Friends of the Bartlesville Public Library is going through a spring book series called Books Sandwiched In. Vice President Connie Lavoie says the series happens towards the end of March, April and May every year.

In March, Debbie Payne talked about Stephen King's book “11-22-63.” Lavoie herself will discuss “The Great Alone” by Kristin Hannah this month.

"The Great Alone," as best described by Lavoie, is a dark family drama that takes place in Alaska. She says that Alaska occassionally acts as its own character in the book. 61-percent of those who rated the book on Amazon also gave the suspensful book a 5-star rating

Lavoie will review “The Great Alone” on Thursday, April 25th at noon. She says all Books Sandwiched In reviews take place at the noon hour.

Everyone is encouraged to bring lunch with them during the free book review events.

Lavoie says Mary O'Toole will review a book called “The Library Book” in May to end the Spring Series of Books Sandwiched In.

O'Toole said the 300-page book cover starts with histroy of a Los Angeles Public Library that suffered from a horrendous blaze in 1986. She said the flames destroyed half a million books.

Author Susan Orlean goes through the particular of the day the blaze occured before getting into the history of libraries overall. O'Toole said that history goes way back in time.

She said for a full review of "The Library Book," you will have to come to the Books Sandwiched-In event in May. In the meantime, O'Toole will continue to read and do research on the book that can be found on Amazon.

The book on Amazon has a four and a half out of five star rating.
