Book Buzz Feature: The Wood at Midwinter by Susanna Clarke
Unsurprisingly, when I look back at my childhood the books that dominated are the Narnia books. It just was a world in which I felt completely at home. I think it wasn’t that I realized fantasy literature did something different perhaps from other literature I just felt more at home in Narnia and in other similar books perhaps historical books in some way that wasn’t the modern world. It just it made more sense to me...I feel that fantasy literature ― good fantasy literature ― gives meaning to the reader, the reader finds a world which is meaningful when so much of the world that we actually live in we feel, probably wrongly, but we feel is meaningless.
–Susanna Clarke, in conversation with Alan Moore, British Library

Decide For Yourself Banned Book Feature:
One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
Surrounding the unsettling mystery of the death of an infamous high school tattler, One of Us is Lying focuses on the 4 suspects in the murder of Simon Kelleher. A thrilling “whodunnit,” One of Us is Lying will leave you guessing until the very last page and make your blood run cold at every unexpected turn. This chilling novel is both unpredictable and impossible to put down, keeping you engaged through the twists and betrayals of the story.
