THE ALCHEMIST BY PAULO COELHO
Combining magic, mysticism, wisdom and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery, The
Alchemist has become a modern classic, selling millions of copies worldwide.
Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who
yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different-
and far more satisfying-than he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us the essential
wisdom of listening to our hearts, recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens
strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, to follow our dreams.

EVERY SUMMER AFTER BY CARLEY FORTUNE
They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest
mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of spending summers in cottage country,
on the glittering lakeshore of her childhood, she stays in a stylish apartment in Toronto, keeping
everyone a safe distance from her heart. Until Percy receives the call that sends her racing back to
Barry's Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek-the man she never thought she'd have to live without.
Percy and Sam had been inseparable for six summers during their youth, through hazy afternoons on
the water and warm nights working in his family's restaurant. And when Percy returns to the lake, their
connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until she can confront the decisions she made,
they'll never know whether their love is bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past.
Told over six years in the past and one weekend in the present, Every Summer After is a gorgeously
romantic look at love and the people and choices that mark us forever.
