This month's bookseller host: Wendy
Thursday, August 18, 7:30pm
~3rd Thursdays, In-person and Zoom~
Every month, a different Loganberry Bookseller will recommend a favorite book and lead a discussion with community members! This month, Bookseller Wendy will be discussing Body of Stars by Laura Maylene Walter, which follows Celeste Morton, a young woman eagerly awaiting her passage to adulthood. She was born with a set of childhood markings--the freckles, moles, and birthmarks on her body that foretell her future and that of those around her. Celeste's beloved brother, Miles, is equally anticipating her transition to adulthood. As a skilled interpreter of the future, Miles considers Celeste his practice ground--and the only clue to what his own future will bring. But when Celeste changes, she learns a devastating secret about Miles's fate: a secret that could destroy her family, a secret she will do anything to keep. Register for the online meeting on August 18, 2022 here.

They quickly bond, but the old man has health issues and has a seizure one night. Blake is terrified, but his quick thinking saves the day! A feel-good story with cute illustrations and national acclaim for Blake." | Harriett (and Otis and Alice!) recommends Blake's Big Day by Sande Roberts:: "A scraggly cat worries he won’t be adopted, but then a kind old man spots him.

A feel-good story with cute illustrations and national acclaim for Blake." | Devon is recommending Just Like Old Times by Cherry Chichima (a penname for Cori Sykes of Write and Vibe publishing), "This is a casual romance novel with real and relatable characters and conflicts. The story will draw you in!" | Julie is recommending: The Scholarly Banana Series by Karly West: "Karly West takes the most gruesome old fairy tales she can find (the basis for the ones still read today), and somehow makes them hilarious with the assistance of stop-motion-esque photography of a banana acting out said tales, and then explaining them afterwards. These books are for ages 13+!" | Wendy is recommending Galactic Hell Cats by Marie Vibbert: "This is a fast-paced, fun joyride through space. Strap in and enjoy the ride with the most interesting gang of space-farers this side of the Galaxy. I hear there is a sequel in the works, and I can not wait to jump back into the action!" | Elisabeth is recommending We Made it to School Alive by Quartez Harris: "This pocket-sized poetry collection by former elementary school teacher Quartez Harris is a powerful, accessible encounter with school as a landscape of violence and grief but also transformation and joy. This is a must-read, especially as back-to-school season looms." | Sarah is recommending: When The Stars Go Dark by Paula McLain "This page-turner introduces us to characters who have become victims because of their past, and a detective who needs to solve these crimes while trying to understand her own past. A mystery with heart." | Miranda is recommending: When You and I Collide by Kate Norris: "An amazing adventure into the multiverse: perfect for lovers of Code Name Verity. High stakes, romance, great exploration of young women in science: this book has something for almost any reader." | Good to know: ▪ Open Mon-Wed & Fri-Sat:10-6, Thurs: 10am-8:30, Sun 12-5
