COMBINED PRINT & E-BOOK FICTION
Whiskey Beach
by Nora Roberts
For more than three hundred years, Bluff House has sat above Whiskey Beach, guarding its shore—and its secrets. But to Eli Landon, it’s home…
A Boston lawyer, Eli has weathered an intense year of public scrutiny and police investigations after being accused of—but never arrested for—the murder of his soon-to-be-ex wife.
He finds sanctuary at Bluff House, even though his beloved grandmother is in Boston recuperating from a nasty fall. Abra Walsh is always there, though. Whiskey Beach’s resident housekeeper, yoga instructor, jewelry maker, and massage therapist, Abra is a woman of many talents—including helping Eli take control of his life and clear his name. But as they become entangled in each other, they find themselves caught in a net that stretches back for centuries—one that has ensnared a man intent on reaping the rewards of destroying Eli Landon once and for all…
I read some review's of this book and people are saying things as "Nora Roberts is BACK!!" while others are saying "it just seems like something of hers I read before". This one doesn't seem like my cup of tea, none of my goodreads friends have marked this one as to read or anything, and I think this one is for those who likes something more still, I like some action in my books ;)

Divergent
by Veronica Roth
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is--she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. Together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are--and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her.

my review of this book"as you guys might have figured out, im not very big on those dystopia books, they are all so very depressing, like the hunger games.
But I found myself really like Divergent. i liked the story, I liked the wat they painted up some big places in America.there were some thing's i liked less, how some things went really slow in the beginning just to go way to fast nearer the end, and some things i found a bit hard to believe but strangely I still like the book." I might also add that now after some time I find myself more in love with the book. I Sometimes disappear into the Divergent world, were people don't have to struggle with finding themselves, everything is already laid out for them...
I have to say that Im not surprised with this month's best sellers in the 2 different categories. Nora is Very famous, even worldwide, and they have promoted Divergent for months and Im not surprised even more bought it, because it's such a great book
