by Victoria Gilbert

Amy finds herself and her beau in the thick of things again as they discover another body. This one because of art and forgies not like the one before dealing with history and family property heritage although this was her uncles heritage in painting. With the investigation involving an out of town art investigator being brought in, her aunt has warmed up to him while hosting him as the annual festival gets into full swing. A donated art piece gets stolen that was donated to the festival fundraiser from her uncles collection which is intertwined with the murder. Lots of clues that finally pair together when she gets back from her surprise trip from NY to see her beau perform while the festival is being covered by her aunt and best friend who sent her. A great read for sure!

Hidden Valley Road
by Robert Kolker
View in Library Catalog
After watching the 4-part documentary about six sons out of 12 Calvin children who lived with schizophrenia, I was more curious about this family and stoked that a book was written about them. Award-winning journalist Robert Kolker weaved both narrative stories about the Calvin family with medical information about schizophrenia and new research. To read this book, one does not need to be a medical expert. The chapters are shorter and this book is an excellent read. If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would double it to 10.

This is an excellent work of poetry written by one of our patrons. Reading this made me feel like I got to know their heart more and their love for God.
Tortuga
by Rudolfo Anaya
View in Library Catalog
This book was a slow read with lots of symbolism and dreams. I wasn't always sure whether Tortuga, the protagonist was dreaming or if he was experiencing what could be a dream. The gist of the whole story was Tortuga's process from paralysis due to an accident to moving forward.

Story was good but the way she's releasing them is scammy.
