Stacey's July Staff Picks

Welcome to mt Staff Picks of July.

Tight Lines by Allee Richards

Many of us have friends from our teenage years whom we look back on, wondering about the choices we made and the people we've become. Tight Lines explores just this following a catastrophic event. A deeply reflective book about the enduring power of friendship during a time when we make some of the most defining decisions of our lives.

John of John by Douglas Stuart

This was published back in May, but it is just too good not to bring back into the spotlight. I loved this book from the very first page and flew through it in just a couple of sittings. The story follows Cal as he returns from time abroad, trying to reconnect with his old life and family. It is so rich in detail and atmosphere that it sweeps you in immediately. Very highly recommended.

The Parkwood Murders by Chris Chibnall

I’m in the middle of this right now and can't put it down. A fantastic, 'whodunit' crime read. Perfect for anyone looking for a thriller that moves at lightning speed

What Were You Thinking!? by Nathan Wallis

Our Non-Fiction Book of the Month, and for good reason! This is a fascinating read written by an author with decades of experience in the sector. Whether you are picking this up as a guide or simply out of general interest, you're in expert hands.

Cool Machine by Colson Whitehead

I’ve been hooked on Whitehead since The Underground Railroad, and this book does not disappoint. Set in 1980s Harlem, it finds Ray Carney tackling past regrets and trying to stay afloat. Even though it closes out a trilogy, it provides enough context to stand completely on its own.

Big Bang Bread by Lily Uivel

Kids will be completely immersed in this beautifully illustrated cosmic adventure. The wonders of space engaging and fun for young explorers.
