Our first meeting is Tuesday, November 30 @ 6:00 on Zoom. We are discussing American Predator: The Hunt for the Most Meticulous Serial Killer of the 21st Century by Maureen Callahan.

It's Banned Books Week!

Banned Books Week (September 26-October 2, 2021) is an annual event celebrating the freedom to read. Typically held during the last week of September, it spotlights current and historical attempts to censor books in libraries and schools. It brings together the entire book community — librarians, booksellers, publishers, journalists, teachers, and readers of all types — in shared support of the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox or unpopular.

Look at the video below to see the top 10 most challenged books of 2020.

Are you planning to read any banned or challenged books this week?

If you and your family would like to join us for a magical evening of Harry Potter Trivia, click here to register: https://rb.gy/xaryxg

It is taking place on Tuesday, October 5 at 6:00 over Zoom! Hope to see you there!!

Hello, everyone! I hope you are all doing well, and Happy September!

I took a break from posting in August, but I am back, and would love to hear what you are reading! I also wanted to mention we are going to be having some super cool virtual programs coming up, so make sure you follow us on FB if you aren't already: https://www.facebook.com/3Rivers.Regi...

One to look for in September is Harry Potter Trivia online! I will make sure to post the info here soon, but this is going to be a family-friendly & fun hour of trivia all about Harry Potter via Zoom!!

Stay safe out there and happy reading!!

Happy July!

I hope everyone has stayed safe from yesterday's storm, and that you all had a nice July 4th!

I would love to hear what everyone is reading. Right now, I am reading The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave. It is about a woman's husband who disappears after mysterious circumstances, and how she and her stepdaughter try to put the pieces together. So far, I am really liking it!

Would any of you be interested in meeting as a club via Zoom once a month? We can discuss what we are currently reading, and share our ideas with each other. If you are interested, let me know what day and time works for you, and I will try to come up with an accommodating time for everyone. I would love for this club to grow, and for us to interact more.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions regarding reading suggestions or any general library questions.

Happy Reading!
Jessica

I am so glad you are excited about Summer Reading, Whitney! Not sure if you know or not, but you can enter challenges and track your reading on the Beanstack App, and earn badges, etc. Here is the link: https://threerivers.axis360.baker-tay...

I just read the synopsis of that book, and it sounds so good! I was actually looking for my next read, so I think I will choose this one. Thank you for the suggestion! I will update when I am finished :D. I think this book would also make a great movie.

Hey, everyone! Happy May!

What have you all been reading? I just finished The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn. I decided to read this one, because it got turned into a movie and will be on Netflix this Friday! If you like suspense and true crime, I definitely recommend this book.

Summer Reading is just around the corner. There will be programs for all ages at all Three Rivers Libraries. Call your library or ask me if you have any questions, and make sure to sign up!

Happy Reading!
Jessica

Happy April, everyone!

I hope you are all doing well. We have been having lot's of great discussions these past couple of months, and I am looking forward to having more of them!

So, what are you all reading right now?


I am on a bit of a non-fiction kick, and am reading Bygone Badass Broads: 52 Forgotten Women Who Changed the World by Mackenzi Lee. This book goes into depth about 52 remarkable and forgotten trailblazing women from all over the world. And, there are illustrations!

If you are interested in reading this, we have it available to download through cloudLibrary: https://ebook.yourcloudlibrary.com/li...

How are you Dark Fever so far? I am seeing it get mixed reviews in the comment section on Goodreads. The Wives sounds so interesting! After I read about it, I thought to myself that it should be a movie, and then I just read Amazon is planning to turn it into a series. How cool!

I remember how popular Cinder was when it came out! I love the idea of the series. Do you still get the "fairy-tale" feeling when you read Cinder?

Good morning, everyone!

What is everyone reading this week?

Chelley wrote: "I'm reading the long walk by Stephen king and on earth we're briefly gorgeous by Ocean Vuong."

I know you have told me you have read a lot of Stephen King. Which book of his is your favorite? He has written so many, and I think for some people, they don't know where to start.

How are you liking On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous? I have seen so many great reviews on this book. It sounds so interesting, and it's on my list to read.

Brittani wrote: "This month I tried out my first audiobook in a long time, we used to listen to them on roadtrips all the time when I was younger. "Knockout" by Mia Gold, its like a cozy mystery, crime drama. The e..."
How fun! Lately I have been listening to podcasts on long car rides, but I think next time I will listen to an audiobook. I am glad you have been suggesting cozy mysterious this month, and in February. I haven't read too many of those, and that is a genre I would like to try out.

How is everyone's March reading going? Anyone have any good suggestions?

Happy March, everyone!

I hope you are all doing well. I want to give you all a big thank you for making February such an awesome month for our online book club! I have had so much fun hearing about what you all are reading, and I have picked up some suggestions I would have never thought of, and I hope you all have, too.

So, what are you currently reading right now? Are there any books that are coming out soon that you're excited about?

Happy Reading!

Haha, King is weird! I am amazed at how many books he has written, and how many ideas he has come up with.
