It's spring: the days are lengthening, pollen is in the air (and on sidewalks, cars ... it's everywhere!). After the darkness, dormancy and hibernation that mark winter, new life abounds in spring. In my neighborhood, azaleas are in full bloom: purple, shades of pink or white flowers, with bumblebees abuzz. I've seen fox kits, which were born under a neighbor's shed, and a baby possum outside my backdoor. The yellow-bellied sapsuckers have left for cooler climates and other birds have returned
This book was read by Courtney Bippley who is a Reference Librarian at the Main Campus Library. Why did you choose to read this book? I’m doing the POPSUGAR reading challenge this year so I read this book to fulfill the steampunk novel requirement. What did you like about it? I enjoyed the main character who, unmarried, is considered to be a spinster but never lets that stop her from doing what she wants. She is a heroine who is very direct in thought, speech, and action, which is refreshing

This book was read by Courtney Bippley who is a Reference Librarian at the Main Campus Library. Why did you choose to read this book? A friend recommended this book to me and I trust her judgement. Also, I’d been meaning to read a book by this author for a while. She's well known for being an award winning, female, African American scifi/fantasy writer. I'm sorry I didn't read one of her books before she died in 2006. What did you like about it? I liked the realism of the time travel. Not in the

This book was read by Meredith Lewis, a Reference Librarian at (mostly) the Orange County Campus Library. [caption id="attachment_2035" align="aligncenter" width="198"] The Fire Sermon by Francesca Haig[/caption] Why did you choose to read this book? If we’re being honest, the cover was impressive—a picture of a burned out Omega symbol with no other text and artistically “burned” corners. I picked it up, realized it was dystopian lit without a zombie apocalypse (nuclear destruction, yes) and not
