The first few days of spring have been enjoyable. It hasn’t been bad weather, but the wind seems to make it seem cooler. I am ready for green grass and flowers. My Magnolia tree is starting to bud. I hope it doesn’t turn too cold and freeze them.
Phyllis Lepke brought us some more books. She has left us quite a few. One of the books is a story about the woman who built the Brooklyn Bridge. It is the “Engineer’s Wife” by Tracey Enerson Wood. I hope to read it soon. I also ordered Kathy Reich’s book, “A Conspiracy of Bones”. I found I liked Sue Grafton’s books, so I bought three of her earlier books in paperback. I always hate it when an author I like dies.
I was a fan of Mary Higgins Clark too, so I’ve read all of her books. I ordered a book that was supposed to be her style of writing. The author is Shannon Work and her first book is “Now I See You”. It was set in Aspen Colorado. That sparked my interest because I used to live in Boulder and we drove all over Colorado.
I also ordered Lisa Gardner’s new book, “When You See Me”. A patron brought in clippings from the Sunday paper about books she thought would be good. “The Soul of a Woman” by Isabel Allene and the other is Infinite Country” by Patricia Engel. Come in and check some of these out.
Jo Bardole also donated fhree adult mysteries to the library. Jo also donated some Elizabeth Bromke books. She bought two more to fill out a series. We really appreciate donated books. Thanks to those who have brought in books for us.
Our town has decided to have our Sesquicentennial Celebration on July 31st. We hate to wait another year. If we don’t do it now we never will. I’m hoping more people will have all their shots by then. It is time to get back to our normal routine.
Happy Reading!
