World Without End
by Ken Follett

Nearly two decades ago, Ken Follett took us on a fascinated journey into 12th-century England to witness the building of a cathedral in his epic novel The Pillars of the Earth.

Now, in World Without End, he revisits the town of Kingsbridge. Two centuries have passed and the cathedral is complete, but the townspeople find themselves battling something even greater than injustice or greed. It was the ultimate enemy of this time period, often referred to as the Black Death.

Ken Follett fans will not be disappointed with this engrossing novel.

The Choice
by Nicholas Sparks

In his 13th book, bestselling Sparks (At First Sight, etc.) limns the far-reaching implications of several seemingly ordinary choices made by Beaufort, N.C. veterinarian Travis Parker and his next-door neighbor Gabrielle Holland, a physician's assistant and recent arrival. After an inauspicious first meeting where Gabby accuses Travis's boxer of impregnating her purebred collie, the two fall hard for each other. Already dating someone else seriously, Gabby is faced with a dilemma: whether to stick with longtime boyfriend Kevin, or get involved with Travis. The first part of the tale paints a vivid picture of her decision-making process and its effects on Travis and Gabby's lives. That sets up Part II, which takes place 11 years later when Travis faces a life and death decision following a car accident. A tender and moving love story and a quick read, Sparks's latest does not disappoint.
