enthralling romantasy series where making art is considered a sin\, and the shadows born from it aren’t the only danger to the creators—from the bestselling author of Curse of the Wolf King . \nFrom the art of liars\, the monsters came… \nEver since art gave life to bloodthirsty shadows\, creative works have been forbidden and the talented creators sacrificed to the Sinless—the immortal royals who feast on human blood in return for their protection. \nInana’s secret storytelling nearly got her killed once\, and she’ll be damned if she’s ever caught again. With a bounty on her head\, she keeps to the city’s dark underbelly where she earns a meager living from thrill-seeking patrons desperate to hear her illicit fiction. Until Dominic\, a Shadowbane\, catches one of her performances. . . \nDominic is a half-Sinless monster hunter as fearsome as his prey. But to complete his hunt\, he needs an artist to summon the shadows . . . he needs Inana. Dominic delivers an ultimatum: serve him or he’ll claim her bounty. When survival is all Inana has left\, the choice is clear. At least until she can betray him and leave him for dead. \nAs their tense alliance leads them into the heart of danger\, dark secrets unravel—about each other\, their world\, and the threats they face. But the greatest risk of all is the desire growing between them. There’s something more sinful than lust at play\, and it could bring the world to its knees. \n
