Library pick up this week !

Have y’all read any of these? Thoughts? #lemon8contest #letschat #libraryreader #libraryweek #lemon8bookclub

2024/11/26 Edited to

This week at the library highlights several fascinating titles that cater to diverse literary tastes. Notably, the list includes 'Lunch Lady and the Video Game Villain' by Emily McIntire, which promises a fun adventure, and the impactful 'Last Child in the Woods' by Richard Louv, which critically examines children's disconnection from nature. Moreover, the thrilling 'A Never After Novel' by Ruth Ware and the gripping tale 'The Troop' by Nick Cutter add depth to this week's lineup. These selections not only entertain but also prompt important conversations about modern themes ranging from adventure to environmental consciousness. If you're a part of the Lemon8 community, don't forget to share your thoughts on these books in our ongoing discussions using the hashtags #libraryweek and #lemon8bookclub. Happy reading!

I just got a library card because I take my one year old to the library. I’ve only gotten her books so far but I need good book recommendations so I can get back into reading!

Omg that’s such a diverse haul! I’m the only person ever apparently that didn’t like the troop. Nick cutter’s writing style just isn’t for me.
