“Murder Mindfully,” by Karsten Dusse Genre: Thriller Fiction

Criminal defense lawyer Björn Diemel has been given an ultimatum: repair his work-life balance, or his wife will leave him-and take their daughter. He reluctantly starts a mindfulness course, and to his surprise, it’s a revelation. When his worst client, brutal kingpin Dragan Sergowicz, tries to interfere with his precious family time, Björn will stop at nothing—not even killing—to protect his peace.

“The Feather Wars: and the Great Crusade to Save Birds,” by James H. Mccommons Genre: Nonfiction, Nature and Science

Early Americans assumed that the land’s natural resources were infinite, including its birds, which were zealously hunted for food, game and fashion. With the rapid extinction of the passenger pigeon, many realized actions needed to be taken if other birds were to be saved. What followed was both a spiritual awakening and a great crusade to save birds and their habitat.
