Welcome to Booked on a Feeling — because the best stories start at your library.
Check out if you like stories of adoption, single moms and strength. This book was very well written in my opinion. I definitely felt like I walked a mile in her shoes. I was invested and wanted to know her story. Oksana did a great job of expressing her state…
January 3, 2023 Becky Check Out If You Like Heroic Holocaust Biographies This title by Holocaust survivor, Eddie Jaku, grabbed my attention and interest immediately. One of my favorite books to read when I was younger was Diary of Anne Frank and I tend to gravitate toward Holocaust stories and…
Check it out if you know what they say about good intentions… As a teenager I read Go Ask Alice, as many teenagers have since the “true diary” came out in 1971. Like many others who read it, I was shocked and horrified at how a young girl could go…

Check out if you enjoy folklore, fairy tales, and/or disembodied goblin heads. Did you know that the folklore section of our library is housed in the nonfiction department? We are always striving to better our collection of these awesome tales and have a few interesting titles we just added! One…
Check out if you are intrigued by human/nature interactions or just enjoy wildlife stories. I got really excited for this one to come out, not only because I enjoy Mary Roaches approachable, quirky writing style, but also because I am just really keen on wildlife stories. (If you couldn’t already…
Check out if you believe in learning from history. I started reading this because I read The Boys in the Boat by the same author and LOVED it. (Side note: if you haven’t read that book you really need to.) With that said, other than the World War II aspect,…
