I just finished two books, The Shack by William P. Young. “This book has the potential to do for our generation what John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress did for his. It’s that good!” Eugene Peterson. This book was very good and thought provoking. Then on the lighter side I just finished the 4th installment of the Maximum Ride series, The Final Warning by James Patterson. Not as good as the others but still a fun read.
Look on the New Materials page for our new books, we have a couple James Patterson, and Mary Higgins Clark, Carol Higgins Clark, Harlan Coben and more!
Well as the school year winds down we are still reading away! I have read Airball: my life in briefs by Lisa Harkrader, which was a funny/good book and I am enjoying that new series, the Meg Langslow Mysteries, Murder with Puffins and Revenge of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos by Donna Andrews. Be sure to remember the Mother’s Day contest!
Come to the library and you could win a free keepsake album for your mother! Rolla Library is giving away a keepsake album and all you have to do is write a poem or story about your mom. Enter date deadline is May 7th, winner will be announced May 9th.
I have just started reading Peter and the Secret of Rundoon by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson, this is the third in the series, very good so far, Peter has been captured and taken to Rundoon by Ombra, the black shadowy thing! Connie has just started Wing Nut by Mary Jane Auch, one of this year’s WAW. Mandy is listening to Remember Summer by Elizabeth Lowell , an audio book from ‘Audio Books, Music and More’ that you can download with your Kansas Library Card. Also, check out our New Materials page!
I just read Killing Floor by Lee Child and have started The Avion my Uncle Flew by Cyrus Fisher, a story about a teenager at the end of World War II, the fun part is that in the book the boy is learning French and you learn right along with him.
Check out our New Materials Page, books and DVDs just waiting to be checked out!
I just finished a great new paperback, the series by Lee Child I was talking about. I read the prequel The Enemy. Very suspenseful. Also the sequel to Gideon the Cutpurse is in, The Time Thief by Linda Buckley-Archer. I also read a Interlibrary Loan book I hope to start purchasing the series, Murder with Peacocks by Donna Andrews. I am starting the book Dead Silence by Brenda Novak, The Stillwater Trilogy, one of our donated paperbacks that has gotten great reviews by patrons.
Hi, hope everyone is having a good Spring Break, I just finished Ana’s Story by Jenna Bush, the true story written by President Bush’s daughter about her time working with UNICEF. This book is very interesting and gives great info about HIV/AIDS, abuse, and how to volunteer and help others. I will be reading next the Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan, a book about the Dust Bowl that took place here in our area. Mrs. Murray just read Copper Sun by Sharon Drapper and said it is an excellent read.
I just finished the 2006 Newbery winner, Criss Cross by Lynn Rae Perkins, a coming of age book that was interesting. I am beginning the book Mentor: the kid and the CEO by Tom Pace, this book has gotten great reviews here and I am excited to read it. The book When the Black Girl Sings by Bill Wright, a new book from the Junior Library Guild, has gotten rave reviews from patrons. I have also just heard of an author and will be ordering some of his books today, “You can’t put them down, they are that good”. Lee Child is the author. Have a good week! Remember the library will be open during Spring Break, Monday through Thursday, closed for Good Friday and the Saturday before Easter.
