The Measure by Nikki Erlick
Available as Print | Large Print | eBook | eAudiobook
Eight ordinary people. One extraordinary choice. It seems like any other day. But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. This box holds your fate inside: the answer to the exact number of years you will live. From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise? As society comes together and pulls apart, everyone faces the same shocking choice: Do they wish to know how long they’ll live? And, if so, what will they do with that knowledge?

The Guest List by Lucy Foley
Available as Print | Large Print | eBook | eAudiobook
On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate a wedding. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned. But people are all too human. As the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast. And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why?
