FABULOUS FICTION
Billy Summers by Stephen King
A good guy with a bad job, Billy is a killer for hire but will only do the job if the target is a truly bad person but now he wants out. What could possibly go wrong?
How about everything.
Billy Summers is part war story, part love letter to small town America and the people who live there, and features one of the most compelling and surprising duos in King fiction, who set out to avenge the crimes of an extraordinarily evil man. It’s about love, luck, fate, and a complex hero with one last shot at redemption.
BRILLIANT BIOGRAPHIES

NOTABLE NON-FICTION
The Ferals That Ate Australia by Guy Hull
Isolation was once the impenetrable barrier that protected the unique fauna of Australia. But a little over two hundred years ago a foreign power took possession, bringing with it animals that now dominate our ecosystem and have contributed to the decimation of native species
Dangerous predators and ravenous herbivores, The Ferals that Ate Australia is the story of Australia’s feral nightmare. In this book, Guy Hull details the history and toll of the numerous animal species that have contributed to the decimation of Australian species, their assault on land and agriculture, and the modern strategies that are - hopefully - reclaiming the country for our native fauna and its human population.
