The staff is reading...

It's still bitterly cold outside and a good excuse to stay inside and read. Here are the books that some of the library staff is reading. You will find a great mix to perhaps explore on your own.

K. S. has just finished Healing Waters by Nancy Rue and Stephen Arterburn, the second book in the Sullivan Crisp series. This is a great read for any woman struggling with self worth. Involving an offbeat psychologist, it combines romance, mystery and self discovery. J. B is reading two books, Simon Green's new Nightside novel, Just Another Judgment Day. It is an urban fantasy novel set in an alternative world called The Nightside. The novel follows the protagonist John Taylor as he tries to stop the Walking Man who has come to clean up the Nightside by killing all sinners (which is pretty much the entire population of Nightside). J.B. is just now starting a lunch time read, Shirley Damsgaard's, The Witch's Grave. It's a mystery series that follows Ophelia Jensen who happens to be a small town librarian who is also a good witch. It's a mystery cozy with a little supernatural thrown in for good measure. L.B. is reading Micheal Greenberg's, Hurry Down Sunshine. The story is about Sally, the author's fifteen year old daughter who was diagnosed as bipolar. Revealing insights to help those interested in learning more about Bipolar Disorder. S.R. is just starting Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. Called by reviewers as "an emotional hanky read". A novel showing what friendship really is and how it can endure over the years. S.R. is also currently listening to The Senator's Wife by Sue Miller, an audiobook, in her car on the way to work. The author gracefully addresses marital infidelity in the world of politics.
