AMBER’S PICK:

Marie Antoinette’s Darkest Days

by Will Bashor

Stack Location: 944.035 BASH

Al;sdkj;alsdjf;l Will Bashor explores the final days of the

asldjlasdjf;lsada.former queen, examining her frame of mind

sdasdfasda.dasd.during her prison stay and trial, as well as the

attitudes and actions of the royalists and revolutionaries.

CHARLOTTE’S PICK:

Everything You Want Me to Be

REBEKAH’S PICK

A Ghost in the Machine

by Caroline Graham

Stack Location: M GRAH

CRYSTAL’S PICK

What If the Moon Didn’t Exist

by Neil F. Comins

Stack Location: 523.2 COMI

I didn’t expect to love this book, but from the

—————ff—first page I did! From three different

asldkfjal;skdfj;laviewpoints, it tells of the murder of small

al;sdjalsdjasldjsltown senior Hattie Hoffman. This book stayed

with me days after it ended. The setting is a small town and

there is a twist on every page.

Asl;dja;sldfjasd Fans of British mystery will be delighted by

a;lsdkal;sdkffg.fbCaroline Graham’s deceptively charming

asd;as;dkfas..kd Cotswold world. Postcard-perfect bucolic

asdlkjasldkj..als villages become the unwitting foil for furious

passions, vicious jealousies, and bloody ends, brought about by

alarmingly creative and violent means. It is Inspector Barnaby,

that bastion of unflinching composure and acerbic wit,

however, who provides the heartbeat of this series, and inspired

Midsomer Murders, the UK’s longest running detective series.

Asl;djasl;dfjasl. “What if the moon didn’t exist?” Have you

.asdlasldalsdkja spent sleepless nights plagued with questions

.asdlfkasjdfl;asj such as this? Do you drift into a seemingly

.as;ldkjal;sdkjl; weightless space as you daydream of the

possible scenarios in which our solar system was laid out

differently? Relief is here! Astronomer Neil Comins gracefully leads his readers through ten galactic situations that

radically change our outlook of the universe and our attitude of

gratitude for reality. A must-read for any star-gazing citizen.

*Disclaimer: the controversial topic of Pluto’s removal from

the planet classification is NOT addressed within Comins’

writings.

AMANDA’S PICK

Mrs. Pargeter’s Package

by Simon Brett

Stack Location: M BRET

MATT’S PICK

Odd Thomas

by Dean Koontz

Stack Location: SF KOON

RENE’S PICK

The Dry

by Jane Harper

Stack Location: M HARP

ALLISON’S PICK

The Bear and the Nightingale

by Katherine Arden

Stack Location: SF ARDE

Asdlkjasdlfja.sl Mrs. Pargeter is such a fun character! She’s

asdlkasdfasl.dadwitty and resourceful – using her late

asdasdasda..sdfjjhusband’s rolodex of shady characters to solve

asdlkjal;sdj.k.fasmysteries. This book is part of a series, but all

of Brett’s book can be enjoyed independently.

As;dlkfjas..dja Meet Odd Thomas, the unassuming young hero

asda;sldjasl.;djsthat works as a fry cook in California. He has a

asd;laskdjf.l;as huge secret that only his girlfriend, police chief,

asd;’asdka;sdk.and an eccentric author knows about. Odd sees

and converses with ghosts. He also has premonitions about the

future. He uses these talents to help the police chief solve and

prevent crimes.

Asl;dkalsdf.jas I enjoy discovering new authors and Jane

asldkal;skdj.las Harper’s debut thriller, The Dry, reads as if it

asdasl;djlasdjla was penned by a seasoned writer. Small towns

are usually full of poorly kept secrets and Kiewarra, a farming

community in Australia, has more than its share. Federal

Agent Aaron Falk returns to Kiewarra after a 20 year absence

to investigate the apparent suicide of his best friend. Full of

plot twists and well-developed characters, this was a quick

read that I suspect will have a strong following. Available on

Overdrive too.

Alsdkjasl;dasld This was a fascinating retelling of a Russian

asldkjasl;dkjalsdfolktale, with added historical and cultural

asdlkjasdl;jlsadj.aspects. Vasya grows up wild and willful,

able to see the household spirits around her. When a new

stepmother and priest attempt to banish these magical

creatures, Vasya will have to summon all of her courage to

defeat the coming darkness and ally herself with the winter’s

king.
