New Booktalk Booklist

Here's another Booktalk Booklist that we haven't previously shared here on the BookGuide blog -- former Gere Branch supervisor Carol S. presented Carol's Bookbag 2011 in November 2011 at both the Bethany and Gere BooksTalk sessions. Her talk covered 20 books, and featured a mix of both fiction and non-fiction titles. [Click here to check out the current schedule of Book Talks.]

Tag team booktalkers Carol S. and Deanne J. presented a look at a selection of interesting fiction and non-fiction titles recently for both the Gere Books Talk series (Nov 19th 2007) and Bethany Books Talk series (Nov 30th 2007). You can click any of the linked titles below to see the availability of these titles at locations of the Lincoln City Libraries, and in many cases to see plot blurbs.
