Week 5: Assignment 3 Coming Soon and Why

I chose USA Today--hot picks for summer. 

I think Pikesville customers might enjoy Sisterland by Curtis Sittenfeld, and Revolutionary Summer by Joseph Ellis. They're already reserving them. 
Sisterland is a family saga involving twins--our customers love generational stories.  The paranormal aspect of the twins communication may discourage some, but I understand that it's downplayed.  They'll enjoy the character descriptions and relationships

Nonfiction is very popular with readers here, including our real history buffs. Destiny of the Republic (Millard), Team of Rivals (Goodwin), Killing Lincoln (O'Reilly), John Adams (McCullough)--still being reserved and enjoyed.  Revolutionary Summer seems to be a readable account of 1776; July 4 was just a few weeks ago.
