FAIRY TALE by Stephen King

Loner Charlie is used to living a solitary, lonely kind of life until one day he befriends a reclusive old man named Howard and his loving dog Radar. After Howard’s death, Charlie is left a note that explains there is a magical portal to a parallel world where good and evil are at war. It’s up to Charlie (and Radar) to save both worlds.

THE WORLD’S WORST ASSISTANT by Sona Movsesian

Easily one of the funniest people from behind the scenes of Conan O'Brien's life. Sona's book is funny, with lots of stories about her 12 year period being Conan's assistant, some how-to tips (like how to nap and watch TV at work), and hand-drawn comics that really make the book an easy read.

MARRIAGE PORTRAIT by Maggie O’Farrell

Following her best seller Hamnet, Maggie O’Farrell returns with another historical fiction masterpiece. Set during the Renaissance in Italy, when her sister dies on the eve of her wedding, Lucrezia de Medici unpredictably marries her late sister’s fiancé. As Lucrezia sits for the marriage portrait, she ponders her new husband's nature - whether he is a kind of sophisticate or a ruthless politician.
