What we're reading

This month we (the reference staff) are reading historical fiction. We've set up a display by the reference desk and listed some of the books we've read, along with brief reviews.

For example, Randy read A Conspiracy of Paper by David Liss and describes it as "a thrilling mystery set in 18th century London, featuring Benjamin Weaver, a freelance debt collector and former boxer. He's hunting the murderer of his father and his investigation touches on all manner of things, including the beginnings of stock speculation. Exciting, lots of action, full of period details, with many fascinating tidbits about the early stock market." Come check out the display (and a book or two!)
