Have you ever come into the Hillsdale Community Library and wondered what the staff likes to read and watch in their spare time? Or have you ever read a really good book and wished you could tell everyone in town about it? Here's your chance!!! It's a new forum to talk about everything contained within the four walls of HCL.
If you read this blog with any regularity, you know that I'm a big fan of Alan Bradley's debut mystery, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. The young protagonist was just so quirky and delightful, and the relationships in the story were just so great, and the mystery was just so fun, I was sad when I was done. The second in the series, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag is coming out in March 2010, and you better believe I'll be one of the first in line to read it.
I'm also looking forward to Kate Braestrup's second book, Marriage and Other Acts of Charity: A Memoir, which comes out next month. Braestrup wrote Here If You Need Me: A True Story about becoming a chaplain for the Maine game wardens after her husband was killed in a car accident. It's a beautiful book about peace and acceptance, and it's the only audiobook I've ever enjoyed. Braestrup has a unique way of looking at the world, and a lot of wisdom for someone so young and . . . well . . . "normal."
