It's Nonfiction NOW!
- Fiction NOW! edition.
This is my second to last episode and I thought
I would change it up with some adult fiction
this time.
I mean, what are they gonna do?
Fire me?

Oh, they still can?
Oh...
We're talking about mythology, murder, and
romance!
And that's just the first book.


I can't evil laugh.
I can't.
Mythology books are usually in nonfiction,
but Neil Gaiman who's a fiction writer has
taken years to write the Norse myths in a
modern way.
And with the mind behind the new show, 'American
Gods," this book doesn't disappoint.
You've probably seen Thor in the superhero
movies.
I'm Thoooorr!!
But Marvel movies don't capture the terrible
daring and wisdom of Odin, the great strength
and hunger of Thor, and the clever cunning
and evil nature of Loki.
These tales push the gods to Ragnarok itself
with human like motivations and passions leading
them so often astray.
Find your courage and join the ancients.
Deception is currency here.
Don't forget your mead and drink hearty!
We feast in Asgard tonight.
In "The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley," we
explore the life of a career criminal
and what kind of daughter he can raise on his own.
Always on the run, Sam decides to move to
his dead wife's hometown for good.
So begins his duaghter's, Loo's, jump into
adolescence.
Boys, booze, and fights are all ahead.
Every few chapters covers the story behind
one of Samuel Hawley's twelve bullet wounds.
But a showdown is coming for Hawley's past sins.
Will Loo survive?
Will she ever get the answers for her mother's
death from her silent father?
Hannah Tinti has the answers.
I sure hope you're ready to hear them.
You know, I never actually got into Downton
Abbey, but I might have if there had been
a few murders just like in the book "Murder
on the Serpentine."
It's an overused cliche that detectives are
either loners, alcoholics, or in some kind
of troubling marriage.
But what of a happy man and his devoted wife?
Both Charlotte and Thomas Pitt are well-developed
characters and give an honest portrayal of
the stress police work has on a marriage and family.
Anne Perry navigates upper British society
at the end of the 1900's, where one wrong
word can start a feud.
And that's a hard feat when you have to question
the future king for murder.
That ends this episode of Nonfiction NOW!
Sorry, Fiction NOW!
Check out these and many others on the new
fiction display in front of the circulation
desk.
I'm outta here!
