Even though I work at a library and I’m surrounded by books all day, sometimes I can’t figure out what to read next. I rely mostly on recommendations from other staff members and the public. I don’t belong to a book discussion group so I often ask people “what is your book group reading this month?” I can usually find a few good books that way.
I just recently finished reading the highly acclaimed book “The Help” which I thoroughly enjoyed. Afterwards, I read Jeanette Walls new book “Half Broke Horses” which I enjoyed, though not nearly as much as “The Glass Castle.” I brought home “City of Thieves” which I have not had a chance to start reading yet because I’m working on Pat Conroy’s “South of Broad.”
An easy way to find book reviews and make your selections is by checking our website. Not too many people know that we have a list of Fiction Bestsellers and Nonfiction Bestsellers complete with descriptions and reviews. You can sign up to have these newsletters emailed directly to you. If you sign up for them, send me a comment and let me know what you think. We have options where you can even look up New DVDs.

See you @ the library!
