Let's talk about the book(s) we’ve each been reading. We would love to hear from you and other patrons from around the state would too.
DB107924 Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
Annotation: After Tova Sullivan's husband died, she began working the night shift cleaning at the Sowell Bay Aquarium. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn't dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors--until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova. Some strong language. Commercial audiobook. 2022.
DB 55748 The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson.
Annotation: The author of Isaac's Storm (DB 48811) traces the crimes of Dr. H.H. Holmes, a serial killer who preyed on young women during the 1893 Chicago World's Fair in the amazing landscape that architect Daniel H. Burnham created in a mere two years. Bestseller.
DB 22240 Nutcracker by E. T. A. Hoffman
Annotation: A vigorous translation of the original story that inspired Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" ballet. The story combines elements of fantasy and mysticism with overtones of Gothic horror. This new translation was an outgrowth of artist Maurice Sendak's design of sets and costumes for the Pacific Northwest Ballet's acclaimed 1981 production of "The Nutcracker."
