Isn’t it amazing how quickly seasons change? The temperature is dropping and the leaves are dropping; it’s Fall! My favorite parts of this season are: how the sun will be shining and you’ll still be able to wear a sweater, all the foods that feature pumpkin as the main ingredient, and when it’s rainy out you can stay inside with a big, new book! While you might have to wait just a bit to break out your sweaters and eat your fill of pumpkin, we can help you find a new book to read right now! How about:

Odd Thomas by Dean R. Koontz
The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
The Second Empress by Michelle Moran
Okay for Now by Gary Schmidt
Dare Me by Megan Abbott
City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

Enjoy!

Happy Labor Day Edition of our Latest Additions! The library is closed today, so I’m working ahead a little bit… And I’m guessing a little bit… But I’m confident that you must be as excited as I am to find an extra day in the weekend -to read! Maybe even a lot more time to read?! Oh boy! So in-between eating some fried cheese-on-a-stick at the Great Geauga County Fair and doing a little work in the yard, I’ll be using my plus-one day to kick back with a big stack of b-o-o-k-s! And you? What are you doing with your bonus day? Maybe you want to jot down one of these titles:

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
The Second Empress by Michelle Moran
Okay for Now by Gary Schmidt
Dare Me Megan Abbott
City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare

And we’ll see you on Tuesday! Enjoy!

I can’t help it. Today I have to point out the weather as it is pure perfection -for reading!

Which brings us nicely to the list of books newly added to The Reading Room:

The Red House by Mark Haddon
The Fallen Angel by Daniel Silva
Lies, Knives, and Girls in Red Dresses by Ronald Koertge
Broken Harbor by Tana French

Now you can settle back down on the couch and -Enjoy!

In advance -I apologize! I only have a brief window of opportunity today to share what’s new in The Reading Room! But even if I had more time, I’d probably only yap on about how I’m already feeling a little shaky due to the lack of Olympic coverage. (Aren’t you?)

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
Ever By My Side by Nick Trout
Never Tell by Alafair Burke

… Wish me luck on getting through the evening without having to check out ESPN! (So not my usual!)

— Stacey

You might want to consider this your opposing viewpoints edition of the Latest Additions… I have to share the fact that I *love* this time of year, but I also remember that I used to *not* love this time of year. Yes, I’m talking about getting ready to go back to school! Oh, the abundance of school supplies! Pens! Notebooks! Book Covers! Markers! Glue! And all manner of Good Things! But I understand that my feeling like a kid in a candy store comes at the expense of others, i.e. school children. So if you see me out and about, skipping down the school supply aisles, and it makes you feel bad -I hereby do declare, “I am sorry for showing my paper goods glee!” A happy only moment? We have a new basket to win for the Adult Summer Reading participants!

This basket will appeal ever so strongly to readers of nonfiction, who love a good factoid, and die-hard Clevelanders! (The pointer finger? Not part of the prize! Sorry!) And to win? You might want to read one of these:

A Place in the Country by Elizabeth Adler
Heading Out to Wonderful by Robert Goolrick
Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes
The Next Best Thing by Jennifer Weiner

Enjoy! (…and maybe I’ll see you in the supplies aisle!)

— Stacey

What’s more exciting than watching an Olympic opening ceremony? Well, not much really. But! Maybe you’d like to celebrate the next most exciting thing… like finding out what’s new in the world of prize baskets?!

Wicked Business by Janet Evanovich
Objects of My Affection by Jill Smolinski
Black Heart by Holly Black
I Am the Messenger by Markus Zusak
