At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy
tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five
demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions
to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their
way through the Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the
House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors from both
sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the
Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?
They
have no choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies will never
die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp
Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that
dives into the depths of Tartarus.

3. Sycamore Row
John Grisham's A Time to Kill is one of the most popular novels
of our time. Now we return to that famous courthouse in Clanton as Jake
Brigance once again finds himself embroiled in a fiercely controversial
trial-a trial that will expose old racial tensions and force Ford County
to confront its tortured history.
Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man
dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a
sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act
that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict
as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of
Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier.

The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would
Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy
and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly? And what does it
all have to do with a piece of land once known as Sycamore Row?
In Sycamore Row,
John Grisham returns to the setting and the compelling characters that
first established him as America's favorite storyteller. Here, in his
most assured and thrilling novel yet, is a powerful testament to the
fact that Grisham remains the master of the legal thriller, nearly
twenty-five years after the publication of A Time to Kill.

5.Doctor Sleep: A Novel
Stephen King returns to the character and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining,
in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance
and the very special twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of
murderous paranormals.
On highways across America, a tribe
of people called the True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look
harmless—mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But
as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky twelve-year-old Abra Stone learns, the
True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the steam that children with
the shining produce when they are slowly tortured to death.

by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel, where he spent one horrific
childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his

crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes
“Doctor Sleep.”
Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and
it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that
reignites Dan’s own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra’s soul
and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory,
glorious story that will thrill the millions of devoted readers of The Shining and satisfy anyone new to this icon in the King canon.

“Know somebody who hasn’t met Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who or Mrs Which?
Larson’s colorful panels bring Madeline L’Engle’s brilliant time-travel
favorite to life in an exciting new way. This is page-turning eye candy
of the highest order.” --James Patterson
“This adaptation is
fabulous for presenting a fresh vision to those familiar with the
original, but it’s so true to the story’s soul that even those who’ve
never read it will come away with a genuine understanding of L’Engle’s
ideas and heart.” – Booklist, starred review
“The memorable
story of Meg Murry, Charles Wallace Murry, and Calvin O’Keefe’s
adventure across space and time is conveyed with all the intellectual
and emotional impact of the original novel.” -- BCCB
“Larson
has remained true to the story, preserving the original chapter format
and retaining L’Engle’s voice. Black-and-white artwork is accented with
blue, echoing the original cover color.”

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the
northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert
Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell
rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort:
his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his
daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the
north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural
things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving
all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season.
Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the
Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is
riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold
Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s
brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House
Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose
stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell
and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms.
Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen
House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim
the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will
purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent
sister, Daenerys.

10. Si-cology 1: Tales and Wisdom from Duck Dynasty's Favorite Uncle
As you read this book, there are a few things you have to understand: 95
percent of my stories are truthful. Every member of the Robertson
family has the God- given gift of storytelling. Hey, when you’ve sat in a
duck blind for more than half of your life, you have to figure out some
way to pass the time! It’s better than looking at Willie and Jase for
six hours! Many of the stories I like to tell happened when I was a
young boy or when I was in Vietnam. At my age, a few of the details are
cloudy, but I’ll recollect the coming stories as best I can. Hey, just
remember it isn’t a lie if you think it’s true! It’s up to you, the
reader, to figure out what’s truth and what’s fiction. Best of luck with
that, Jack! May the force be with you.

Hey, another thing you
have to know: my stories are kind of like my vocabulary. You might have
noticed I like to say “hey” quite a bit. “Hey” can mean anything. It can
mean “yes,” it can mean “maybe,” and it can mean “no.” Hey, it could
mean “next week.” The bottom line is, you have to understand “hey” to
understand me.
And if you know anything about Silas Merritt Robertson, you know I’m a hard rascal to figure out.
