Never Go Back By Lee Child

In the wilds of South Dakota, Reacher was struck by the voice—and the person with the voice—of Major Susan Turner, who was introduced in 61 Hours. Since ‘meeting’ her from afar, Reacher has slowly but surely been working his way east, and in NEVER GO BACK, he finally arrives in DC. But instead of walking into her office and meeting Susan face-to-face, Reacher walks into something even he couldn’t anticipate—he’s told he’s been drafted back into the Army.

This is a Jack Reacher novel you won’t want to put down! For some, his brute strength and sheer physicality are his dominant traits. For others, it’s the razor-sharp instincts and mental processes that make him a force to be reckoned with. But no matter the image you have, one thing is for certain—anti-hero Jack Reacher is one of the most iconic protagonists of contemporary suspense fiction.

Lee Child is the author of eighteen Jack Reacher thrillers, including the New York Times bestsellers A Wanted Man, Persuader, The Enemy, One Shot, and The Hard Way, and the #1 bestsellers The Affair, Worth Dying For, 61 Hours, Gone Tomorrow, Bad Luck and Trouble, and Nothing to Lose, as well as the short stories “Second Son” and “Deep Down.” His debut, Killing Floor, won both the Anthony and the Barry awards for Best First Mystery, and The Enemy won both the Barry and Nero awards for Best Novel. Foreign rights in the Reacher series have sold in more than forty territories. All titles have been optioned for major motion pictures, the first of which—Jack Reacher—was released in December 2012 featuring Tom Cruise as Reacher. A native of England and a former television director, Child lives in New York City, where he is at work on his next thriller.

CONTAGIOUS: Why Things Catch On.

 

Jonah Berger has spent the past decade studying social influence, and his research and ideas are often featured in publications like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Science and countless others. In CONTAGIOUS, Berger combines his groundbreaking research with powerful stories to explain the secret science behind word-of-mouth and social transmission.

We all know ideas and information spread through word-of-mouth. But according to Berger, the key to making things really popular happens long before it’s discussed at the water cooler or “liked” online. It starts with the message.

New York Times Bestseller, Celebrity Fitness & Nutrition expert offers his tips to stay healthy during National Heart Health Month

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for Americans, and yet many Americans still maintain unhealthy diets, packing pounds while never exercising.

Harley understands that for many Americans, substituting certain foods with a combination of easy exercise, is the recipe for a healthier life.  And, in celebration of National Heart Health Month, Harley is teaming up with Planters to spread the word that peanuts are a heart healthy food.

Check out this segment featuring Harley offering his tips on how to stay healthy:


Scientific evidence suggests (but does not prove) that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as peanuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol and not resulting in increased caloric intake may reduce the risk of heart disease (according to the FDA).

LIVE BY NIGHT by Dennis Lehane

Dennis Lehane is a force to be reckoned with. His bestselling novels include Gone, Baby Gone, Mystic River, Shutter Island, The Given Day, and Moonlight Mile, and big-screen adaptations have been helmed by Ben Affleck, Clint Eastwood, and Martin Scorsese. Called “as much social historian as mystery writer,” by The Chicago Tribune, Lehane once again showcases his ability to create suspenseful historical fiction with his first stand-alone novel in four years. The popularity of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and Ken Burns’ Prohibition mini-series have set the stage for LIVE BY NIGHT, a Prohibition-era tale that catapults readers between 1920s Boston and Florida, introducing a cast of hard-living gangsters, petty criminals, and two unforgettable dames. This novel released just two weeks ago is already on the New York Times Bestseller List.

David Baldacci Does It Again with THE INNOCENT

When the U.S. government calls on hitman Will Robie, he never questions his orders and always gets his target. Except this mission is anything but normal. Unlike his other targets, which have taken him from Edinburgh to Tangier, this one lands in his own backyard of Washington, D.C. And this time Robie does the unthinkable and refuses to kill—putting his life in the crosshairs of his own people.
