Kate Recs Ready or Not by Cara Bastone

I didn’t want to stop listening to this audiobook. I loved everything about it, but especially the unique storyline and all of the characters!

I would recommend this book to fans of Emily Henry, Denise Williams and Talia Hibbert.

The book held up in front of a shelf of books. Cover shows a brightly colored illustration of a man with a bike walking next to a woman under blossoming treesALT

Publisher’s Summary:

Eve Hatch is pretty content with her life. Her apartment in Brooklyn is cozy, but close to her childhood best friend Willa, and far from her midwestern, religious upbringing where she always felt misunderstood.

While her position as an administrative assistant at the Wildlife Federation of America is a dream-adjacent job, she’s hoping her passion and hard work will help her land a more glamorous role where she could actually make a difference someday.

And sure, her most recent romantic history has consisted of not one but two disappointing men named Derek. At least she always knows what to expect…until she finds herself expecting after an uncharacteristic one-night-stand.

Suddenly, this surprise pregnancy cracks open all the relationships in her life. Eve’s ride-or-die friendship with Willa is suddenly feeling off. And surprisingly, it’s Willa’s steadfast older brother, Shep, who steps up to help. He has always been supportive, but now he’s checking in, ordering her surprise lunches, listening to all her woes, and… is suddenly irresistible?

Add in a kind but conflicted baby daddy–who also happens to have a girlfriend–and Eve is feeling out of her depth, to say the least. Over the course of nine months, as Eve struggles to figure out the next right step in her expanding reality, she begins to realize that love, in all forms, can sneak up on you when you least expect it.

A pack horse librarian delivering books in rural Kentucky in 1938. During the Great Depression, the Pack Horse Library Project was a Works Progress Administration (WPA) program in which the librarians, who were often called "book women" or "book ladies," delivered books to remote parts of Appalachia.

Librarians are amazing. They love reading so much, they will find a way to get books to people.

I’ve seen yards with “I ❤️ library” signs and I was wondering how do I get such a sign?

lakecountylibrary answered:

We gave those out as a National Library Week promo last year - and we are thrilled to report that they will return in 2024!

A white yard sign that reads We heart our library. The heart is redALT

These stylish indicators of good taste will be coming to every LCPL branch beginning the week of April 7 and we’ll give them away until we run out.

They’re free - all you have to do is visit a branch and ask. Mark your calendar!
