It’s Valentine’s Day and here are some books to enjoy with your honey be it partner, child, pet, or friend.
Dear John by Nicholas Sparks – With a title like Dear John, have the tissues nearby.
Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen – This magic realism featuring caterer Claire Waverley will leave readers under a lovely spell.
A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick – Is it lust or is it love? This novel of deception takes place in frozen Wisconsin in 1907.
Oh summer, it’s the perfect time to curl up in a hammock with a great book. And one that we really enjoyed was The Help by first time novelist Kathryn Stockett. Set in the early ’60s, it follows the lives of three women – two black maids and a well to do employer’s daughter. You’ll become wrapped in their lives and as you read, start to cast a movie version. 
The RML Friends Used Book Sale, Summer edition, will be held Saturday, June 13 from 9 Am to 1 PM at the library, 15 School Drive, Marlborough, CT. Rain or shine! We will accept bulk donations beginning May 4. Please remember, items must be in saleable, good condition, no mold or mildew.

Author Susan Campbell comes to Richmond. Thursday, January 22 at 7 PM. She’ll talk about her new book, Dating Jesus: A Story of Fundamentalism, Feminism and the American Girl.
I am reading and loving this first novel by Kathleen Kent. Could it be because Marlborough’s own Vi Schwarzman had a hand in this just published novel? Vi helped the author with her research on the Carrier Family. The story is grippingly told by ten year old Sarah Carrier, about her family in 17th century in Andover, Massachusetts who are 
accused of witchcraft.
The Friends Fall book sale will be Saturday, September 20 from 9 AM to 1 PM. Donations for the sale will be accepted through September 16. Remember – items must be in good condition. No text books, Condensed books or mold/mildew books.
