Summertime Stories: Our Staff’s Top Picks for July
Jo:
The Guest List by Lucy Foley
I recently read The Guest List by Lucy Foley and was captivated from the start. A murder mystery with an interesting cast of characters and a unique setting, it was spooky and surprising.
Terri:
The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong
I finished it weeks ago and still find myself thinking about and wondering what these characters are up to every day!
Barb:
Dragon Kingdom of Wrenly by Jordan Quinn
I feel this is a great primer to fantasy graphic and chapter series and one that has many dragon adventures.
Erin:
Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Sutanto
This book was so much fun right from the start, and perfect for a light, breezy summer read. Of course there is murder, but it’s cozy mystery style murder 🙂
Lynn:
Maine Characters by Hannah Orenstein
This past week I was able to wrap up a few really good books. Ones that stood out to me were:
Things Don’t Break on Their Own by Sarah Easter Collins
How to Read a Book by Monica Wood
Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten
Maine Characters by Hannah Orenstein
I recommend all of them but I think I was most surprised by Maine Characters. As described on Goodreads “From beloved author Hannah Orenstein, this love letter to lake life is “the Parent Trap for adults,” the story of two half-sisters who meet for the first time at their father’s cabin in Maine after his unexpected death.”
