Melissa - Youth Services Manager
Melissa got the Action/Suspense category! She immediately went to grab Riley Sager's The Only One Left! Here is a teaser for this action/suspense novel!
"-- -- -- -- I want to tell you everything 'It wasn’t me,' Lenora said. But she’s the only one not dead. As Kit helps Lenora write about the events leading to the Hope family massacre, it becomes clear there’s more to the tale than people know. But when new details about her predecessor’s departure come to light, Kit starts to suspect Lenora might not be telling the complete truth—and that the seemingly harmless woman in her care could be far more dangerous than she first thought."

OH THE HORROR! I don't think Olivia could have had two more different categories for "This or That" if we tried! Olivia landed on Misery by Stephen King for her horror pick. Here is a brief summery of a book that revolves around an author and his "biggest fan".

Now Annie wants Paul to write his greatest work – just for her. She has a lot of ways to spur him on. One is a needle. Another is an ax. And if they don’t work, she can get really nasty."
