Summer is officially here!
Time to relax, rejuvenate and read! Here are a few books you may want whether
you’re headed to the beach, or the backyard.
Let’s face it, technology is
everywhere. The wife of gunned down FBI agent Joe Grant receives a strange
voicemail from her husband that later disappears. When Mary digs into her
husband’s death ‘she finds herself on the trail of a secret that could
transform the world, and the target of a dangerous psychopath.’ (Paraphrased
from Barnes & Noble)
This
is for my peeps from the Birthplace of Aviation! If you like this kind of
story, you may also want to check out American Genius on the National
Geographic Channel. They put together a documentary on the heated race for
flight between the Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtiss (as well as some other
very interesting rivalries).
“In
1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright achieved flight. In his new book, two-time
Pulitzer Prize winner David McCullough explores the lives of these two men from
Dayton, Ohio—preacher’s sons who did not attend college, and who were bicycle
makers and salesmen prior to their invention of the first powered airplane. He
sheds light on the skeptical reaction they received from a general public that
did not understand their accomplishments, and takes a look at the contributions
of their overlooked sister, Katharine. The truths he uncovers are startling and
inspirational.” (Barnes & Noble)
“Evanovich
introduced her New York Times best-selling Lizzy and Diesel series with 2010's
Wicked Appetite, featuring dazzling Salem, MA, baker Elizabeth Tucker (her
cupcakes drive men mad) and the seductive Diesel, first seen in Evanovich's
Stephanie Plum books. Here she brings on multi-award-winning
writer/producer/novelist Sutton to help. Each tale involves the search for an
ancient relic mysteriously linked to one of the seven deadly sins—in this case,
greed.” (Library Journal)
