A wonderful book which really resonated with me as someone who has sung in choirs my whole life. The research behind “why” singing is such a powerful tool is fascinating.

Spaceman of Bohemia is a fictional story about a lone astronaut (Jakub) from the Czech Republic sent into space to investigate a strange purple cloud that has formed above the earth.
Although this is a Sci Fi tale, there is also a lot of family and political back story which does takes the reader away from the main narrative, but provides context to Jakub’s choices.
An interesting and enjoyable read. The movie version is streaming on Netflix and is also quite good.

'The God of the Woods' by Liz Moore

Library Assistant
God of the Woods is a masterfully constructed thriller, a great one pick up whether you like a good mystery, good writing, or both. The story starts when the Van Laar’s daughter goes missing during a summer camp in an eerily similar fashion to how her brother, Bear, went missing 14 years before. It’s a slow, tense build, but the pay-off is huge.
