Take a trip through time

Hi. I'm on vacation and haven't been reading as much as I usually do. Today I finished "The time traveler's wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. Wow. I found it hard to get started, due to all the jumping around through time. Once I got into it I loved it. It's the love story of Henry and Clare. Henry, a time traveler, first meets Clare when she is six years old. It follows their lives as they meet, fall in love and marry. And all the while Henry is jumping forward and backward through time. And one of the neat things about it - Henry is a librarian.
If you're looking for a good book, I would suggest this one. Then find yourself a bit of shade and enjoy. In this heat you might forego the shade and find yourself a coffee shop and an iced coffee, at least that's what I did. Happy summer reading and enjoy the upcoming long weekend.

Great Weekend Reading

It has been a busy week at the library, and most delightful to me has been the number of fiction books we have checked out. I think everyone is reading this summer! I hope you have a couple you want to include on your menu. I have been relaxing with a mystery this week. I am reading Wild Fire by Nelson DeMille. I think I am just enjoying the plot driven writing and quick humour. Write a comment on our blog, we would love to hear from you!

"Playing James"

Hi. This week I'm reading a book that a family member lent to me (the library also carries this book). It's called "Playing James" by Sarah Mason. If I had to describe the main character, Holly Colshannon, I would say she's the British Stephanie Plum. From the start this book had the feel of a Janet Evanovich novel. Holly is a newly appointed crime reporter with a local newspaper. She is assigned a police detective to work with, on a special feature, and he does not like her. It's funny and a light read. I'm really enjoying it. It would be a good summer read. Enjoy.
