Family Saga

Jackpot Summer by Elyssa Friedland

This heartfelt, laugh-out-loud novel by Elyssa Friedland stars the Jacobson siblings, Laura, Sophie and Noah, who pitch in for a Powerball ticket — and win.

As the family drifts apart, they realize they’ll never feel truly rich until everyone is back together.

Humor

How to Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley

Filled with hilarious moments and a sweet cast of characters, this story follows Lydia, who decides to take a job running a senior citizens’ social club three days a week. Before long, Lydia learns the quirks of the members — and they are not at all what she was expecting. But when the city council threatens to sell the community center, the social club joins forces with the day care next door to save the building…and chaos ensues!

Romance

The Rom-Commers by Katherine Center

Bestselling author Katherine Center is often referred to as the “queen of comfort reads,” and her latest is another feel-good saga.
