Remember yesterday I told you I'd just returned from hibernation and was checking out what was new in my book box? (My book box, of course, is the library.) When I woke up, I found out it's still a long, hot summer, and I need to find some interesting things to do for the rest of this season.
So, today I began roaming the library in the other direction. . .away from the genealogy library. Down past the library bulletin board, past Information Services, past the Levi Willcoxon Auditorium. And I stopped at the New Books Section. I always have to browse when I get to those shelves.
Chocolate Secrets by Zelda Benjamin, a South Florida writer, caught my eye. The story is about an ER nurse and a NYC firefighter, who just happens to be connected to the man who stole the nurse's grandfather's secret chocolate recipe. (Did you follow that?) Of course, they fall for each other (the nurse and firefighter, not the grandfather), and the firefighter is determined to prove he is the nurse's true soul mate. In his quest to get the recipe and win the citywide bake-off (wow! the firefighter bakes!), the firefighter puts his relationship with the nurse at risk. I have to find out how it all turned out, especially since chocolate is involved! (This is a 7-day loan and an Avalon book.)
Another book is Murder She Wrote, Panning for Murder. This is a Jessica Fletcher and Donald Bain book, and I'm a sucker for Jessica Fletcher stories. I used to watch that television series every time it was on! In this story Jessica takes an Alaskan cruise and gets caught up in an investigation to find the missing sister of her good friend Kathy. It also involves a gold claim in Alaska. And before Kathy and Jessica are even halfway to their destination, Jessica realizes someone is watching their every move. Another 7-day loan full of exciting reading.
When I left the New Book Section, I stopped at the Video Section. I decided to peek at the neatly lined-up plastic sleeves of video covers and find something good to watch inside where it's cool. Boy! Did I find a bunch of good movies!
In the Adult videos I found Mask of Zorro, Left Behind, Nutty Professor II, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Saving Private Ryan, Phenomenon, and Driving Miss Daisy. In the Children's videos I saw Have Time, Will Travel; Arthur Cracks the Case; Treasure of Manhattan Island; Charlotte's Web; and Jungle Book. Don't all of those sound great?
And since I just mentioned children, tomorrow I'm going to tell you what's remaining for the month with the Children's and Teens' Programs. Stay tuned. . .more good stuff to come.
