April has been a very exciting month to be a Clevelander. This past weekend the city hosted the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Not only was it an awesome concert right here in our city, but the awesome seemed to spread throughout the city as rock stars were spotted at local restaurants. We weren’t all lucky enough to have dinner at the table next to Joan Jett, but it was still fun to hear stories about it. It was also very exciting to watch the Cavs beat the Celtics as they start their journey through the 2015 playoffs. I’m not usually a huge sports fan, but over the last six years I’ve found myself much more infatuated with the Cavaliers and I would love to see them bring a championship to the city.
The final exciting event coming to the beautiful Cleveland suburb of Rocky River is the Rocky River Public Library Book Festival, which will take place Saturday, April 25. This is an exciting opportunity for all of us to get to meet and greet some of our favorite local authors.
With all the excitement I almost forgot to mention our latest additions to the Reading Room. So, let’s get back to what we are here for and start viewing the latest additions!

It seems that somewhere between the historical fiction and sports fiction, this list includes something for everyone. I hope you find the perfect book to wrap up this month with.
Happy reading!
