August 9, 2017 / Monica / Fiction, Teens, Travel
0

Summer vacation is almost over, and we hope it’s been fun and fulfilling. Believe it or not, youth services staff at the library tends to measure the year in terms of school days over calendar days too.

A Disaster of a Vacation

November 8, 2016 / Raidene / Adult, Fiction, Travel
0

What surprised me about Delia Ephron’s novel, Siracusa, is that I loved despising all the characters, even the little girl. Typically, if I don’t like at least a few of the characters in a book, I’ll put it right down. But, the two couples who travel on vacation together are each compelling in their dysfunctionality. Married […]

June 7, 2016 / Raidene / Adult, Memoir, Non-Fiction, Travel
0

Katherine Wilson’s debut memoir,  Only In Naples: lessons in food and famiglia from my mother-in-law, is engaging and lighthearted. Naples, sometimes called the Appalachia of Italy, may not be the first place you consider when planning a trip to Italy, but this book may change that opinion. Don’t expect to visit all the sites and cultural destinations […]
