Read On! Summer Reads

August 15, 2018

It was a summer full of reading for your Pryor library staff. Here’s a short list of the books we enjoyed most this summer:

For Fiction Readers:  

“Cold Earth” by Ann Cleeves (found in adult fiction) is the latest in Cleeves’ “Shetland” series. The series is set in Scotland’s Shetland Islands and follows detective Jimmy Perez as he solves crimes on these remote islands.

“The Magic Misfits” by Neil Patrick Harris (found in Overdrive, our ebook library) is the tale of how young Carter went from being a street magician with his evil uncle to saving a small town from a con artist’s carnival and gaining much needed friends along the way.

“The End of the World Running Club” by Adrian J. Walker (found in adult fiction) follows Edgar Hill who finds himself on the wrong side of the country when world-ending devastation strikes. His best hope to run through the 500 miles of wasteland that spans between him and his family.

For Nonfiction Readers:

“#GIRLBOSS” by Sophia Amoruso (found in Overdrive, our ebook library) is inspired by Amoruso’s climb from being a grifting teenager to the founder and CEO of Nasty Gal, one of the fastest growing retailers in 2012. Amoruso offers advice for other non-traditional leaders on how to trust their instincts and blaze their own path.

“The Truth About Animals: Stoned sloths, lovelorn hippos, and other tales from the wild side of wildlife” by Lucy Cook (found at 590.2 COO) offers surprising and humorous facts about animals, debunks some common myths, and is an all-around fun read.

“Wild Embers: Poems of rebellion, fire, and beauty” by Nikita Gill (found at 821 GIL) is a book of poetry that explores “the fire in every woman.” Highly recommended by the staff member who read it.

Of course, we have many more books to recommend! All you have to do is ask!
