“A near-perfect Doctor Who adventure.”
—Publishers Weekly

Based on the beloved Doctor Who episode of the same name, once again it's up to the Doctor to uncover an audacious alien scheme filled with homemade time machines, the theft of the Mona Lisa, the resurrection of the Jagaroths, and the beginning (or possibly the end) of all life on Earth.

SCI-FI & FANTASY STAFF PICKS

Katherine Perkins is an Assistant Editor at Putnam Books for Young Readers. With parents in engineering and medicine and four siblings, Katherine is (so far) the only one in her family to choose a career in the arts over the sciences. She's also the only one of them in multiple book clubs (these two facts are probably related).

The Secret Chord

Geraldine Brooks

“A page turner.” —Alice Hoffman

A rich and utterly absorbing novel about the life of King David, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of People of the Book and March. Peeling away the myth to bring David to life in Second Iron Age Israel, Brooks traces the arc of his journey from obscurity to fame, from shepherd to soldier, from hero to traitor, from beloved king to murderous despot and into his remorseful and diminished dotage.

After You

Jojo Moyes

“[The] charming sequel to Me Before You.” —People Magazine

How do you move on after losing the person you loved? How do you build a life worth living? For Louisa Clark, life after Will Traynor means learning to fall in love again, with all the risks that brings. But here Jojo Moyes gives us two families, as real as our own, whose joys and sorrows will touch you deeply, and where both changes and surprises await.

The Hours Count

Jillian Cantor

“A gorgeous, thrilling novel.” —Popsugar

On June 19, 1953, Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were executed for conspiring to commit espionage. The day Ethel was first arrested in 1950, she left her two young sons with a neighbor, and she never came home to them again. Brilliantly melding fact and fiction, Jillian Cantor reimagines the life of that neighbor, and the life of Ethel and Julius, an ordinary-seeming Jewish couple who became the only Americans put to death for spying during the Cold War.

Some of you have mentioned sharing some of the books I get when I shop or buy online or get books from publishers so I decided to make a post for those of you that wanted to know what's being added to Krissy's Bookshelf today.

The list of books is separated by print books purchased on the cheap, e-books bought for free, and print / e-books received from publishers and galleys.
