Press release from the Lynnfield Public Library: April 30, 2021 We read lots of stories in April–18 in fact. Plus we have our first double pick, where the same book was chosen by two different staff members! Follow the catalog links below to place holds on your favorite formats. Alex, Youth Services Amari and the Night Brothers by B. B. Alston (double pick!) Book | eBook | CD Audiobook | eAudiobook I read this book as an Audio book through Libby. It's a fantastic audio book and a wonderful story. If you are a fan of superpowers, magic, and mystery this is the book for you! Barbara, Reference The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow Book | eBook | eAudiobook Devotions by Mary Oliver Book | eBook Christine, Circulation The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin Book This book chronicles the early days of the war in London when Grace Bennett first moves to the city and starts working at Primrose Hill Bookshop while also volunteering for the Air Raid Precautions (ARP) service. Her resiliency and her newfound love of books are just what she and her community need to get through the worst of the air raids and relentless bombings. The descriptions of how neighbors support each other and cooperate in spite of fear and loss are vivid and moving. Storytelling, Grace learns, is a powerful means of coping with sadness and uncertainty. Jen, Director The Poisoner's Handbook by Deborah Blum Book | Large Print | eBook | CD Audiobook | eAudiobook (OverDrive) | eAudiobook (hoopla) We read The Poisoner's Handbook in our BookLover's nonfiction book group, and it was enjoyed by all. Part science, part true crime, part drama. Super fun to read. I listened to it on hoopla but I liked it so much I bought my own copy as a reference book for my writing collection. Amari and the Night Brothers by B. B. Alston (double pick!) Book | eBook | CD Audiobook | eAudiobook This is a new addition to the magical education genre (does it have it's own genre?). Great middle read, and I'm excited to see what happens in the next book. The Cousins by Karen McManus Book | eBook | eAudiobook I quite enjoyed The Cousins. A little bit of mystery with some teens (and adults, mostly) behaving badly. Set on an island off the coast of Massachusetts, it's got a some gothic undertones. Katherine, Head of Circulation Killer Content by Olivia Blacke Book Murder at Mabel's Motel by G.A. McKevett Book Lauren, Head of Youth Services Ana on the Edge by A. J. Sass Book Marilyn, Reference The Hill we Climb by Amanda Gorman Book | eBook | eAudiobook The Consequences of Fear by Jacqueline Winspear Book | Large Print | eBook | CD Audiobook | eAudiobook Mary, Circulation The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson Book | eBook | CD Audiobook Nicole, Head of Tech Services Delish: Insane Sweets by Joanna Saltz Book Patty, Administrative Assistant The Cutting Place by Jane Casey Book The Best Seller by Olivia Goldsmith Book | eBook Samantha, Circulation Legendborn by Tracy Deonn Book | eBook | CD Audiobook | eAudiobook The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History by Marcus Kwame Anderson & David F.
