OOooh, I get so excited when books or movies are set in the Midwest! Divergent by Veronica Roth sounds like a MUST READ. It might possibly even be a MUST READ NOW! I’m going to watch the trailer again wheeee!

so ever since seeing the BBC’s presentation of Sherlock last Fall, I am obsessed with everything Sherlockian! And I may just have to give Death Cloud by Andrew Lane a read…looks mysterious wink wink.

It’s beginning to look a lot like SUMMER! The Summer Reading Program officially kicks off this Saturday (see the details HERE), so maybe start racking up those page points by enjoying a flirty, summery read! Doesn’t get much flirtier than Summer and the City, the sequel to Candace Bushnell’s The Carrie Diaries!

Check out Across the Universe by Beth Revis—definitely one of the best YA book jackets of the past year. Seriously, I cannot stop looking at it. Looking at it right now…still looking at it…okay. I stopped. Nope, false alarm. Still looking at it…

Reading this right now and it is pretty awesome–look for a BRR on it in a few weeks.

Check out You Killed Wesley Payne by Sean Beaudoin.

You know we are big Meg Cabot fans here at the Davenport Public Library, so we are V. EXCITED to read her newest book, Abandon, which is a modern retelling of the Greek myth about Persephone.

And did you hear that Meg Cabot will be in Cedar Rapids on Tuesday July 12th at 7:00 p.m. at Ballantyne Auditorium, Kirkwood College?!!! This summer is going to be AWESOME.

Reserve your copy of Book Ten: The Emperor of Nihon-Ja by John Flanagan–this is the final book in the Ranger’s Apprentice series! No worries though, see the article: “John Flanagan to Release ‘Ranger’s Apprentice: The Lost Stories” on Galleycat to check on Mr. Flanagan’s newest projects.
