Summer Reading Book Recommendations: Week 9

Some of the most popular books in the library are graphic novels, so this week's summer reading recommendations from our daily tweets are all books in that format.

You can see the full presentation HERE.

Like the caption indicates, this week's titles are nearly all books in a series or in planned series, and with the exception of Hidden: A Child's Story of the Holocaust, are all based on chapter books. Often we see that our readers move between the chapter books and graphic novels with ease and re-read their favorites as they come to love the stories and the characters.

Two of our featured books in series will have additional titles published in the coming school year:

•  Supernova: Amulet 8 on Sept. 25, 2018

•  The Lost Air: Wings of Fire 2 on Feb. 26, 2019

Only two weeks before we return to classes--have you found a book or two that you'd like to look at and perhaps check out? We're excited to see you soon!

Summer Reading Book Recommendations: Week 6

We're halfway through our summer reading book recommendations (What?!), and this week we feature some of the most popular series books in our library.

You can access the entire presentation HERE.

The recommendations include The Track Series by Jason Reynolds, a new series about an elite track team, with each new book telling a different member's story; the magical Unwanteds series; the classic retellings of The Lunar Chronicles focused on a new retelling with each new book; the historical fiction War That Saved My Life series that focuses on an unusual aspect of WWII; and The Grisha Trilogy, dark magic and hard choices at their best.

Any of these summer reading suggestions could keep you busy reading until school starts--or we'd love to see you in August to put Book 1 in your hands! See you then!

Explore the Lunar Chronicles

Once upon a time there was a book series about fairy tale characters who got a new treatment from talented author Marissa Meyer. . . Have you read any of the books in the Lunar Chronicles?

The release of the fourth book Fairest is set for January 27, 2015; here's a peek at the cover:

Can't wait until then to get more of Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Prince Kai, and Captain Thorne? Why not visit The Lunar Chronicles website?

One of the latest features on the website is the link that allows users to "glamour" themselves as Queen Levana does. Upload a picture of yourself, then watch as the magic mirror uses "glamour" to change your image.

Also on the website, you can read more about the books & author Marissa Meyer, as well as follow the blog for the series. Enjoy! And see you at the bookstore on January 27 to purchase Fairest!
