Book of the Week |

This week's Book of the Week is 'How Hard Can It Be' by Allison Pearson.
Kate Reddy was not ready for her idyllic life to be upturned by her husband's new peace-seeking through therapy and lycra, her kids become teenage berserkers, or to have to return to the workforce as a 49-year-old professional Mom. It's a big ask, but 'How Hard Can It Be?' Turns out, it's hilariously hard, but Kate will learn that there is more to the world and to herself than she dared to dream.

With the G7 Summit on people's minds we have gotten questions about books explaining how America became what it is today. It's a complicated story, so take a look at some of the new wide-scope books on modern America. On the other hand, take your mind off current events and lose yourself in a quick, engaging read. Try something like Anthony Horowitz new mystery for mystery lovers, 'The Word is Murder'. We've got something for you to read in this sun, just ask for a recommendation!
