MARCH AND APRIL

Because March just flew by and now here it is - the beginning of May! Did you have a good National Library Week celebrating Library Joy? And can you believe that Pigeon has thirteen books?! Bird-Day is very cute and a bit profound. Don't we all just want to be seen? And Emeka, Eat Egusi took me by surprise! While definitely a book about trying new foods (especially Nigerian food), Emeka is on the autism spectrum which I think makes it a must have on library shelves. For adults - Do you like John Wick? Then give Rob Hart's Assassins Anonymous series a try. Three Hitmen and a Baby is the third book in the series; possibly the last though he certainly gave himself room to continue. Fingers crossed!

February

FEBRUARY is love your library month! Show your library love by getting a library card if you don't have one; using your library card if you do; attend library programs; and write a thank you letter to your local library staff letting them know that you appreciate them. 
And the books I loved this month -- The Witch's Table by Melinda Beatty was a great read. A World Without Summer by Nicholas Day was very enlightening and eye opening - also a great historical non-fiction that was easy to read and understand. March is coming in like a lamb here in Texas. What books are you reading?
