Narrated by Death, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a young foster girl living outside of Munich in Nazi Germany. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist � books. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library, wherever they are to be found. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, Liesel learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids, as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement. This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.

Book Discussion - Telling Stories reads "Life Sentences" by Laura Lippman

Tuesday, August 6, 2013 : 7:00 PM
Location: Mary Ann Mongan Library, 502 Scott Boulevard, Covington

Join us for a lively discussion of Laura Lippman's "Life Sentences"! New members are always welcome and books may be picked up at the Reference Desk. From its gripping opening pages...Life Sentences may be the most absorbing, entertaining mystery published in the last year."--Boston Globe USA Today calls Laura Lippman, "A writing powerhouse," and Life Sentences powerfully confirms it. Past and present, truth and memory collide in this searing novel from a New York Times bestselling author whose novels have won virtually every major prize bestowed for crime fiction--from the Edgar(R) to the Anthony to the Agatha to the Nero Wolfe Award. As she did in her blockbuster What the Dead Know, Lippman takes a brief hiatus from her popular series character, Baltimore p.i. Tess Monaghan, to tell a riveting story of deceptions and dangerously fragile truths that People magazine says, "Succeeds brilliantly."

Book Discussion - Telling Stories reads "Heresy" by S. J. Parris

Location: Mary Ann Mongan Library, 502 Scott Boulevard, Covington

Join us for a lively discussion of "Heresy" by S. J. Parris. New members are always welcome and books may be picked up at the Reference Desk. Giordano Bruno was a monk, poet, scientist, and magician on the run from the Roman Inquisition on charges of heresy for his belief that the Earth orbits the sun and that the universe is infinite. In S. J. Parris's gripping novel, Bruno's pursuit of this rare knowledge brings him to London, where he is unexpectedly recruited by Queen Elizabeth I and is sent undercover to Oxford University on the pretext of a royal visitation. Officially Bruno is to take part in a debate on the Copernican theory of the universe; unofficially, he is to find out whatever he can about a Catholic plot to overthrow the queen. His mission is dramatically thrown off course by a series of grisly murders and a spirited and beautiful young woman. As Bruno begins to discover a pattern in these killings, he realizes that no one at Oxford is who he seems to be. Bruno must attempt to outwit a killer who appears obsessed with the boundary between truth and heresy.

Book Discussion - Telling Stories reads "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern

Tuesday, December 3, 2013 : 7:00 PM
Location: Mary Ann Mongan Library, 502 Scott Boulevard, Covington

Join us for a lively discussion of "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern. New members are always welcome and books are available at the Reference Desk. The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des R�ves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway�a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love�a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands.
