The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Calico Joe are Off the Shelf

This article was submitted by Alyce Deveau, director of the Swampscott Public Library.

Just to give the readers an idea of what the NOBLE (North of Boston Library Exchange) readership is requesting, I thought that I would give a list of the top ten requested books for this week. As you read you can see that once again James Patterson has multiple titles in this list, a common occurrence at this point.

Suzanne Collins who has catapulted to fame with her Hunger Games series has multiple copies as well. The perennial favorites are back on the list: Grisham, Baldacci and Coben.  One book that is on the list, Defending Jacob, which I haven’t read yet but am dying to, has received many compliments, Most people that I know who have read it, have thoroughly enjoyed it. This is probably one not to be missed.

Catching fire. Collins, Suzanne

Fifty shades of Grey. James, E. L.

11th hour. Patterson, James, 1947

The hunger games. Collins, Suzanne.

Guilty wives. Patterson, James, 1947

Defending Jacob : a novel. Landay, William

I, Michael Bennett. Patterson, James

The innocent. Baldacci, David.

Calico Joe. Grisham, John

Stay close. Coben, Harlan

Not everyone wants to read what everyone else is reading, that is why a library is such a great place. We have a varied assortment of titles and topics, something for everyone if you will.

That is what is “off the shelf’ for this week.
