The First Review!

‘Gigi,’ our first Advance Reader, gave Margaret Maron’s Hard Row a definite thumb’s up. For lovers of the Deborah Knott series, this will be a satisfying read when it is published in August. 'Gigi' found reading the galley a fascinating experience – she could really see where the book needed tightening up. She is eagerly anticipating her next Advance Read – Pete Hamill’s North River, so look for her mini-review in a week or so. ‘Gigi’ is a voracious reader – if you have an interest in participating in our Advance Readers Club, you might want to sign up soon before she takes all our galleys!

We want to thank all those who checked out every single copy of Jodi Picoult’s oeuvre, because it brought the deplorable state of many of the copies to our attention. For those who missed their opportunity, look at all the pristine, new copies available for checkout on the display table!

Masha Hamilton’s new novel, The Camel Bookmobile, is a priceless little story of naiveté, cultural preservation, and (close to the librarian’s heart) the distribution of books where they have never been distributed before. It is a great read, with ‘take you to Africa’ descriptions, well-developed characters, and an absolutely believable ending. If you want something off the beaten path, give it a try….
