Conversation, fellowship, and refreshments will be centered on popular book titles for adults to discuss. Participants will share views on “A Court of Thorns and Roses” by Sarah J. Maas. Refreshments this month will be provided by the Johnston County Friends of the Library.
When nineteen-year-old hunter Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a frightening creature shows up to demand payback. Taken to a dangerous magical land she only knows from old stories, Feyre learns that her captor is not really a monster, but one of the deadly, never-aging faeries who once ruled her world. At least, he is not a monster all the time. As she gets used to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, change from cold dislike to a strong love that makes her question everything she thought she knew about the beautiful but dangerous world of the Fae. But something is wrong in the faerie lands. An old, evil force is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or Tamlin and his world will be lost forever.

Let’s Talk About It – Love County Library
Join Love County Library for our Let’s Talk About It book discussion with “Citizens Creek” by Lalita Tademy at 5:30 PM on Tuesday, March 31st. Dr. Vivian Thomlinson will serve as the evening’s scholar. Signing up is encouraged.
Cow Tom, born a slave in Alabama in 1810 and later sold to a Creek chief, became a skilled translator, serving both his Creek master and US generals. His language abilities brought him income and the hope of freedom, but his fate—and his family’s—remained uncertain after the Civil War and Indian Removal. His legacy endures in his granddaughter Rose, who leads her family through adversity, drawing strength from Cow Tom’s courage. “Citizens Creek” follows both their stories, exploring identity, family, and the lasting impact of one person’s will to shape history.
This program will be presented by scholar Dr. Vivian Thomlinson. Dr. Thomlinson earned her MA and PhD in English from Texas Woman’s University. Thomlinson taught English literature at Cameron University from 1986-1994 and again from 1998-2014. Thomlinson was awarded the National Carnegie Foundation for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching for Oklahoma in 2006 and Cameron University’s most prestigious teaching award, the Hackler Award, Cameron Professor of the Year. Thomlinson has traveled extensively in Europe and the Middle East and is currently restoring a Queen Ann Victorian home in Gainesville, TX.
