Other Indie FavoritesThe Unchangeable Spots of Leopards: A Novel, by Kristopher Jansma (Viking, $26.95) “Some can go along with any plot as long as the writing is fantastic. The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards is perfect for either type of book lover and is best described by these lines pulled directly from the book: ‘It is a rare sort of book that resembles nothing else and yet somehow seems intensely familiar. From the first line you feel your own heart begin to beat differently. Once it’s over you want to begin it again. It is a love letter; it is an atom bomb; it is literature we’d forgotten could be written.” —Beth Golay, Watermark Books & Café, Wichita, KS

Mr. Wilkinson’s Vegetables: A Cookbook to Celebrate the Garden, by Matt Wilkinson (Black Dog & Leventhal, $27.95) “Though the title can deceive you into thinking this is a cookbook for vegetarians, it isn’t at all. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific vegetable that takes center stage in a glorious recipe. Written in a manner that can be appreciated by the novice cook to the trained gourmet, Wilkinson’s book makes you yearn for fresh produce and the warmth of a well-stocked kitchen. This is a fabulous addition to anyone’s cookbook collection and a perfect gift for a foodie looking for something a bit out of the ordinary.” —Charles Mille, The Quiet Man Bookshop, Canadensis, PA

Another Indie FavoriteVengeance: A Novel, by Benjamin Black (Picador, $16) “If you haven’t yet discovered Benjamin Black (a.k.a. John Banville) and his marvelous creation, Dr. Quirke, then you are missing some first-rate writing and entertainment. Vengeance is the fourth in a series set in Dublin in the late 1950s featuring the good doctor, a somewhat grumpy pathologist, and his drinking and sleuthing companion, Inspector Detective Hackett. Quirke is a flawed man of many weaknesses, yet he manages to be in a state of permanent self-deprecation that he takes as a sign of virtue, and that makes him an irresistible and believable character.” —Darwin Ellis, Books on the Common, Ridgefield, CT

imagine never being able to see the sun? A
llie and her tw
o closest friends, Juliet and Rob, all
suffer from X
P, a fatal allergy to sunlight, and can only com
e out at night. Juliet introduces Allie and
Rob to Parkour—
the extreme sport of scaling
and leaping off tall buildings, dangerous by day but deadly in darkness. Even scarier is observing a m
urder taking place in one of the buildings the trio is scaling. O
nly Allie investigates the incident,
wondering w
hy Rob and Juliet are ignoring her.
Mitchard offers a thriller that w
ill keep you guessing to the very end—
