The Case of the Missing Books by Ian Sansom
Israel Armstrong, Jewish and a vegetarian, stands out when he accepts a job in Tumdrum, Northern Ireland, where it’s assumed that, if he’s not Protestant, he must be Catholic. Hired to be a librarian, he arrives to find his library closed and his position retitled “Outreach Support Officer”—driver of the decrepit mobile library. Worse, the books he’s supposed to fill it with have disappeared. Worse yet, his new boss will accept his resignation only if he finds the missing books first. Between Israel’s inept sleuthing and the general unhelpfulness of the locals, it looks as if he’ll be in Tumdrum a long, long time.

My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult
Anna was genetically engineered to be a perfect match for her cancer-ridden older sister. Since birth, the 13-year-old has donated platelets, blood, her umbilical cord, and bone marrow as part of her family’s struggle to lengthen Kate’s life. Anna is now being considered as a kidney donor in a last-ditch attempt to save her 16-year-old sister.
