\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Staff Pick of the Week is \u201cBlind Tiger\u201d by Sandra Brown. From the book jacket:<\/p>\n The year 1920 comes in with a roar in this rousing and suspenseful novel by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown. Prohibition is the new law of the land, but murder, mayhem, lust, and greed are already institutions in the Moonshine Capitol of Texas.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Thatcher Hutton, a war-weary soldier on the way back to his cowboy life, jumps from a moving freight train to avoid trouble . . . and lands in more than he bargained for. On the day he arrives in Foley, Texas, a local woman goes missing. Thatcher, the only stranger in town, is suspected of her abduction, and worse. Standing between him and exoneration are a corrupt mayor, a crooked sheriff, a notorious cathouse madam, a sly bootlegger, feuding moonshiners . . . and a young widow whose soft features conceal an iron will.<\/em><\/p>\n What was supposed to be a fresh start for Laurel Plummer turns to tragedy. Left destitute but determined to dictate her own future, Laurel plunges into the lucrative regional industry, much to the dislike of the good ol\u2019 boys, who have ruled supreme. Her success quickly makes her a target for cutthroat competitors, whose only code of law is reprisal. As violence erupts, Laurel and\u2014now deputy\u2014Thatcher find themselves on opposite sides of a moonshine war, where blood flows as freely as whiskey.<\/em><\/p>\n New Movies are \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy Volume 3\u201d starring Chris Pratt and Zoe Saldana, \u201cThe Goonies\u201d starring Sean Astin and Josh Brolin, \u201cMinority Report\u201d starring Samantha Morton and Tom Cruise starring Peter Weller and Tom Berry.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n TD Summer Reading Club BINGO Challenge: <\/strong>It was great to see all of the readers participating in our BINGO challenge!
