An evil king has been toppled\, and they are left to face the consequences of the reluctant role they played in his reign of terror. Now they are hated and alone\, exiled to the outskirts of society. \nThroughout the land\, hushed voices whisper of brittle ground and a faint scent of brimstone in the air—and Murtagh senses that something wicked lurks in the shadows of Alagaësia. So begins an epic journey into lands both familiar and untraveled\, where Murtagh and Thorn must use every weapon in their arsenal\, from brains to brawn\, to find and outwit a mysterious witch. A witch who is much more than she seems. \nIn this gripping novel starring one of the most popular characters from Christopher Paolini’s blockbuster Inheritance Cycle\, a Dragon Rider must discover what he stands for in a world that has abandoned him. \nMurtagh is the perfect book to enter the World of Eragon for the first time . . . or to joyfully return.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Nina Totenberg
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Friendships with NPR Legal Affairs Correspondent Nina Totenberg\nRegister and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nYou are invited to an intimate conversation with Nina Totenberg as she talks about her nearly fifty-year friendship with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her book Dinners With Ruth: A Memoir on the Power of Friendships. \nFour years before Nina Totenberg was hired at NPR\, where she cemented her legacy as a prizewinning reporter\, and nearly twenty-two years before Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court\, Nina called Ruth. A reporter for The National Observer\, Nina was curious about Ruth’s legal brief\, asking the Supreme Court to do something to declare law that discriminated “on the basis of sex” to be unconstitutional. In a time when women were fired for becoming pregnant\, often could not apply for credit cards or get a mortgage in their own names\, Ruth patiently explained her argument. That call launched a remarkable\, nearly fifty-year friendship. \nDinners with Ruth is an extraordinary account of two women who paved the way for future generations by tearing down professional and legal barriers. It is also an intimate memoir of the power of friendships as women began to pry open career doors and transform the workplace. At the story’s heart is one\, special Ruth and Nina saw each other not only through personal joys\, but also illness\, loss\, and widowhood. During the devastating illness and eventual death of Nina’s first husband\, Ruth drew her out of grief; twelve years later\, Nina would reciprocate when Ruth’s beloved husband died. They shared not only a love of opera\, but also of shopping\, as they instinctively understood that clothes were armor for women who wanted to be taken seriously in a workplace dominated by men. During Ruth’s last year\, they shared so many small dinners that Saturdays were “reserved for Ruth” in Nina’s house. Dinners with Ruth also weaves together compelling\, personal portraits of other fascinating women and men from Nina’s life\, including her cherished NPR colleagues Cokie Roberts and Linda Wertheimer; her beloved husbands; her friendships with multiple Supreme Court Justices\, including Lewis Powell\, William Brennan\, and Antonin Scalia\, and Nina’s own family—her father\, the legendary violinist Roman Totenberg\, and her “best friends\,” her sisters. \nCelebrated NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg delivers an extraordinary memoir of her personal successes\, struggles\, and life-affirming relationships. Inspiring and revelatory\, Dinners with Ruth is a moving story of the joy and true meaning of friendship. \nAbout the Author: NINA TOTENBERG is NPR’s award-winning legal affairs correspondent. She appears on NPR’s critically acclaimed news magazines All Things Considered\, Morning Edition\, and Weekend Edition\, and on NPR podcasts\, including The NPR Politics Podcast and its series\, “The Docket.” Totenberg’s Supreme Court and legal coverage has won her every major journalism award in broadcasting. Recognized seven times by the American Bar Association for continued excellence in legal reporting\, she has received more than two dozen honorary degrees. A frequent TV contributor\, she writes for major newspapers\, magazines\, and law reviews.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Jason Mott
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Identity\, Love\, and Being Black in America in Fiction Writing: A Conversation with Award-Winning Author Jason Mott\nRegister and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nYou’re invited to join us as we talk to New York Times bestselling author Jason Mott about his recent novel Hell of a Book. This magnificent work of fiction is deeply honest\, at times electrically funny\, and is a book that goes to the heart of racism\, police violence\, and the hidden costs exacted upon Black Americans and America as a whole. \nIn Hell of a Book\, a Black author sets out on a cross-country publicity tour to promote his bestselling novel. That storyline drives Hell of a Book and is the scaffolding of something much larger and more urgent: Mott’s novel also tells the story of Soot\, a young Black boy living in a rural town in the recent past\, and The Kid\, a possibly imaginary child who appears to the author on his tour. \nAs these characters’ stories build and converge\, they astonish. While this heartbreaking and magical book entertains and is at once about family\, love of parents and children\, art and money\, it’s also about the nation’s reckoning with a tragic police shooting playing over and over again on the news. And with what it can mean to be Black in America. \nUnforgettably told\, with an electrifying plot and characters who burn into your mind\, Hell of a Book is the novel Mott has been writing in his head for the last ten years. And in its final twists\, it truly becomes its title. Register now! \nAbout the Author: Jason Mott is the author of two poetry collections and four novels. His first novel\, The Returned\, was adapted for television and aired on ABC under the title “Resurrection.” Since then\, his novels that followed have received various accolades and acclaim. His most recent novel\, Hell of a Book\, won the Sir Walter Raleigh Award for Fiction Winner\, was a Carnegie Medals For Excellence Longlist nominee\, and the winner of the 2021 National Book Award for Fiction. He lives in hermitude in Southeastern North Carolina.

SUMMARY:The Genealogy Roll-Up:
DESCRIPTION:The Essential Shortcut Every Genealogist Needs\nThis program is about tracking your genealogy research and planning what comes next.\n \nFrom our Speaker:\nI’m Jennifer\, and I’m an Occasional Genealogist… sort of. Like many of you\, I started as an Occasional Genealogist. I had to squeeze research into my free time. Then I got my first genealogy job and for awhile\, it was genealogy all the time! Now I have two kids. I do other people’s genealogy constantly but my own? Coming up with ways to do great genealogy\, despite the interruptions\, is mandatory. \n  \nThis program is a joint presentation of Willard Public Library and the Tri State Genealogical Society and will be held in the Browning Gallery at Willard Public Library. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Tessa Bailey
DESCRIPTION:Spice\, Spirit\, and Swoon–A Guaranteed Happily Ever After with Rom-Com Author Tessa Bailey\nRegister and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nJoin us as the #1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey talks about the launch of her new super hot sports romance duology with a rom-com about a bad boy professional athlete who falls for his biggest fan in her new book Fangirl Down. \nWells Whitaker was once golf’s hottest rising star\, but lately\, all he has to show for his “promising” career is a killer hangover\, a collection of broken clubs\, and one remaining supporter. No matter how bad he plays\, the beautiful\, sunny redhead is always on the sidelines. He curses\, she cheers. He scowls\, she smiles. But when Wells quits in a blaze of glory\, and his fangirl finally goes home\, he knows he made the greatest mistake of his life. \nJosephine Doyle believed in the gorgeous\, grumpy golfer\, even when he didn’t believe in himself. Yet after he throws in the towel\, she begins to wonder if her faith was misplaced. Then a determined Wells shows up at her door with a wild proposal: be his new caddy\, help him turn his game around\, and split the prize money. And considering Josephine’s professional and personal life is in shambles\, she could really use the cash… \nAs they travel together\, spending days on the green and nights in neighboring hotel rooms\, sparks fly. Before long\, they’re inseparable\, Wells starts winning again\, and Josephine is surprised to find a sweet\, thoughtful guy underneath his gruff\, growly exterior. But Wells is technically her boss\, and an athlete falling for his fangirl would be ridiculous… right? You’ll have to register to find out! \nAbout the Author: #1 New York Times bestselling author Tessa Bailey can solve all problems except for her own\, so she focuses those efforts on stubborn\, fictional blue-collar men and loyal\, lovable heroines. She lives on Long Island\, avoiding the sun and social interactions\, then wonders why no one has called. Dubbed the “Michelangelo of dirty talk” by Entertainment Weekly\, Tessa writes with spice\, spirit\, swoon\, and a guaranteed happily ever after.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Dr. Robert Lustig
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nDr. Robert Lustig\, Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food\, Nutrition\, and Modern Medicine\, Tuesday\, January 30th  \nLaunch your New Year healthy with Dr. Robert Lustig\, a pediatric neuroendocrinologist who has long been on the cutting edge of medicine and science. Dr. Lustig’s book\, Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food\, Nutrition\, and Modern Medicine\, weaves the interconnected strands of nutrition\, health/disease\, medicine\, environment\, and society into a completely new fabric by proving on a scientific basis a series of iconoclastic revelations\, among them: \n\nMedicine for chronic disease treats symptoms\, not the disease itself\nYou can diagnose your own biochemical profile \nChronic diseases are not “druggable\,” but they are “foodable” \nProcessed food isn’t just toxic\, it’s addictive\nThe war between vegan and keto is a false war—the combatants are on the same side\nBig Food\, Big Pharma\, and Big Government are on the other side\n\nHe insists that if we do not fix our food and change the way we eat\, we will continue to court chronic disease\, bankrupt healthcare\, and threaten the planet. But there is hope: his book and this webinar explain what’s needed to fix all three. Dr. Lustig offers a doable plan for us to heal and restore our health and well-being with real food and\, in the process\, boost our immunity to viruses like Covid-19.

Did you know that a large financial portfolio\, an estate plan\, and long-term care insurance won’t be enough to prevent your dream retirement from becoming a disaster in the United States?

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Rebecca Serle
DESCRIPTION:Register and view future Author Talks here: https://libraryc.org/willardlib \nJoin us as we kick off the New Year talking to Rebecca Serle about her journey writing epic love stories to span generations. Learning the love story formula with Serle\, we’ll chat with the author about her New York Times bestselling novels\, One Italian Summer\, In Five Years\, The Dinner List\, and many more. \nAdditionally\, in a special preview\, Serle will briefly discuss her forthcoming novel (due out on March 5\, 2024) Expiration Dates. In Expiration Dates\, Daphne Bell believes the universe has a plan for her. Every time she meets a new man\, she receives a slip of paper with his name and a number on it—the exact amount of time they will be together. The papers told her she’d spend three days with Martin in Paris; five weeks with Noah in San Francisco; and three months with Hugo\, her ex-boyfriend turned best friend. Daphne has been receiving the numbered papers for over twenty years\, always wondering when there might be one without an expiration. Finally\, on the night of a blind date at her favorite Los Angeles restaurant\, there’s only a name: Jake. \nTold with her signature warmth and insight into matters of the heart\, Rebecca Serle has finally set her sights on romantic love. The result is a gripping\, emotional\, passionate\, and (yes) heartbreaking novel about what it means to be single\, what it means to find love\, and ultimately how we define each of them for ourselves. Expiration Dates is the one fans have been waiting for. Start your year with love and register now! \nAbout the Author: Rebecca Serle is the New York Times bestselling author of Expiration Dates\, One Italian Summer\, In Five Years\, The Dinner List\, and the young adult novels The Edge of Falling and When You Were Mine. Serle also developed the hit TV adaptation Famous in Love\, based on her YA series of the same name. She is a graduate of USC and The New School and lives in Los Angeles with her husband.
