New Books
There are many new titles at the library; here is a
sampling:
The Sentimentalists – by Johann Skibsrud.
Ms. Skibsrud won the 2010 Scotiabank Giller Prize
honouring the best in Canadian literature for this
novel. The book connects the flooding of an
Ontario town, the Vietnam War, a trailer in North
Dakota, and an unfinished boat in Maine.
Skin Hunger: A Resurrection of Magic, Book One
– by Kathleen Duey
This 2007 National Book Award Finalist for Young
People’s Literature is the first book in a dark,
complex, and compelling trilogy.
The Iliad – by Homer and The Complete Novels –
by George Orwell
If you are looking to read some of the classics,
these two titles just arrived.
