High School Book Group Reads Midwinterblood for March 26th
Copies of the book are available in the Teen Area on the upper level of the library.
Need a ride? Campbell High School students can take the late bus from school to the library.
About the Book
What would you sacrifice for someone you’ve loved for ever?
“I will live seven times and I will look for you and love you in each life. Will you follow?”
In 2073 on the remote and secretive island of Blessed, where rumour has it that no one ages and no children are born, a young couple is ritually slain.
Their deaths echo a moment ten centuries before, when, in the dark of the moon, a king and his queen were tragically torn apart. Their souls searched to be reunited as mother and son, artist and child, forbidden lovers, victims of a vampire, but only a bloody sacrifice will rekindle their true love.
Winner of the Michael L. Printz Award.

About the Book
Growing up an
orphan in an isolated cottage in the woods, young Terence never
expected much adventure. But upon the arrival of Gawain, his life takes a
surprising turn. Gawain is destined to become one of the most famous
knights of the Round Table. Terence becomes Gawain's squire and leaves
his secluded life for one of adventure in King Arthur's court. In no
time Terence is plunged into the exciting world of kings, wizards,
knights, wars, magic spells, dwarfs, damsels in distress, and
enchanters. As he adjusts to his new life, he proves to be not only an
able squire but also a keen observer of the absurdities around him. His
duties take him on a quest with Gawain and on a journey of his own, to
solve the mystery of his parentage. Filled with rapier-sharp wit,
jousting jocularity, and chuckleheaded knights, this is King Arthur's
court as never before experienced.
In
medieval England, fourteen-year-old Terence finds his tranquil existence
suddenly changed when he becomes the squire of the young Gawain of
Orkney and accompanies him on a long quest, proving Gawain's worth as a
knight and revealing an important secret about his own true identity.
The Squire's Tale is book one of ten in the The Squire's Tale series.

All Booked Up Reads The Lotus Eaters for March
About the Book
A unique and sweeping debut novel
of an American female combat photographer in the Vietnam War, as she
captures the wrenching chaos and finds herself torn between the love of
two men.
On a stifling day in 1975, the
North Vietnamese army is poised to roll into Saigon. As the fall of the
city begins, two lovers make their way through the streets to escape to a
new life. Helen Adams, an American photojournalist, must take leave of a
war she is addicted to and a devastated country she has come to love.
Linh, the Vietnamese man who loves her, must grapple with his own
conflicted loyalties of heart and homeland. As they race to leave, they
play out a drama of devotion and betrayal that spins them back through
twelve war-torn years, beginning in the splendor of Angkor Wat, with
their mentor, larger-than-life war correspondent Sam Darrow, once
Helen's infuriating love and fiercest competitor, and Linh's secret
keeper, boss and truest friend.
Tatjana Soli paints a searing
portrait of an American woman’s struggle and triumph in Vietnam, a
stirring canvas contrasting the wrenching horror of war and the
treacherous narcotic of obsession with the redemptive power of love.
Readers will be transfixed by this stunning novel of passion, duty and
ambition among the ruins of war.

Readers of the Round Table Read Gifts for February 16th
Copies of the book are available in the Teen Area on the upper level of the library.
Need a ride? Campbell High School students can take the late bus from school to the library.
About the Book
Scattered among poor, desolate
farms, the clans of the Uplands possess gifts. Wondrous gifts: the
ability—with a glance, a gesture, a word—to summon animals, bring forth
fire, move the land. Fearsome gifts: They can twist a limb, chain a
mind, inflict a wasting illness. The Uplanders live in constant fear
that one family might unleash its gift against another. Two young
people, friends since childhood, decide not to use their gifts. One, a
girl, refuses to bring animals to their death in the hunt. The other, a
boy, wears a blindfold lest his eyes and his anger kill.
In this beautifully crafted
story, Ursula K. Le Guin writes of the proud cruelty of power, of how
hard it is to grow up, and of how much harder still it is to find, in
the world's darkness, gifts of light.

Let's Pretend This Never Happened is February's Book of the Month
About the Book
When Jenny Lawson was little, all
she ever wanted was to fit in. That dream was cut short by her
fantastically unbalanced father and a morbidly eccentric childhood. It
did, however, open up an opportunity for Lawson to find the humor in the
strange shame-spiral that is her life, and we are all the better for
it.
In the irreverent Let’s Pretend This Never Happened,
Lawson’s long-suffering husband and sweet daughter help her uncover the
surprising discovery that the most terribly human moments—the ones we
want to pretend never happened—are the very same moments that make us
the people we are today. For every intellectual misfit who thought they
were the only ones to think the things that Lawson dares to say out
loud, this is a poignant and hysterical look at the dark, disturbing,
yet wonderful moments of our lives.
"Lawson’s self-deprecating humor is not only gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate; it allows her to speak…in a real and raw way.”—O, The Oprah Magazine
"[Lawson] writes with a rambling irreverence that makes you wish she were your best friend.”—Entertainment Weekly
