Stephanie Plum is Back!
Twelve Sharp is a most enjoyable read. Evanovich never disappoints. Stephanie Plum continues to deliver laughs and the characters are welcome and unforgettable – L. B.

Weird New England
Joe Citro's fabulous travel guide which inspires you to visit each and every strange place in New England. Before the summer is over, I want to visit Dracula Drive in Trumbull, Gillette’s Castle in Hadlyme and ghost cars in Hamden Plaza. ~D.W.
Note: Sadly, the Ghost Parking Lot was dismantled in September 2003 but you can still read about it and see pix. I was there - weirdly cool! – Claudia, Team Blog

Welcome Bloggers!
Get wrapped up in reading online this summer with our book blog! Staff bloggers John, Mary, Claudia & Yan will be chatting about all things books: from bestsellers to hot topics to what's new and unusual. New to blogs? They're interactive - you can add a comment if you'd like. Think of it as an online book club. So let's blog!
Galante and Company
The Galante saga being played out in the media will make a good book someday. Some of the many titles we have about that organization which does not really exist are: Five Families: the Rise, Decline and Resurgence of America's Most Powerful Mafia Empires or Brutal: The Untold Story of My Life Inside Whitey Bulger's Irish Mob and lighter fare: The Goomba Diet: Living Large and Loving It
Honk If You Get It!
Exuberant World Cup soccer fans, celebrating Brazilian team victories, have taken to the Danbury streets lately with impromptu motorcades and a LOT of honking. What's it all about? Franklin Foer, author of How Soccer Explains the World suggests there are broader political, economic and cultural implications. Booklist says "...it's written in a crisp and engaging style that will hook even readers who have no idea how the 'beautiful game' is played." Check out the Mother Jones interview with Foer. Which team are you rooting for?
