#BookFaceFriday “A Winter’s Love” by Madeleine L’Engle
#BookFace it’s cold outside!
Well, it’s sort of cold outside, so we’re going with it! Check out “A Winter’s Love: A Novel” by Madeleine L’Engle (Open Road Media, 2017) it’s available as an eBook in Nebraska OverDrive Libraries. L’Engle was the author of sixty books, her most famous work being, “A Wrinkle in Time,” it and several other of her titles are also available for readers in OverDrive. Our model this week is a new addition to the Nebraska Library Commission! Welcome to Alisha Baginski, our new Federal Documents Staff Assistant. She joins us from the Omaha Public Library, she has a degree in History, and a background working in museums and archives. Alisha enjoys reading mystery and fantasy, her favorite books include “The Great Gatsby” by F Scott Fitzgerald and “The Murder on the Orient Express” by Agatha Christie. She likes to read a mix of audiobooks (Libby is the best!!) and physical books, we think she’s going to fit right in!
Poignant and powerful, this is a timeless tale of the turmoil that comes with falling in—and out—of love, and “a convincing story of mixed loyalties and divided affections.”
— Kirkus Reviews

#BookFaceFriday “The Storyteller” by Dave Grohl
There goes my hero, he’s #BookFaceFriday.
I mean honestly, does it get any better than Dave Grohl?! We are head over heels for all the amazing memoirs and nonfiction works out right now, we couldn’t help but highlight “The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music” by Dave Grohl (HarperCollins, 2021.) In fact, Nebraska OverDrive Libraries has over 3,700 titles in its Nonfiction: Biography & Autobiography section alone. This excellent memoir is available as both an eBook and an Audiobook, as an added bonus, the Audiobook is read by Dave Grohl himself.
“Grohl candidly shares his reverence for the enduring power of music. . . Reflecting on his fame, Grohl writes, “I have never taken a single moment of it for granted.” Paired with his sparkling wit, this humility is what makes Grohl’s soulful story a cut above typical rock memoirs. There isn’t a dull moment here”.
