Outlander

Do you like stories with an epic romance, adventure, history, and a bit of time-travel thrown in? If  you haven't already, you might want to read Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.




You may have heard of Outlander through the buzz for the new TV series based on the book. If you didn't catch it, the entire first episode is available (legally!) online here.

All of our copies of Outlander are currently checked out, but contact us to get on the waiting list for them. If you've already read Outlander, but haven't read any of the sequels, we do currently have those available!

The Resurrectionist by Matthew Guinn

Dr. Jacob Thacker is on probation for Xanax abuse and temporarily working PR for the medical school. He is the first one contacted when a construction team uncovers a large number of human bones in the basement of the administration building. There have been rumors for years about the existence of slave remains in that building and now it may have just been confirmed. With this, we are taken back to the years working up to the Civil War where we meet Dr. Johnston and the college’s slave, Nemo. Between the two stories, both past and present, we are able to see one college’s history and the extent they once went to teach and the extent they may go to now to cover up the past. Or will they?
