This edition of “New Releases” is going to be a bit shorter. I’m not quite in the habit of doing these yet and I nearly forgot this week’s altogether!  Here are some of this week’s new releases.

The Whole Town’s Talking by Fannie Flagg – Elmwood Springs, Missouri, is a small town like any other, but something strange is happening at the cemetery. Still Meadows, as it’s called, is anything but still.
** Whoops! Looks like I read this date wrong yesterday. Amazon is now saying this one won’t be out until November 29th. Sorry for any confusion!**
