I pledge allegiance to the #BookFace.
Start the weekend off with a bang with this week’s #BookFaceFriday, “Bicentennial Summer” by Chris Poore (Fourth Chance Press, 2024). This young adult, coming-of-age novel is available as a book club kit for your library.
It’s a new addition to the book club kit collection, thanks to a donation. Our Book Club Kit collection has 2,491 titles, and is bolstered by generous donations from book clubs and libraries across Nebraska. If you want to find out what titles have been recently added to the collection, you can find a search in the Browse Options section for New Additions.“Bicentennial Summer is everything I want in a small town coming-of-age story; sweet, melancholy, and as Proustian as the smell of cornfields in July. Chris Poore is a welcome new voice in midwestern fiction.”
―Sean Doolittle, Device Free Weekend
