Marg recently enjoyed Then She Was Gone, a popular new thriller by Lisa Jewell. Read her review here:
Fifteen year-old Ellie Mack disappears without a trace one afternoon on her way to the library. An intensive search for her turns up fruitless leaving her family in shambles.
All too often I end up disappointing with mysteries/thrillers/psychological suspense because you can see the twist(s) from a mile away. Well, The Perfect Mother blindsided me! It’s about a group of first time mothers living in Brooklyn who regularly gather for baby advice and peer support.
Now that summer is clearly upon us and the weather is warming up, it is once again time to make reading an outside activity. In my opinion, there isn't anything more relaxing...assuming the mosquitos are in check! Luckily, there are all kinds of great new and forthcoming releases to choose from. Here are a few books that are on my radar for summer reading.
Kristin reviews Bellewether by Susanna Kearsley, our One Book, One L&A selection for 2018! Here's her review:
It’s that time of year again when the County of Lennox & Addington Libraries launches the always popular TD Summer Reading Club. The purpose of this Canada-wide program is threefold: to encourage early literacy, to stave off “summer learning loss”, and perhaps most importantly, to celebrate the role recreational reading plays in lifelong learning.
Lennox & Addington County native Ashley Rae has made quite a name for herself in Canada's fishing community. This skilled angler has plied her craft from coast to coast and beyond, but still frequents her home community where her passion for fishing was born.
This spring and summer Ashley will be blogging about a few of her favourite bodies of water in Lennox & Addington County. Follow her adventures as she documents her most memorable experiences on the water throughout the region.
Art and words come together in the newest exhibit at the Lennox & Addington County Museum & Archives in Napanee. Entitled “My Story, My Tattoo”, this travelling display from the Wellington County Museum and Archives (WCMA) features 32 photographs of people and their amazing tattoos. It includes four audio stations, six videos and 30 text panels.
On May 13th, Prince Edward-Lennox & Addington Social Services (PELASS) completed their participation in Ontario’s homeless enumeration, the first province-wide count of its kind in Canada.
Through the assistance of 20 services providers in both counties including food banks, health providers and other community services, over 100 questionnaires were completed by those considered homeless or precariously housed.
Caitlyn recently enjoyed Trouble Never Sleeps, Stephanie Tromly’s final installment in the Trouble series for teens. Haven’t read the first two yet?
