Spring Into A Good Book

 

Spring is upon us and in full bloom! Spring is a great time to pick up a good book and lose yourself in the pages! This May at Jessup Library we are celebrating the newness of spring and jumping into good books that entertain! 

Walk through The Secret Garden on the Yorkshire Moors with Mary Lennox, or learn how to be a beekeeper in '60s South Carolina with young Lily and her adopted family of African American beekeeping women, who teach her about the world of bees, honey, and the Black Madonna in The Secret Life of Bees. If you prefer something a bit more noir, check out Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl about the mysterious disappearance of a wife from a seemingly perfect marriage.

If you are a nonfiction reader, Tyler Anbinder's City of Dreams: the 400-year epic history of immigrant New York is an easy-to-read, interesting book about the history of the ancient city. In Princesses Behaving Badly: real stories from history--without the fairy-tale endings, you can learn about entertaining histories of powerful women and their not-so-happy endings. Genetics and superstitions, art and reality, all come together in Red: a history of the redhead. This book delves into the history of red hair and the way that humans throughout time have reacted to those with red hair.

 This May, enjoy the fine weather and read a good book outside in the shade!

 Happy Reading!📖
