Have you picked up your Summer Reading activity card yet? Bellingham Public Library Public Services Clerk Lorena has several recommendations for filling in the squares on the card for adults!
For the "Start a New Series" square, Lorena recommends "Liar City" by Allie Therin. She says, "“A murder mystery set in an alternate Seattle where a small subset of the population has the ability to sense others’ emotions. I think my favorite part about this book as a mystery is that the question is never really who did it (you’re told who did it fairly early). The real question is why and how they did it, and the answers are both predictable and terrifying.”
For the "Audiobook" square, Lorena recommends "The Murderbot Series" by Martha Wells, which would also be a great series to start. Lorena says, "Who hasn’t wanted work to just go away so you can watch your favorite soap operas? I love how caring (and yet deeply sarcastic) Murderbot is, and I love watching the character progress throughout the series. These books are fun to read and with Kevin R. Free as the audiobook reader, they’re delightful to listen to as well.”
And for the "Indie Darling" square, she recommends "Half a Soul" by Olivia Atwater. “This book got its start being self-published chapter by chapter online, and now it’s a properly printed book! It’s like 'Howl’s Moving Castle' meets 'Pride and Prejudice'. There’s a faerie curse, and a grumpy wizard! There are fancy regency balls, scandalous behavior (dancing with the same person more than twice?!), and the single most romantic scene I’ve ever read, without contest.”
We've got more Summer Reading recommendations on display at all BPL locations throughout the month of June, and online all summer long. Check it out!
