Press release from the Lynnfield Public Library: February 28, 2021 This month we have 18 recommendations from our staff, including puzzles, books of all genres, and a picture book that will make you laugh out loud. If you check out any of these items, let us know what you think! Abby, Assistant Director and Head of Adult Services Brown Girl in the Ring by Nalo Hopkinson Book On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden Book | eBook Barbara, Reference Apeirogon by Colum McCann Book | eBook | CD Audiobook | eAudiobook Based on two individuals the author met at a conference, this novel tells the story of two fathers, one Israeli (Rami Elhanan) and one Palestinian (Bassam Aragon), each of whom lost a daughter during the Israeli/Palestinian conflicts. An erudite novel that beautifully portrays all the nuances of the conflict in the Middle East. A recommended read. I couldn't put it down and thought about it long afterwards. Carolyn, Circulation The Digital Photography Handbook by Doug Harmen Book Christine, Circulation Fortune and Glory: Tantalizing Twenty-Seven by Janet Evanovich Book | Large Print | eBook | CD Audiobook | eAudiobook This month, I enjoyed one of my guilty pleasures. In this one, there's more Ranger and less Joe Morelli as Stephanie tries to track down the "treasure" left to Grandma Mazur by her deceased husband, Jimmy Rosolli, to whom she was married for forty-five minutes before he died. The usual fun and humor with the usual cast of characters. Jill, Circulation Burma: Forgotten Allies Documentary Stream This is a 45-minute documentary about locating the Burmese veterans of World War II to honor them and hear their stories. Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi Book It's a children's picture book about animals and people pooping. Kat, Head of Circulation Dead-End Detective by Amanda Flower Book | eAudiobook This is a cozy mystery and first in a new series. Instant Karma by Marissa Meyer Book | eBook This is a young adult contemporary romance. The Perfect Guests by Emma Rous Book | Large Print This is a mystery thriller–compelling, suspenseful, and twisty. Kathe, Reference HGTV Magazine Print | Digital Real Simple Magazine Print The Old House Journal Print I've been doing some sprucing up around my house, reading lots of home decorating magazines. Lauren, Head of Youth Services Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire Book This is the newest book in one of my favorite series, Wayward Children. It can be read as a stand alone or after reading the rest of the series. It's a "portal fantasy" – a story where someone travels through a doorway to another world and has to cope with what they find there, and with the possibility or reality of coming home to a place that doesn't feel like home anymore. Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas Book | eBook | CD Audiobook | eAudiobook The prequel to The Hate U Give, this tells the story of Starr's father, Maverick, as a teenager. I love The Hate U Give, so I had high expectations for this one, and it definitely lived up to them. Mary, Circulation Snacks Puzzle Puzzle Washington Black by Esi Edugyan Book | Large Print | eBook | eAudiobook The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson Book | eBook | CD Audiobook | Playaway Nicole, Head of Tech Services 500 Miles From You by Jenny Colgan Book | Large Print | eBook Vanessa Yu's Magical Paris Tea Shop by Roselle Lim Book | Large Print | eBook Pat, Head of Reference Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries: Series 1 DVD | Stream This press release was produced by the Lynnfield Public Library.
