It’s been a summer full of great weather for reading! A rainy June, a humid July, and some clear August skies have given PFL staff a chance to sit down with some great books. Read on for the list of our favorite titles of standouts new and old.
The All of It by Jeannette Haien
The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese
The Dog of the North by Elizabeth McKenzie
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
A dragon-filled fantasy read that reminded me a lot of The Hunger Games and A Court of Thornes and Roses.
Hotel Cuba by Aaron Hamburger
The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise by Colleen Oakley
The Neverending Story by Michael Ende
Perhaps unsurprisingly, this is much better than the movie. (I still love the movie anyway.)
Night of the Ghoul by Scott Snyder
The Road to Dalton by Shannon Bowring
Rooster Fighter Vol. 1 by Shu Sakuratani
A funny and bizarre manga about a rooster who fights demons.
Small Mercies by Dennis LeHane
Stone Cold Fox by Rachel Koller Croft
Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune
Welcome Home or Someplace Like It by Charlotte Agell
A cute and creative story that takes place in Maine.
You Could Make This Place Beautiful by Maggie Smith
The author is a poet, and the formatting of the memoir was really engaging.
