Hello from the Flatwoods Branch of the Greenp County Library System.
This has been one hot week and we still have more coming. Today, I think it was supposed to be 93 degrees with heat index of 102. I don't know if we made it there or not, but I am looking forward to a change.
We had the library con at the library today and the place was packed with people, adults and children, all dressed in in their character costumes. There were some very elaborate costumes. We also had a petting zoo outside the library in the back lot. I didn't get a chance to go out there, but they had goats, chickens, ducks and an alpaca.
I didn't brave the heat to go to the petting zo, but there were a lot of people enjoying it. I left before it was over, but there was a great crowd and everyone looked like they were having a great time.
This week I decided to pick out some new authors that are trying to get on those hot lists of books: Katja Millay-The Sea of Tranquility, Kevin Kane-Crazy Rich Asians. Elaine Hessey-The Sweetest Hallelujah, Jessica Brockmole-Letters from Skye, Jo Plazza-Love Rehab, Linda Lambert-The Cairo Code, Natalie Brown-The Lovebird, Saskia Serginson-The Twins, J. J. King-Mountains of the Moon, Gill Hormby-The Hive.
New York Times Best Sellers
House of Spies-Daniel Silva, Camino Island-John Grisham, Murder Games-James Patterson, Into theWater-Paula Hawkins, Use of Force-Brad Thor, The Identicals-Elin Hillerbrand, The Duchess-Danielle Steel, Gentleman in Moscow-Amor Forbes, Seven Stones to Stand or Fall-Diana Gabaldon, Kathy Reichs-Two Nights
Two Nights-Kathy Reichs
Book review
Meet Sunday Night. a woman with Physical and Psychological scars, and a killer instinct.
Sunnie has spent many years running from the past. burying secrets and building a life in which she needs noone and feels nothing. A girl has gone missing, she listens to the chaos and the explosion. Sunnie knows that the family needs her help.
Is the girl dead? Did someone take her? If she's out there, why doesn't she want to be found? Sunnie has to face her own fears and demons because they might lead to the truth about what really happened all those years ago.
Kathy Reichs is a very popular fiction writer. This book sounds like it would be a good read.

A cat tale
My two featured cats, Smokey and Stripe and the guest cat. Olive have been busy, this week. Lauren Cagle, my co-worker’s family cat. Olive, has been letting them know that you don't own a cat, they own you. Sometimes cat owners forget that. Well Olive let them know that when she wants to sleep you stay out of her territory, but if she wants to play, then it is your duty to play with her. She even let the family dogs know that those are the rules. I do believe she got her way.
Smokey and Stripe were outside last night. I usually get up to see if they want in during the night, sometimes they do sometimes they don't. Last night though, I opened the door, looked out and saw Stripe. He did his stretching exercise then he turned around.
I had no idea what he was doing, but he went to the edge of the porch looked down in the yard. The next thing I knew, Smokey was jumping on the porch to come in also.
I don't know why he was looking out for Smokey because when they came in to get their cat treats they were being mean to each other. Crazy cats.
