Staff Picks for National Library Week: Rita and TJ S.

 

Rita


Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt - This book is a delightful blend of humor, warmth, and captivating facts about octopuses. Much of the narrative unfolds through the eyes of a clever and somewhat sarcastic giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus. It's a most enjoyable read!


 

How Y'all Doing: Misadventures and Mischief from a Life Well Lived by Leslie Jordan - I truly enjoyed listening to the audiobook narrated by Leslie Jordan. He led an incredibly adventurous and entertaining life and hearing him share his stories felt like having a conversation with a friend.


 

Everything is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Disease by John Green - This book is full of information about tuberculosis and its significant impact on our world. It raises awareness of the healthcare disparities that enable TB to remain one of the deadliest diseases, despite being both preventable and treatable.


 

Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy - A charming tale of discovering companionship in unexpected places. This is a quick read that is sure to warm your heart.


 

TJ S.


The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune


 

Lab Girl by Hope Jahren is one of my favorite books of all time; her memoir has inspired me to continue learning about plants and the earth. 


 

Murder by Cheesecake by Rachel Courage is a “Golden Girls” murder mystery and it’s hilarious!  The author did a wonderful job with Blanche’s accent. I can hear the voices of the characters when I read it.
