Kim says: "This historical mystery set in 18th century China was one of my favorite fiction reads of the year. Li Du is an exiled imperial librarian, wandering the Chinese countryside. He arrives in the southern borderland city of Dayan, only to discover the city preparing for the Emperor himself, who will command an astronomical event in the form of a solar eclipse during his historic visit to their province. When a Jesuit priest is murdered Li Du convinces his cousin, the local magistrate, to let him investigate. With time slipping away and the political intrigue mounting, Li Du’s fate rests on his ability to solve the crime. Debut author Elsa Hart does a masterful job of evoking time and place and I can’t wait to read more about Li Du’s adventures in The White Mirror, the next title in the series."

Recommended by Alexis Belasco, Information Specialist, Hampton Park Library
Alexis says: "My fiancé recommended this book to me. Every time I asked him for a book recommendation he would tell me to read The Name of the Wind, but I kept putting it off. I finally decided to give it a try when I had a lot of driving to do and could listen to it in the car. It took me a couple of chapters to really get into it, but then I was completely engrossed in the story of Kvothe the Kingkiller who came from nothing to become something. I love that each character has his or her own story; they have substance and depth to them. In addition, Rothfuss has done an amazing job of creating a world that consumes the reader and makes them want to know more about it."

Amy says: "Ms. French writes character-driven, atmospheric, police procedurals set in in Ireland. Her latest book, The Trespasser, was one of my favorites."
by Chris Carter
Recommended by Amy Weiler, Information Specialist, Sharon Forks Library
Amy says: "I could not put this psychological thriller down. A suspect is arrested when two severed heads are discovered in the trunk of his car. He will speak to only one person, an FBI agent with whom he was a childhood friend. The suspect claims he is innocent and much of the book are interrogation scenes between the men as the FBI agent tries to get into the brain of his old friend and determine if he really is evil. The book is very violent and gory. It is not for the squeamish."

Recommended by Holly Raus, Youth Specialist, Cumming Library
Holly says: "This is the story of Arthur Dent, who, seconds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, is plucked off the planet by his friend, Ford Prefect, who has been posing as an out-of-work actor for the last fifteen years but is really a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Together they begin a journey through the galaxy aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I have come across so many references to this book in pop culture that I felt I needed to read it and I was hooked from the first page. Rather bizarre but extremely funny, it was a very enjoyable read and surprisingly apt for today."

Recommended by Kayla Lawson, Youth Specialist, Hampton Park Library
Kayla says: "Nevernight is the story of a young girl out for revenge. After witnessing her father’s execution, Mia Corvere sets out to become a member of the Red Church. However, surviving the school of assassin’s deadly trials proves much harder than Mia first imagined. Her determination, training, and rare ability to communicate with shadows will be put to the test in the first installment of The Nevernight Chronicle. After hearing about this book on Goodreads, I was immediately intrigued. Kristoff’s writing has enough drive and wit to move the plot forward at an excellent pace. I loved the characters, especially Mia’s sarcastic shadow cat Mister Kindly. This is definitely one series I will look forward to with each installment."
