Looking for some ideas for beach reading? Maybe one of these, recommended by Stratford Library Staff....

"Sinners and Saints by Eileen Dreyer is a well-written mystery, set in New Orleans. The female detective is a forensic nurse loaded with emotional baggage, searching for her missing sister. A real 'page turner' that is perfect for summer reading."

"In the book Three Girls and Their Brother by Teresa Rebeck, three gorgeous teenage sisters from a famous literary family suddenly become the "It" girls after a New Yorker magazine photo shoot. Follow the family mess that ensues. Funny, clever and sad in a few parts, it makes a great beach read."

"I'm reading Lee Child's latest Jack Reacher thriller Nothing to Lose. It's the same formula, of course, but very satisfying summer reading."

Come on in and stock up for August.

Staff Picks

Here are a few of the things we are reading this summer (and you can too!)

"I listened to a good book on CD, Born On A Blue Day, by Daniel Tammet. A touching biography of a savant. Very informative about Savant syndrome. The book has a very beautiful ending. I replayed it repeatedly. To balance things out, I am reading Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary III: Learning to Talk More Gooder Fastly. VERY FUNNY !”

"The mystery I Shall Not Want is the newest series by Julia Spencer-Fleming, and it continues the main story about Police Chief Russ Van Alstyne and Reverend Clare Fergusson. With their story, a backdrop in the Adirondacks, and additional suspenseful plotlines, I thought this book was quite enjoyable"

"In the true story The Soloist, by Steve Lopez, the author, an L.A. newspaper columnist, writes about his discovery of and friendship with a former Julliard scholarship student who has descended into a world of schizophrenia and is now living under a bridge."
