Our middle grade book spotlight this week is all about Science Fiction as we celebrate the unofficial Star Wars holiday of May the Fourth!!! What I love about Science Fiction is that there are so many different types and aspects--Science Fiction is defined as anything that could possibly happen in the future and it does not mean that it has to be in outer space even though that is a common setting. Science Fiction can contain a number of topics from robots and artificial…

Our teen book spotlight this week is on books that feature books that have some unreliable narrators!! An unreliable narrator is a character who is telling their story but you have no idea if you can trust them or not; you are getting their point of view but there may have been some incidents throughout the plot that cause you not to trust their side of the story. As you read through the action, you will find yourself asking what is really going on and maybe changing your opinions…

Our titles this week are all based in or about that decade known as the Roaring ‘20s in which we were between two world wars and everyone thought life was good, but it was a time of crime, intrigue, and going against the grain.

Our teen book spotlight this week is on books that are all about fairy tale retellings! These are stories that have been inspired by books that are considered to be fairy tales that have been written in the past and are now used as inspiration for newer books. Some follow the storylines pretty consistently while others completely turn the story on its head with role reversals, different points of view, settings, or even introducing elements such as science fiction and fantasy.…
Our teen book spotlight this week is on books that are some of my favorite reads of 2023!!! These are the books that kept me reading till 3:00 in the morning (we have all been there before), left me speechless and filled with emotions (including some crying on the couch), wanting to talk about it with someone instantly, and then telling everyone else they have to read it! Some of these books are standalone titles while a few start a series; this was such a hard list to make. These…

These books and more can be found by…
