Audiobook of the Week:
Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
This has consistently been one of the most requested books in the library during the past couple of years! It has also been turned into a movie.
“My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I'm allergic to the world.I don't leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.
But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He's tall, lean and wearing all black-black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.
Maybe we can't predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It's almost certainly going to be a disaster.”
eBook of the Week:
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
I have had several requests for this in the library during the past few weeks and I highly recommend the series! There are also several spin off series set in the same world, so if you enjoy this one you can just keep on reading. There is a movie version of this book and also a series on Netflix if you are interested.
“Clary Fray is seeing things: vampires in Brooklyn and werewolves in Manhattan. Irresistibly drawn to the Shadowhunters, a secret group of warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons, Clary encounters the dark side of New York City - and the dangers of forbidden love.”
I hope you find something you like!
