Lies in white dresses by Sofia Grant (AF GRAN)

Francie Meeker and Vi Carothers were sold a bill of goods: find a

man, marry him in a white wedding gown, and live happily ever

after. These best friends never expected to be on a train to Reno,

those “lies in white dresses” shattered, their marriages over.

On board the train they meet June Samples, who is fleeing an

abusive husband with her daughter, and take the vulnerable

young mother under their wing. The three decide to wait out the

required six weeks together, and then they can toss their wedding

bands into the Truckee River and start new lives as divorcees.

But just as they settle at the ranch, one shocking decision will

change their lives forever. With their fears and deceptions brought

into focus, the women are forced to come to a reckoning with the

past, and with the choices that a person in love can be driven to

make.

The summer house in Santorini by Samantha Parks

(AF PARK)

Anna’s running away. From a failed relationship, a dead-end

career and complicated family life.

On the island of Santorini, with its picturesque villas, blue-tiled

roofs, and the turquoise waters of the Aegean lapping at the

white sand beaches, Anna inherits a less-than-picturesque

summer house from her estranged father. As she rebuild the

house, she rebuilds her life, uncovering family secrets along

the way that change everything. She starts to fall for her little

slice of paradise, as well as for gorgeous, charming Nikos.

Will Anna lose her heart in more ways than one?

“When I say to a parent, ‘read to a child’, I don’t want it to sound like medicine. I want it

to sound like chocolate.” Mem Fox

The Jasmine wife by Jane Coverdale (AF COVE)

Sara Archer’s future as the dutiful wife of a British official in India seems

assured, until a chance meeting with the gorgeous and powerful Ravi

Sabran changes everything.

Under the heat of the Indian sun, the veneer of polite society wears off

quickly and soon Sara realizes nothing is as it appears to be, especially

her husband Charles.

But in the beautiful jasmine gardens of the Maharajah’s palace, Sara

follows a forbidden path. Away from her bullying husband, towards Ravi

and the long-buried secrets of her own birth.

Meant to be by Jessica James (LP JAME)

It started as a chance encounter on the beach, and ended 24

hours later when they parted to go their separate ways. Or so they

thought…

When Lauren Cantrell said goodbye to the guy she had just met on

the beach, she had no way of knowing their paths would ever

cross again. But fate had another unexpected meeting in store for

them - this time in a place where danger was part of the culture

and the stakes were life and death.

The last person in the world Rad expected to see at a special ops

briefing in Afghanistan is the girl he met at the beach two weeks

ago - the one he can’t stop thinking about.

From the sundrenched beaches of Ocean City, Maryland, to the

snowcapped mountains of Afghanistan, this thrilling tale of

espionage and intrigue takes readers on a spellbinding journey in

the secret lives of the quiet heroes, and answers the question:

What do you do when the person you most want to protect is the

one risking everything to make sure you survive?

John Flanagan

John Flanagan grew up in Sydney, Australia hoping to be a writer. It

wasn’t until he wrote a highly uncomplimentary poem about a senior

executive at the agency where he worked, however, that his talent was

revealed. It turned out one of the company directors agreed with John’s

assessment of the executive, and happily agreed to train John in

copywriting.

After writing advertising copy for the next two decades, John teamed

with an old friend to develop a television sitcom, Hey Dad!, which went

on to air for eight years.

John Flanagan’s bestselling Ranger’s Apprentice adventure series

originally comprised twenty short stories, which John wrote to

encourage his twelve-year-old son, Michael, to enjoy reading. Michael

was a small boy, and all his friends were bigger and stronger than he

was. John wanted to show him that reading was fun, and heroes weren’t necessarily big and muscular.

Now in his mid-twenties, Michael is six feet tall, broad-shouldered and powerful – but he still loves The

Ranger’s Apprentice.

The series has come a long way since then. Now sold to eighteen countries, the series has appeared on

the New York Times Best Sellers List and is regularly shortlisted in children’s book awards in Australia

and overseas.

John lives with his wife, Leonie, in the Sydney beachside suburb of Manly. He is currently writing further

titles in the Ranger’s Apprentice series. In addition to their son, they have two grown daughters and four

grandsons.

Biography from worldofjohnflanagan.com and image from penguin.com.au

The library has all of the series written by John Flanagan available for loan. Some

are also as ebooks from Wheelers ePlatform.

Finding love is never easy for anyone. Busy

schedules, grieving a breakdown of a long-term

relationship, unconventional dating methods

and social media can make the dating scene

very intimidating and complicated. Whether you

are single, divorced, a senior or just want to

seek companionship then try these books that

are available from the library.

"My great aunt was a librarian at a university

where my great uncle was studying to be a

teacher. He's very shy and thought she was pretty

so he would go in and check out books as an

excuse to talk to her. After about two months he

realised he had a huge stack of books that were

overdue that she had been too polite to remind

him about, and he sheepishly had to carry them all

back. She told him she would get rid of his fines if

he took her to dinner. Three kids and 65 years of

marriage later they're still the best couple I know."

(from cosmopolitan.com.uk)

"How my mum and stepdad met and then got

together: He was teaching a basic computing

course back in the 90s, and my mum was (and still

is) very technologically inept. She was having

some problems with a word processing document,

and needed help with something. So my stepdad

comes over to her desk, and figures out the

problem in a couple of seconds. Instead of fixing it

for her, he considered it a learning opportunity and

guided her through fixing it herself. 'Ok so right

click here...' And my mum wrote the word 'click.'

He says it was both hilarious and adorable, and

took all that he had not to burst out laughing. My

mum is always embarrassed whenever he tells the

story." (from cosmopolitan.com.uk)

A heart warming story inspired by one of Australia’s

A different dog by Paul Jennings (Junior Reader)

The forest is dense and dark. And the trail full of unexpected

perils. The dog can’t move. The boy can’t talk. And you won’t

know why. Or where you are going.

You will put this story down not wanting the journey end.

But it’s from Paul Jennings so watch out for the ambush.

Gloves off by Louisa Reid (Young Adult)

Lily is sixteen and feels utterly trapped. Bullied at school, she

doesn’t want to lay her unhappiness at her parents’ door-they

have problems of their own. When the kids at school finally go

too far, Lily and her family must face reality and decide if she’s

going to fight back or remain a victim.

But is stepping up simply about getting revenge?

Or about taking charge of her life once and for all?
