HOT BOOKS

GMORNING,GNIGHT! LITTLE PEP TALKS FOR ME & YOU by LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA If you need a little pick-me-up this book is for you. From the originator of the popular Broadway show, Hamilton, Lin-Manuel gives you 3-5 sentence insights to energize your days and calm your nights. With illustrations by Jonny Sun, this book is sure to put a smile on your face and a zip in your step.
SAVING FIONA by THANE MAYNARD Subtitled The Story of the World’s Most Famous Baby Hippo, the book tells the story of the first premature hippopotamus ever raised by humans. It’s a tale of the dedication and expertise of her caregivers at the Cincinnati Zoo. The book features many photos of Fiona (born 2 months prematurely) and her parents Bibi and Henry. The author is the Director of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. Proceeds from his royalties go towards the care and feeding of Fiona and her family at the zoo.
THE SNOWY NAP by JAN BRETT Known world-wide for her beautifully written and illustrated picture books, Jan brings us a new one featuring Hedgie the Hedgehog. Hedgie knows it’s time for him to head into his cozy den because winter is descending, but he just hates to do it because once again he will miss seeing the beautiful snowy wonderland his farm animal friends have always told him about. But his friend Lisa has a plan to let him experience that wonderland before he hibernates for the winter.
PAST TENSE by LEE CHILD This Jack Reacher novel is another winner in Lee Child’s remarkable series. Have you noticed that trouble always seems to find Jack Reacher! In this case, he just wanted to visit the town where he thought his deceased father had lived years ago. In making that trip, little did he know he would walk into a sinister nightmare carried out in a nearly abandoned motel. Surprises abound as mysteries unfold.

DEAR BOOKLOVERS,

We are reorganizing some parts of our store. Come in and browse your favorite sections. You will find that a few of them have enlarged quite a bit and new ones have been added. You will notice our Pop Culture section continues to grow. We get new and replenished Funko Pops every week, so it is worth stopping in regularly and adding favorites to your collections.

REMINDER: We have a fun-filled KIDS STORYTIME each Saturday at 2 pm with our very own Miss Mary. Each session usually includes a reading, music, and crafts.
