I read The Hunger Games. I am not a huge reader but this one caught my attention. I loved the action in the games and how much strategy was involved. The whole back story about why the games had to happen was a bit weird, but I guess there had to be a reason for all the drama.

I read The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. This was a page-turning mystery about a man named Aiden Bishop. He wakes up in a forest not knowing who he is or remembering anything from his life.

The Nintendo Switch system has a few new games ready to be played! Come try them out Monday nights during the Your Space drop-in program from 5-8pm in the Teen Room, and keep an eye on the events calendar for more opportunities. Want to suggest games for purchase?

Brigid Kemmerer is one of those authors that I find to be very reliable in that her writing is always consistent, no matter what genre she tackles. I’m partial to her contemporary fiction, but recently have decided to explore more of her fantasy series.

Elatsoe is set in an recognizable but slightly different contemporary America, where magic and magical beings are commonplace. People can travel by Fairy Ring (it’s regulated); vampires have rights (and “old age” homes); and magic can be studied in university.

“Bravery meant the possibility of death. And wasn’t that funny? Because it took being dead for Wallace to finally be brave.” 

Drop in to the Teen Room on Monday nights anytime from 5-8pm and hang out and relax before the week gets away from you. We'll have board games, Nintendo Switch games, music, crafts, and more. Bring a friend or two!
