                   First Adult Summer Reader is Raven Posey!
 
Book Title: The Couple Next Door
Author: Shari Lapena

Review: It's every parent's nightmare when the Conti's realize their six month old baby has been taken out of her crib while they were at a dinner party next door. The suspense kept me going, trying to figure out what happened to the baby. Who took her, was she still alive? Then the ending was shocking! Great book! A real page-turner!

                                                             Alcatraz vs. The Evil Librarians Book Review

The Alcatraz vs. The Evil Librarians series is written by the famous author Brandon Sanderson who obviously had way too much fun writing the series. Written from a first person point of view he pretends to be a boy using the author Brandon Sanderson as a cover for his books. The tone of this series was much lighter than that of the  other books that I had read by this author, as well as being his first YA series that I had read.

The person who “writes” these books is a young boy raised in a series of foster homes who has a disastrous penchant for breaking things that keeps him moving through homes and people. He has never had any contact with his parents until one day he receives a bag of….sand?

But apparently important sand, for no sooner does it appear than so do a host of people who want it, Librarians who apparently like to spread false information that keeps the world under their secret control and a group of people who live in the hidden free kingdoms who still resist their rule.  

This series was wonderful comedic relief and I would highly recommend it for anyone who like to read for fun and needs something light and amusing. The writing style was easy enough for children and witty enough for any age.

                                                                 El Chapo Entrega y Traición

Este mes leí el libro El Chapo Entrega y Traición escrito por
José Revele. Para la gente que no sabe quien és el chapo , el es
un narcotraficante y criminal mexicano, líder del cártel de Sinaloa.
En 1993 fue detenido en Guatemala y extraditado a México ocho
años después escapó de la prisión de máxima seguridad de
Puente Grande, Jalisco. Desde su fuga en enero de 2001 se
convirtió en el segundo hombre más buscado. Lo capturaron en
2014 y en Julio de 2015 se fugó nuevamente. El 8 de Enero de
2016 fue nuevamente capturado y está en la cárcel de Juárez
está hoy en dia.
En este libro José Reveles periodista y escritor revela
especulaciones de la captura del chapo. El especula que fue un
entrega pactada. Cuando el chapo estaba de fugitivo no puede ir
más de dos semanas sin ver a sus mellizas que tuvo con Emma
Coronel y que ella tiene un chip implantado y así pudieron
ubicarlo. También piensa que su mano derecha El Vicentillo se
volvió informante de la DEA. Cuando leí este libro me hizo pensar
en todas las series como el señor de los cielos, la reina del sur y
la señora de acero podrían tener algo de verdad.
