One of the Library's new books is The Book of Longings by Sue Monk Kidd who also wrote The Secret Life of Bees among other books. The book is about Ana who lives during the time of Jesus. This is a time when women were essentially to be uneducated and silent. Ana is ambitious, curious, smart, and rebellious which puts her at odds with society. Then, she meets 18-year-old Jesus. They are drawn to each other and marry. The author has done meticulous research on this time period and writes with reverence. This historical fiction will be sure to hold your interest. Another of our new books is The Persuasion by Iris Johansen. This is book 27 with Johansen's famous character Eve Duncan. Eve is a forensic sculptor whose daughter Jane has caught the interest of a violent psychopath. Eve must do whatever she can to keep Jane safe. This is a great kick-back summer read. We are hoping our library will be open soon as I'm sure many of you are. In the meantime, stay safe and well. "I'm completely library educated. I never went to college. I went down to the library in grade school, in Waukegan, and in high school in Los Angeles, and spent long days every summer in the library. I used to steal magazines from a store on Genesee, in Waukegan, and read them and then steal them back on the racks again. That way, I took the print off with my eyeballs and stayed honest. I didn't want to be a permanent thief, and I was very careful to wash my hands before I read them. But with the library, it's like catnip I suppose: you begin to run in circles because there is so much to look at and read. And it's far more fun than going to school, simply because you can make up your own list and you don't have to listen to anyone." — Ray Bradbury Library Association JULY BOOK BUYS
