Get inspired with #BookFaceFriday!
Let #BookFace be your muse and check out what’s being showcased on the Nebraska OverDrive Library home page, you’ll find titles like this week’s #BookFace, “The Lola Quartet” by Emily St. John Mandel (Vintage, 2015) which follows disgraced journalist Gavin Sasaki, as he goes back home to regroup after being fired for plagiarism and finds out he may have a daughter he never knew about. You can check out the ebook yourself through Nebraska OverDrive Libraries!
“Compelling. . . . Perhaps all novelists can be said to wrestle with morality; Mandel seems to wrestle with it at greater length and in greater depth than most. . . . First-rate fiction.”
— Dallas Morning News
This week’s #BookFace model is Ethan Nelson, the new Director of the Western Library System! Ethan is a native Nebraskan who grew up on a farm about forty miles south of Scottsbluff. He loves a good book with his favorite genre being fantasy, and is currently reading Michael Moorcock’s Elric saga. He now lives in Scottsbluff with his adorable cat Tails. If you get a chance send him a note and welcome him to Nebraska’s Regional Library systems!
