Author of The Testing
Wednesday, June 12 — 7 pm

The Testing is an actionpacked adventure that will keep you entertained this summer! It’s graduation day for sixteen-year-old Malencia Vale, and the entire Five Lakes Colony (the former Great Lakes) is celebrating. All Cia can think about — hope for — is whether she’ll be chosen for The Testing, a United Commonwealth program that selects the best and brightest new graduates to become possible leaders of the slowly revitalizing post-war civilization. When Cia is chosen, her father finally tells her about his own nightmarish half-memories of The Testing. Armed with his dire warnings (“Cia, trust no one”), she bravely heads off to Tosu City, far away from friends and family, perhaps forever. Danger, romance — and sheer terror — await.

Calogero's, 135 Washington, Woodstock

Samantha Hoffman is the guest speaker for this month's Women & Words. We'll meet at Calogero's at 7pm for this exciting event.

What better way to kick off summer reading by meeting a humorous, entertaining author who is sure to delight with her new novel, What More Could You Wish For.

Libby Carson has a great life - a thriving business, a family she adores, and a steady guy who's sweet and reliable. Life is good - nice and tidy. Until, that is, on her fiftieth birthday when her boyfriend does the unthinkable: He proposes.

Libby's been down the marriage road before and it just didn't work. While she's trying to persuade her guy to keep things status quo, she reconnects online with her high-school boyfriend and begins an email correspondence...just for fun.

But fun soon turns to flirtation and Libby is startled to feel some stirrings of the passion she felt at seventeen. How is that possible? She thought she had things all figured out. Now she must take stock of her life and everyone in it, to answer for herself the question everyone has been asking: What more could you wish for?
