GREAT NEW BOOKS COMING!!!

Summertime is coming and it is time to take a break from our technology. Even as a ‘Tech Guy’, every summer I make sure I disconnect for a bit which means I get to read!  It gives my brain a chance to recharge and I really do enjoy relaxing with a good book.  We always plan to have a bunch of new books arrive and be available for summer checkout.  I found out today most of the books have arrived or are in transit.  Come by, look for a recommendation, stop by the Main Library and say Hi!  Also….

Bell Recommendation

Skyhunter by Marie Lu

At my core, I am a Sci-Fi reader. One of the authors who visited ISB is Marie Lu. We hope next year to begin having author visits again as this always makes a great impact on our students. Marie was awesome as she started her career working on Mario Cart the game for Nintendo. Since she has written a ton of books that are generally Sci-Fi crossed with Dystopic themes. I am nearly done reading this one and I can’t wait to get the next in the series. In the future, humans are stalked by ghosts who feed on us like zombies. They become violent and grow to large heights. Teams of two Strikers and Shields fight these ghosts to protect others. At the same time, the Federation attacks Mara, one of the human settlements in an ongoing war. There is a lot happening and I am excited to see how it all comes together. I suggest any Marie Lu book for the younger reader or those who love a good Sci-Fi trilogy.
