Summer Reading has begun!

We're almost one week into our Summer Reading Programs and we're off to a great start! My favorite part of the Adult Summer Reading program is looking at all of the great books that people are reading. Here are some of the books people have reviewed thus far:


Haunted Missouri by Jason Offutt
A look at some of Missouri's haunted places. The author chose places that are open to the public so others can go ghost-hunt. Peace Cemetary in Joplin and the Spook Light are featured. Don't read in the dark of night!

Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zebin
This teen book deals with the tough subject of death. When Liz gets hit by a car, she wakes up and finds herself on a boat in white pajamas. She quickly learns that her boat is headed to "Elsewhere", a place not like heaven or hell, but somewhere in between. In Elsewhere, as years pass you grow younger. Will Liz be able to acclimate to her new "life" or will she constantly be wishing for what was lost in the car accident? Definitely a great read with a compelling plot.

Me of Little Faith by Lewis Black
Comedian Lewis Black dissects the topic of religion in this sorta-funny but not-funny-enough-to-make-it-be-worth-reading memoir. From his native Jewish faith to Mormons to Muslims and every faith in between, nobody is spared in the barbed lambasts of Black's bitter world view.

Dance Upon the Air by Nora Roberts
When Nell arrives on Three Sisters Island she feels like she is home at last. She falls in love but fear of the past continues to intrude. Does she have the power to triumph?
