Fiction:

“The Maidens” by Alex Michaelides

“Edward Fosca is a murderer. Of this Mariana is certain. But Fosca is untouchable. A handsome and charismatic Greek tragedy professor at Cambridge University, Fosca is adored by staff and students alike, particularly by the members of a secret society of female students known as The Maidens. Mariana Andros is a brilliant but troubled group therapist who becomes fixated on The Maidens when one member, a friend of Mariana’s niece Zoe, is found murdered in Cambridge. Mariana, who was once herself a student at the university, quickly suspects that behind the idyllic beauty of the spires and turrets, and beneath the ancient traditions, lies something sinister.”

Nonfiction:

“Greenlights” by Matthew McConaughey

“Drawing on the Academy Award-winning actor’s journals and diaries from the last 40 years, this book presents a uniquely McConaughey approach to achieving success and satisfaction.

‘Greenlights’ is an album, a record, a story of his life and the graces, truths, and beauties he has seen while trying to dance between the raindrops. It’s also his guide to catching more greenlights– and to realizing that the yellows and reds eventually turn green too.”
