Press release from the Lynnfield Public Library: January 29, 2021 This past month we enjoyed all sorts of books, movies, and TV shows. Our library team's picks for January include fourteen cozy mysteries, young adult fantasy stories, cookbooks, crime procedurals, and more. If you decide to check one of these out, let us know what you think! Abby, Assistant Director & Head of Adult Services Comet in Moominland by Tove Jansson Book I'd never read any of the classic series before. It was so silly and a fun way to kick off the year. I don't really do much on resolutions, but one of mine this year is to read more books I already own and I've had this on the shelf for ages. The Book on Pie by Erin Jeanne McDowell Book I got this for Christmas and I can't wait to make everything in it! Barbara, Reference Crossings by Alex Landragin Book The book is designed to be read two ways, either traditionally, page one sequentially to the end or as I read it, via what has been identified by the bookbinder in the novel as the 'Baroness sequence,' which leads the reader through the book by non-sequential sections. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it that way, and one I recommend. Christine, Circulation The Writer's Library: The Authors You Love on the Books That Changed Their Lives, edited by Nancy Pearl and Jeff Schwager Book | CD Audiobook Not only does this give you a new, long list of books to read, but it also gives you insight into how readers become writers and why they write what they write. Jen, Library Director Criminal Minds DVD I've been catching up on the last few seasons by borrowing the DVDs from other NOBLE libraries Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O'Neill with Dan Piepenbring Book | eBook I'm reading this on Libby. Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline Book | Large Print | eBook | CD Audiobook | eAudiobook I started listening to this but had to return it because so many people were on the waiting list! Baby Sitters Little Sister series by Katy Farina Book | eBook My daughter is loving these graphic novels. Kat, Head of Circulation Flowers and Foul Play by Amanda Flower Book Death on the Page by Essie Lang Book Lauren, Head of Youth Services Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo Book Marilyn, Reference Fisherman's Friends DVD Nicole, Head of Tech Services I Want to be Where the Normal People Are by Rachel Bloom Book | eAudiobook Pat, Head of Reference The Dirty South by John Connolly Book | Large Print | eBook | CD Audiobook Patty, Administrative Assistant The Peanut Butter Falcon DVD It's a Mark Twain style adventure story about a young man with Down syndrome who escapes from the nursing home he lives in to follow his dream of becoming a professional wrestler. He meets up with a small time outlaw, who is on the run. Their journey includes shooting guns, drinking whisky, catching fish and forming a heartwarming friendship. It's funny, genuine and about doing the right thing. Samantha, Circulation Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse Book This book is the first in a new fantasy series by an indigenous author. I can't wait for the second book to come out! This press release was produced by the Lynnfield Public Library. The views expressed are the author's own.
