on:Curious what’s new at the library? We’re always adding the latest releases to our collection for you. A few interesting titles that have come through include:
Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen by Christopher McDougall
“Isolated by the most savage terrain in North America, the reclusive Tarahumara Indians of Mexico’s deadly Copper Canyons are custodians of a lost art. For centuries they have practiced techniques that allow them to run hundreds of miles without rest and chase down anything from a deer to an Olympic marathoner while enjoying every mile of it. Their superhuman talent is matched by uncanny health and serenity, leaving the Tarahumara immune to the diseases and strife that plague modern existence.”

More new Adult Non-Fiction:
Glenn Beck’s Common Sense
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
Cassandra’s only clue to her recently deceased grandmother’s roots is a book of fairy tales, and an inherited garden in England. If you love fairy tale inspired fiction, Kate Morton’s new release is one to add to your to-read list. This blend of enchantment and modern-day reality is part gothic mystery and part Secret Garden for grownups. While it takes a while to get used to Morton’s method of jumping between time periods, the payoff is well worth the read, and the different timelines start to merge seamlessly about a third of the way through. P.S.: The latest Sisters Grimm novel is also in: Look for The Everafter Wars, or start back at the beginning with The Fairy Tale Detectives.
