Hello friends,

Spring cleaning has been very good to us. No, we haven’t been doing any cleaning. But lots of other people have. And that has meant lots of new record collections for us! Some great stuff. Lots of classic rock. Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Kinks, The Doors and on and on. We’ll be bringing them by the store over the next few weeks as we sort and price them. So be on the lookout. Stop on by often!

What We're Reading

Our book recommendations this month come from several of our local middle-school students in Albright Middle School.

The administrators, teachers, parents and children have been very involved in the Book Review Project and have worked together to make this a fun project for all. There has been a good response from our young readers and we think that's great. We know that school will be over soon but we would like to encourage all the children to keep on reading because, as Dr. Seuss would say:

"The more that you read,
the more things you will know. 
The more that you learn, 
the more places you'll go." 

Below are our book recommendations for this month. These books are available for sale online and in the store.

  1. Hidden
    by Helen Frost

    The book Hidden, written by Helen Frost, is a VERY intense book. It is about a girl named Wren Abbott who “accidentally” gets kidnapped while she’s in the back of her very own mother’s car. During the book I was always on the edge of my seat wondering when I would stop sweating! I was most often asking myself, what would happen next? Does Wren escape? Will she make it out alive? If you head over to Cornerstone Books and buy Hidden, you’ll find out!

  3. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
    by JK Rowling

    This thick-with-action book will have you biting your fingernails until the very end. 

    I thoroughly enjoyed this thrilling tale, and I hope you will too! With the never-predictable plot, you never know what will happen until the very end.  After almost being killed on multiple accounts, Harry Potter is named, “The One who Lived.” Romance, apparition, and the previous owner of his potion book, the Half Blood Prince, fill his mind, and yet, the only thing he truly cares about is killing the one who is trying to kill him. . . Voldemort. With Dumbledore’s help, Harry strives to learn more about Voldemort's past to find a way to destroy him. In J.K. Rowling’s 6th instalment, battles are fought and won, dreams are lived and crushed, nightmares are deemed Harry Potter’s everyday life. I think a book like that deserves at least 5 stars, and after you read it, I think you will agree too.

  5. Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows
    by JK Rowling

    With over 600 pages, this book still seems to end all too quickly.

    I envy J.K. Rowling’s ability to write such fantastically spun tales, due to that fact I loved her 7th book in the Harry Potter series. It was like getting hit in the face with a bulger when you finally put it down. Running away is harder than it sounds, but it is even more difficult when you are running away from Death Eaters and constantly having a villain like Voldemort on your tail. Traveling from place to place, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger long for news of friends and family. In J. K. Rowling's last instalment of Harry Potter, death is welcomed and hearts are broken, but in the end, it all comes down to Harry and Voldemort. Will Voldemort be defeated once and for all? Or will he triumph, and the light that was known, be considered a myth? Every last page earns five stars. With detail after detail, page after page, chapter after chapter, J.K. Rowling does more than what her readers expected.
