This week\u2019s New Books are \u201cPunch Me Up to the Gods\u201d, a memoir by Brian Broome, \u201cLegacy\u201d by Nora Roberts, \u201cThe Saboteurs\u201d by Clive Cussler and Jack Du Brul and \u201cThe Stepsisters\u201d by Susan Mallery.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Staff Pick of the Week is \u201cEleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine\u201d by Gail Honeyman.<\/p>\n

No one\u2019s ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine<\/em><\/p>\n

Meet Eleanor Oliphant: she struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she\u2019s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding unnecessary human contact, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy.<\/em><\/p>\n

But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen, the three rescue one another from the lives of isolation that they had been living. Ultimately, it is Raymond\u2019s big heart that will help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one. If she does, she’ll learn that she, too, is capable of finding friendship\u2014and even love\u2014after all.<\/em><\/p>\n

Smart, warm, uplifting, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is the story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes… <\/em>the only way to survive is to open your heart.<\/em><\/p>\n
