Book of the Month: At Home:
A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson
Have you ever wondered about the history of your
home? Where did the word “pantry” come from and
why do forks always have four tines? Bill Bryson dives into the history of the home
and how halls became passageways instead of
general living spaces
and why our dining rooms look and function the way they do. Full of humor and incredibly interesting stories, this book
takes you on a tour through the house to introduce you to
things you see everyday but never knew the history behind. Pick it up at the library today!
Gwen’s life as a sixteen-year old living in London feels pretty normal to her. Despite the fact that she can see ghosts and her cousin is the carrier of a gene that will someday allow her to travel through time, life isn’t too complicated. That all changes when Gwen discovers that the talent her family has always assumed lies with Charlotte has actually been passed on to Gwen. All of a sudden, Gwen finds herself jumping through time with absolutely no idea how to control it. The first
in a trilogy, this book is sure to keep you glued to your seat.
