Good Getaways

Your mission (and you should accept it) is to read this series

Ahhh, late summer in Alabama. Hot, steamy air you can wear. So get those chores done in the morning and spend the rest of the day relaxing with a good book – or 15 books.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it (you really should), is to read Clive Cussler’s entire Oregon Files series, starting with They say a ship is only as “Golden Buddha.” good as her crew,” Juan Juan Cabrillo said. “I couldn’t agree is chairman of the more. I’m proud to say Corporation, a special government-sponsored that the Oregon has been, group that operates out of is, and always will be the a ship called the Oregon; finest ship afloat.” a marvel of scientific research equipment bristling with state-of-theart weaponry - but disguised as a heap of junk.

These books are perfect for adventure junkies of all ages (great for summer school – they’ll never know they’re learning world geography, science, and history). Whether it’s hunting for treasure, foiling the plots of terrorists, subverting the release of poison gas on untold millions or rescuing hostages – the crew of the Oregon is ready and supremely able to carry out the mission with daring, courage and a positive attitude.

You’ll come away feeling proud of the truly good and patriotic folks that make up our country. Read the series in order – or not – but it’s fun to follow the characters and exploits book by book. And #16 comes out in September! – Deb Laslie

Rowell’s ‘Attachments’ is the perfect ‘chick-list’ book

Rainbow Rowell has written the perfect chick-list book – “Attachments.” It’s a tale of two people who long for each other, but don’t know who their “other” is.

Lincoln is the IT guy (information technology) for a newspaper. Beth is in the movie/book/lifestyle editorial area. She and Love. Purpose. Those Jennifer, her best friend are the things that you and a copy editor at can’t plan for. Those the paper, know that are the things that just their personal emails are being monitored by happen. And what if newspaper security but they don’t happen? don’t take it seriously. Do you spend your whole They are fun, flirty and life pining for them? have a way with the Waiting to be happy?written word that gives us great insight into their quirky personalities and innermost thoughts.

Lincoln initially sends them a warning about the “personal nature” of their back and forth banter, but then cannot stop himself from continuing to monitor their conversations. He begins to care about them as individuals and realizes his own limitations with his life, job, friends and, ultimately, his love life. He is smitten. “Is it possible to fall in love with someone you’ve never met or seen?”

You know how it ends, but the ride is a breath of fresh cool air in these times of heaviness. Chill out with Rainbow Rowell and Attachments.”
