turkeyWhat are you giving thanks for this year? Let us know! Stop by the children’s department and write down what you’re thankful for on one of our turkey feathers, and we’ll post it on the big turkey that’s up on the wall. All ages are welcome to help us “feather” our bird with thanks!

While you’re here, check out our selection of Thanksgiving books, say hi to Dory and Nemo in our reef tank and spend a few minutes playing with your little ones in the early learning center.

While you’re here, check out our improvements in the teen area! It desperately needed a face lift, and we’re thankful that our endowment board agreed to fund the changes. We’ve got some new furniture, new display space and storage, an interactive chalkboard, a “bored” board and are in the process of setting up a mini maker area.

Stuffed from Thanksgiving and not in the mood to shop? We’re having a holiday movie marathon on Friday, Nov. 25 starting at 10 a.m. in the children’s area. Check out our online calendar for details on this and other upcoming programs!

Holly Recommended by Holly A Great Reckoning

One of my favorite late summer/early autumn pleasures is reading the new Louise Penny book. I absolutely adore Armand Gamache. There is nothing hard boiled about him. He loves good food, art, books and company. He believes in redemption and the power of love.

“A Great Reckoning” is the 12th book featuring Gamache. He is now the Commander of the Surete Academy and has been tasked with finding the root of corruption left behind by the former commander. In doing so, he finds that it is more traumatic than he guessed. He also needs to rely on an old friend who has been tainted by past corruption. We are also introduced to new characters – in particular Isabelle, the new recruit who Gamache chooses to redeem.

Even though half of the novel takes place at the academy, there is still much to love about Three Pines. The whole cast of characters is still there – Clara, Ruth, Gabri, Oliver and Myrna. Jean-Guy and Annie are expecting an addition to their family and Reine Marie continues to be the perfect wife.

I’m already looking forward to next summer’s novel…

Linda Recommended by Linda Blood Defense

I just finished “Blood Defense” by Marcia Clark. Remember her as a prosecutor from the OJ Simpson trial? This is the first book in her new Samantha Brinkman series. Samantha is a bold, fearless criminal defense attorney trying to make a name for herself in LA. This case involves the brutal murder of a Hollywood starlet and her roommate. Sam is defending the LAPD detective, Dale Pearson, charged with the crime. As she investigates, we go along with her trying to decide if he’s guilty, innocent, a sociopath or a nice guy unjustly accused. A surprise revelation from her past puts another curve into the situation. Just when you think you have it figured out, Marcia throws in a plot twist. Don’t skip the Epilogue! It’s not the typical “they lived happily ever after” ending. It’s more of a OMG eye-popper!

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series, “Moral Defense”, coming out in November. Marcia’s personal experience gives readers insight into the way defense attorneys think and how the legal system works. She challenges you to think about legal justice versus moral justice. Most of the action takes place outside the courtroom with no offensive, graphic violence or profanity. Sam’s character is well developed, and leaves us wanting to know what she’ll do next. Hopefully future books will explore Michelle (her lifelong best friend) and Alex (her charming, brilliant, ex-con investigator) more fully.
