New Books Galore!!

Mrs Vaughan has been busy processing loads of new books won from Lit in Colour Competition – 100 Penguin books by authors of colour for you to enjoy! Although the books arrived last October, they have been in storage until Mrs Vaughan unearthed them!

Now ready for loan, these fiction and non-fiction books are a fabulous addition to the library stock, improving the diversity of books available.

Thanks to the Lit in Colour team at Penguin Books for this fantastic donation.

Merry Christmas! Final recommendation

Mrs Vaughan hopes you have found something good to read over the holidays and have enjoyed the Christmas inspired recommendations.

The final recommendation is “Twas the nightshift before Christmas” by Adam Kay.

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat… but 1.4 million NHS staff are heading off to work. In this perfect present for anyone who has ever set foot in a hospital, Adam Kay delves back into his diaries for a hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking peek behind the blue curtain at Christmastime. It is a love letter to all those who spend their festive season on the front line.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Happy reading!

Tuesday’s Christmas recommendation

Only one more sleep until we stop for the holidays!

Today’s recommendation is in equal parts hilarious, poignant, suspenseful and thrilling, “The Christmas Train” by David Baldacci and is available on NA Libraries Borrow Box.

Disillusioned journalist Tom Langdon must get from Washington to LA in time for Christmas. Forced to take the train across the country because of a slight ‘misunderstanding’ at airport security, he begins a journey of self-discovery and rude awakenings, mysterious goings-on and thrilling adventures, screwball escapades and holiday magic.

He has no idea that the locomotives pulling him across America will actually take him into the rugged terrain of his own heart, where he will rediscover people’s essential goodness and someone very special he believed he had lost.
