This Week's Staff Picks Linda Quinn Library Associate With Memorial Day fast approaching to signal the start of summer, we've got some audio book suggestions to make road trips seem shorter: Billy Summers is a killer for hire and the best in the business. But he'll do the job only if the target is a truly bad guy. Now Billy wants out but there's one last job he has to do. Taste is a reflection on the intersection of food and life, filled with anecdotes about Tucci's growing up in Westchester, New York in an Italian-American family. From Danny Pellegrino, creator of the hugely successful podcast Everything Iconic! Stories that will make you laugh, cry, and dig up all your awkward middle-school pictures. Fifteen-year-old Ellie Mack was the perfect daughter. She and her boyfriend made a teenaged golden couple. She was days away from an idyllic summer vacation with her whole life ahead of her. And then she was gone. Ten years later her mother is still trying to piece together what might have happened to Ellie.
| The Golden Couple is the next electrifying audiobook from Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, the #1 New York Times bestselling author duo behind You Are Not Alone, An Anonymous Girl, and The Wife Between Us. If Avery Chambers can't fix you in 10 sessions, she won't take you on as a client. |

In Person Main Book Club Wednesday, June 29 at 1:30 p.m.The June Book Club Choice is The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams. All are welcome. Claudia Silk is the moderator of the discussion. Set during the height of the women’s suffrage movement and with the Great War looming, The Dictionary of Lost Words reveals a lost narrative, hidden between the lines of a history written by men. Inspired by actual events, author Pip Williams has delved into the archives of the Oxford English Dictionary to tell this highly original story. The Dictionary of Lost Words is a delightful, lyrical, and deeply thought-provoking celebration of words and the power of language to shape the world.
