THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM

Random House

John Grisham

We all remember The Firm whether you read the book or you watched the film. John Grisham continues the story of what happened to Mitch and Abby McDeere once they exposed the crimes of Memphis law firm Bendini, Lambert & Locke and fled the country.

In The Exchange: After the Firm, we're 15 years after all of the events that took place in the first book. The couple now live in Manhattan and Mitch is a partner at the largest law firm in the world. A favor from a mentor in Rome puts him squarely in the middle of a sinister plot that could affect everyone that he knows! We know that Mitch knows how to stay ahead, but will he be able to continue with so much at stake?

THAT CHEESE PLATE WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

The Dial Press

Marissa Mullen

One of our favorite Instagram accounts to follow is @CheeseByNumbers which walks you through how to create stellar cheese plates through videos that lay out what you need for your desired look. Being that we can never get enough cheese, we were very excited to hear about Marissa Mullen's new book that is the next coffee table book that we will actually enjoy doing as we have time on our hands!

What we love about her approach is that she breaks down the cheese plate by laying out what you need in terms of the cheese, meat, produce, dips, crunch and garnish.

It's a great way to get creative and will change all of your future gatherings as well as create at home Instagram worthy moments! You can also enhance it by adding your favorite beverages to make it an occasion whether it's watching a movie, having a friend swing by or to do the ultimate self-care solo!

CAMINO WINDS

Doubleday

John Grisham

We have been fans of John Grisham since his first novel, A Time to Kill. His ability to take legal situations and make them into gripping thrillers that also became movies includes: The Firm, The Client and more, means that we know when he releases another book, we need to get on it!

Camino Winds takes place at Camino Island, Florida. Bruce's Cable Bay Books is preparing for bestselling author Mercer Mann. In addition to this arrival, Hurrican Leo decides to also head to the island. As the governor decrees a mandatory evacuation and residents board their homes and head to the mainland, Bruce decides to ride out the storm.

We're introduced to an eclectic assortment of mystery and crime authors - some which are felons who discover that Nelson Kerr, a friend of Bruce's and an author of thrillers has been murdered! Who would want him killed?

As officials are focused on the storm and its aftermath, this assembled group decides that they will solve the murder on their own. They all learn that the plot twists are even more dangerous than his novels.
