What are you reading this Summer?
I don’t know about you, but my reading tastes vary with the seasons–through the Fall and Winter, life is hectic and fast-paced, and I must have page-turners. The length of a book is irrelevant, it’s the pacing that determines whether or not a book is a quick read; so, when I’m busy, I enjoy thrillers that are plot-driven and draw you in quickly. In the Summer, however, life becomes a little more leisurely, and I find that I enjoy character-centered novels that are more descriptive in style. I can get lost in the book’s setting and the more thought-provoking plots and relationships.
Summer is just around the corner, as is our Adult Summer Reading Program. We’d like to know what your reading style is, and any titles you’d like to recommend to others in our community. Who are your favorite authors? What are some books that have impacted you the most? Feel free to comment on this blog, and we will share it with other readers.
A famous librarian once said, “Never apologize for your reading tastes.” If you love a book, chances are there are others out there who would love it too. So share it with us!
Andrew Gross On His Own
After co-authoring five of James Patterson’s most popular works, Andrew Gross is finally going solo with his debut thriller, The Blue Zone.
Kate Raab’s charmed life is turned upside down when her father is arrested for money laundering. He makes a deal, and Kate’s whole family is thrust into the Witness Protection Program. However, a year later, Kate’s father disappears and goes into “the blue zone”–a fearful state in which one’s identity has been revealed, his cover blown. With threats all around her, Kate is left with the task of unraveling her father’s secrets in order to survive.
Gross incorporates Patterson’s signature breakneck pacing yet adds “a strong measure of heart” to the core of his characters. Be one of the first on the list by reserving your copy today, and let us know what you think!
