Usha K R recently visited KIS for the annual writers workshop. The library then acquired 2 of her novels, The Chosen and A Girl and a River. We got to tape Usha talking briefly about her authorship. Watch it below.

The Broken Window by Jeffrey Deaver

Watch an interview with author Jeffery Deaver about how he goes about when writing a book. Quite interesting! The Broken Window is actually the latest in a series of novels about the quadriplegic homicide detective Lincoln Rhyme and his partner Amelia Sachs. Maybe someone has watched the film with Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie that was made out of the first one, The Bone Collector. Unfortunately we don't have any of the earlier Lincoln Rhyme novels in the library, but this book works quite well for itself.

A lot of new books

After the book fair we have plenty of new books coming in to all 3 libraries. The library got to pick up books worth 15% of the total amount you bought at one of the companies stall. And there was quite a few books we think you will enjoy.

We also replaced some of the books we already had with fresh copies. We now have 6 fresh copies of Agatha Christie novels, and one new copy of the Lord of the Rings.

You can really hear that I am in a school, all though I tried to hide from the most public spaces this time. But at one point the bell rings. School it is.

Results of the poll about fiction organization

The poll about how to organize the fiction section is now closed, and I am happy that 47 of you took the time to answer.

The result was clear, you want the fiction section to be organized in one, hardcover and paperbacks mixed instead of the current organization with hardcover and paperbacks separated.

So - we'll get onto that task, read more!
