That is a great suggestion! We agree that it would be easier to budget the ten monthly checkouts if we were able to listen to the first thirty seconds of an audio book or test out the first chapter of an ebook to see if it has us hooked enough to keep reading. We passed […]
Author of the Month: Celeste Ng
When Celeste Ng's debut novel, Everything I Never Told You, came out in 2014, it had a bit of a slow start (debuts often do). And then, just like that, word spread. This book was unique -- it had the suspense of a mystery, the depth and complexity of quality literary fiction, and a story line […]
