Eon 
By Alison Goodman
YA F GOODMAN
Eon has a secret, keeping it will result in either life or death. This coming of age novel takes place in feudal Asia, during a time when dragons still exist and men are the supreme rulers of everything. Could all of that be about to change??? With a strong protagonist, shrewd evil villain and unique supporting characters, this is a great fantasy in which to escape. Do not be discouraged if you think the beginning moves a bit slow. The adventure picks up quite nicely.

By Rebecca H. Jamison
ROMANCE JAMISON
Eight years ago, Anne told Neil Wentworth she’d marry him. The next day, bowing under her parents’ disapproval and her own fear that she didn’t know how to have a happy marriage, especially after watching her parents’ marriage dissolve, she broke it off. Though they went their separate ways, Anne never forgot him or found anyone else. Now Neil’s back…This is a modern retelling of Jane Austen’s classic.
