So what are Amy’s Picks?

  • Books from either debut authors or authors that are new to our library collection
  • Various genres
  • Positive reviews that measured and judged both the quality of the writing and story and the entertainment factor for the readers
  • Written by authors who deserve to be discovered and given a fair first shake

What they are not:

  • Books Amy has read and now recommends. Although Amy does plan to read as many as she can…as long as they’re not cozy mysteries or romance.
  • Books by well-read/popular authors or authors whose previous works have already been purchased by the library.
  • Award winning books (if it’s award-winning books you want please look further down the page.)
