Book Recommendations

Kathleen's Pick: e-Audiobook on Hoopla The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James

Stranded on a spaceship speeding away from Earth, Romy is euphoric when she gets word that she will soon be joined by another ship, but as the Eternity gets closer, Romy begins to suspect that the captain has a mission all of their own. "This book is tense and creepy--and a great reminder that I don't have it that bad! Romy is completely alone in space, with civilization light years away. Her only connection to life back on earth is through email, so she is overjoyed when she learns that someone will soon be joining her on another ship. But then the doubt creeps in. Can she trust a person she has never met? This book is thrilling and unpredictable. You'll get whiplash from all the twists and turns!" --Kathleen

What Laura is Loving: eBook on Hoopla Symphony for the City of the Dead by M. T. Anderson

 A breath-taking history of Leningrad told through the experiences of composer Dmitri Shostakovich who dedicated his seventh symphony to his city of Leningrad, giving strength to the millions trapped inside the city through the 900-day siege during WWII.  "A beautifully written reminder of the power of music in the face of hardships--from heartbreak to pandemic, music offers us strength, hope and companionship." --Laura

Skye's Suggestion: eBook on Overdrive Call Down The Hawk by Maggie Stiefvater

While dreamers Ronan Lynch and Jordan Hennessy work to control their powers and stop destructive dreaming, government agent Carmen Farooq-Lane is hunting dreamers to prevent the prophesized apocalypse. "This is the much-anticipated sequel to Stiefvater's The Raven Boys series, and it lives up to the hype. It feels as otherworldly and whimsical and uncanny as her other books. While it's a treat for those who have read The Raven Cycle, it's not necessary to fully enjoy this book."--Skye
