Review of The Accidental Text by Becky Monson

 


Wrong number. Right guy?

Once upon a time, Maggie Cooper lived for adventure. Jumping out of planes was child’s play. Now she can’t even work up the nerve to ask out her coworker. For a bit of self-therapy, she begins to text her recently deceased mother’s phone—the only problem is that the number has been reassigned and for weeks she’s been unknowingly texting a stranger her deepest thoughts and feelings. There have also been some not-so-deep texts, like the ones about her appreciation for her coworker’s butt.

Review of The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections by Eva Jurczyk

International Bestseller

"With its countless revelations about the dusty realms of rare books, a likable librarian sleuth who has just the right balance of compassion and wit, and a library setting that is teeming with secrets, The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections is a rare treat for readers. I loved this book!"―Matthew Sullivan, author of Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore

Anxious People meets the delights of bookish fiction in a stunning debut following a librarian whose quiet life is turned upside down when a priceless manuscript goes missing. Soon she has to ask: what holds more secrets in the library―the ancient books shelved in the stacks, or the people who preserve them?


Liesl Weiss long ago learned to be content working behind the scenes in the distinguished rare books department of a large university, managing details and working behind the scenes to make the head of the department look good. But when her boss has a stroke and she's left to run things, she discovers that the library's most prized manuscript is missing.

Battlefield Earth: A Timeless Science Fiction Classic


It's the 40th anniversary of the release of the epic sci-fi novel Battlefield Earth. This story is as gripping as the sci-fi and fantasy icons Dune, Starship Troopers, and Lord of the Rings. So if you are someone who appreciates epic sagas that pull you into the story and don't let up, you'll have to try this.

Like most novels of this significance, it inspired an action movie. Roger Christian, one of the Star Wars directors, directed it, and John Travolta produced and starred in it as the evil alien. While you may not have seen it, it has become a sci-fi classic over the years. The expanded Blu-ray edition recently released with bonus content.
