Beyond the Best Seller

Tuesday, June 01, 2010

Summer is almost here....time to load up on poolside and backyard reading! You will find a wealth of new titles at the Library. I am recommending My Name is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira. It is a lovely debut novel about an ambitious young woman in the time of the Civil War.
Helen Simonson's Major Pettigrew's Last Stand is a charming novel with great characters and subtle humor. I loved it.
In Non Fiction pick up The Secret Life of the Grown Up Brain by Barbara Strauch. The author explains the good news about how our brains change as we age.
It is not too late to start a vegetable garden, and Raised Bed Vegetable Gardening Made Simple by Raymond Nones will show you how.

The Library has a busy Summer schedule of events for our Adult reading program, It Happened In..... The kick off is just around the corner on June 7. Look on our webpage to see the entire schedule, and make plans to attend some or all of the events. There will also be a separate blog set up for It Happened In....so look for that as well. You will be able to post book reviews and comments there.
