Is your New Year’s resolution to read more in 2021?  Well, Borrow Box  from North Ayrshire Libraries have thousands of eBooks and audio books available for loan.

For more information see their website.

As a taster, I will be focusing on 3 different books each school day in February to entice you to read something new. It will be an A-Z of authors – I am a librarian after all!

A is for Anderson – Sophie Anderson’s “The House with Chicken Legs”.  Marinka dreams of a normal life, where her house stays in one place long enough for her to make friends. But her house has chicken legs and moves on without warning. For Marinka’s grandmother is Baba Yaga, who guides spirits between this world and the next.

B is for Black – Holly Black’s “The Cruel Prince”.  It is the start of a series full of wonder, fantasy and lots of bloodlust.

One terrible morning, Jude and her sisters see their parents murdered in front of them. The terrifying assassin abducts all three girls to the world of Faerie, where Jude is installed in the royal court but mocked and tormented by the Faerie royalty for being mortal.

As Jude grows older, she realises that she will need to take part in the dangerous deceptions of the fey to ever truly belong. But the stairway to power is fraught with shadows and betrayal. And looming over all is the infuriating, arrogant and charismatic Prince Cardan.

C is for Collins – Tim Collins “Diary of a Wimpy Vampire”. Nigel starts the new term as one of the most popular pupils in school, and he’s finally got a girlfriend after more than eighty years of being single. But his life soon unravels when a new pupil, Jason, joins the school, and has his sights set firmly on Nigel’s girlfriend. Vampire and werewolf go head to head in the pursuit of love . . . with hilarious consequences!
