May 2022

Looking for a book that reads like a dream, but isn’t all “fluff”? Then pick up one of these books. They are easy-to-read, yet have more depth than the typical beach read. These are contemporary, historical, suspense, and romance genres (even one science fiction) and have been at the library since 2017.
