Last week, I took the reins at my town's library, and since then, I've been donating a book every day that I work.
I'm doing so partly because I'm working within the constraints of a small collections budget that has to be stretched across all areas of the library, but mostly because I have MORE BOOKS THAN ANY ONE PERSON COULD POSSIBLY NEED, and it'll make me happy to share.
Today's book: The Friday Society, by Adrienne Kress:
Unless otherwise noted, all donated books come from my personal collection, and have been reviewed by me, either here or at Kirkus Reviews.Considering the cover art, it’s not surprising that Adrienne Kress’ The Friday Society has been billed in more than one place (including here at Kirkus) as a sort-of steampunk Charlie’s Angels. And while it’s not always safe to judge books by their covers, in this case, what you see is what you get.
A adore this book. I love that is focuses on female friendship/camaraderie and there is still plenty of action. I hope it gets plenty of use at your library!
