Sunday Cozy Mystery

Book Review: Read or Alive

A Bookmobile mystery...

A match-made in cozy heaven for fans of Jenn McKinlay, Kate Carlisle, and book lovers everywhere, Nora Page's third Bookmobile mystery will (book)worm its way into your heart.

Wrongful accusations have librarian Cleo Watkins and her loved ones booked for trouble.

It's springtime and septuagenarian librarian Cleo Watkins is celebrating new blooms and old books. To her delight, the Georgia Antiquarian Book Society has brought its annual fair to Catalpa Springs in honor of Cleo's gentleman friend, respected antiquarian bookseller and restorer, Henry Lafayette. However, trouble rolls in with the fair when a flirtatious book scout makes the rounds, charming locals out of prized books.

Among the conned is Cleo's cousin, Dot, who handed over a signed, first edition of
Gone With the Wind. With no proof the scout took the valuable book, Dot is at a loss. And when the deceitful man is found murdered the very next morning, Dot becomes a prime suspect. To Cleo's dismay, so is Henry. The scene of the crime is behind Henry's shop and his bookbinding tool is the murder weapon. As evidence stacks up against Henry, the police aren't alone in questioning his innocence. Even friends and family ask Cleo how well she truly knows her gentleman friend.

Although books are at the heart of the crimes, Cleo feels dizzyingly out of her depths. Someone is setting up the people she holds dearest. With the authorities on the wrong trail, Cleo has no choice but to catalog the evidence herself. Along with her trusty bookmobile cat Rhett Butler, it will be up to Cleo to book the real killer for good.

Book Review

The bookmobile mysteries are such a fun read. The author transports you right into the charming southern town of Catalpa Springs. You experience the sights, smells, and tastes, and you feel like the characters are your neighbors. The plot was particularly clever with a cast of colorful players; there were surprising twists right up until the very end!

Pete the Cat: Too Cool for School

 

Welcome to the Melville Library ! 

Spotlighting some of my favorite Back to School  !!!! 

School starts here on  Thursday!


If you want to be cool, just be YOU! That's the message of this funny, relatable Pete the Cat school story—and kids will laugh and agree.

Pete the Cat can't decide what to wear to school inPete the Cat: Too Cool for School. With so many groovy options to choose from, Pete just keeps adding on.

All of Pete's friends have a suggestion for what he should wear to school. But by the time he's added cowboy boots, shorts with fish, his red shirt AND his yellow shirt—and even more—he's too hot.

It's time to make his own clothing decisions and head back to school! You and your kids will giggle at Pete and his clothing choices, resolved with a positive empowering message.

Pete the Cat: Too Cool for School is a My First I Can Read book. Each My First I Can Read book is carefully crafted using basic language, word repetition, sight words, and sweet illustrations—which means it's perfect for shared reading with emergent readers. The active, engaging My First I Can Read stories have appealing plots and lovable characters, encouraging children to continue their reading journey.
