Hello (from a very quiet book club member). I would love to read The Half-Drowned King by Linnea Hartsuyker. I think it would make a fine lake-side read. Pick up at Central please. Thank you very much, Lena.

[Rocio]

Hello, I would like to read "We Crossed the Bridge and It Trembled" if still available. My branch is Woodside. Thank you, I enjoy these ARCs and I have been winner in the past.

[Maureen]

I love these giveaways too. Intrigued by the premise behind The Cottingley Secret by Gaynor. If no one's picked this one yet, I could pick up at Woodside. Thanks so much!

[Susan]

"The Sworn Virgin" sounds good and reviews are glowing so if not spoken for, I will take the ARC. I can pick it up at Woodside. Thanks for adding to my summer reading collection.

Hello Lena, I think it would make a fine lakeside read as well! It is a Dewey Diva pick, so should be good. You can pick it up from the 3rd floor info desk at Central anytime.

Hi Maureen, Dewey Diva picks are the seasonal title picks of the publisher reps...kind of like Heather's picks in the bookstore, only we hear about them pre-publication.
