Pick of the Week- Red Queen

is The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard.  This exciting new fantasy novel by a local author (she's from East Longmeadow) has spent 10 weeks on the New York Times best seller list!  The story follows Mare, a teenager who lives in a world divided ruled by silver blooded elites who have special powers and red blooded people who live in squalor and are forced to serve the Silvers.  Mare, born with red blood, discovers that she has a special power, too.  Can she use this power to change her world?

Pick of the Week- Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy

is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.  This hilarious story of Arthur Dent, the sole human survivor of Earth's adventures around the galaxy will keep you laughing til the end of time. This is one of my all time favorite books.  If you like British humor, this is the book for you.
