This is a relaxed book club with the option to pick your own title based on a bi-monthly theme. The group will next gather on Thursday, March 21 at 10:00am. Our new director, Bronna, would appreciate it if you came with thoughts and ideas on the future of Mixed Bag book club as well as our Antemeridians book club. For March, you can choose any book with a bookstore or library setting. We do have several different options set aside at the upstairs desk for you to choose from. Otherwise feel free to pick whatever sounds good to you. There are so many awesome books out there that take place in a library or book store. Below are some of the titles we have squirreled away. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWZdgGaBOepkN7wSX_vMwW5E6AhJFblCKzekZmKRgNMQe0bdDwefjg_Fdv59jveR4DOSEzG7MIVUQYzeeTrjFdZmda5Ux3VXURJwgeJT-w6Y2qPgKbiYVY3BIe-IlGDmuZy9ChdKnqM6szNdMYpUOuXx_3FD6WJhMapVdrBGtbFQGrlZsY2g64YCoZ7LA/s1400/Mixed%20Bag.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="890" data-original-width="1400" height="356" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWZdgGaBOepkN7wSX_vMwW5E6AhJFblCKzekZmKRgNMQe0bdDwefjg_Fdv59jveR4DOSEzG7MIVUQYzeeTrjFdZmda5Ux3VXURJwgeJT-w6Y2qPgKbiYVY3BIe-IlGDmuZy9ChdKnqM6szNdMYpUOuXx_3FD6WJhMapVdrBGtbFQGrlZsY2g64YCoZ7LA/w563-h356/Mixed%20Bag.png" width="563" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evans/search/results?qu=mr.+penumbra%27s&qf=AUTHOR%09Author%09Sloan%2C+Robin%09Sloan%2C+Robin+%7C%7C+Sloan%2C+Robin%2C+1979-%09Sloan%2C+Robin%2C+1979-+%7C%7C+Sloan%2C+Robin%2C+1979-+Mr.+Penumbra%27s+24-hour+bookstore.%09Sloan%2C+Robin%2C+1979-+Mr.+Penumbra%27s+24-hour+bookstore.+%7C%7C+Sloan%2C+Robin%2C+1979-%2C+%09Sloan%2C+Robin%2C+1979-%2C+"><b><i>Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore</i></b></a> by Robin Sloan<br /></p><p><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evans/search/results?qu=the+last+bookshop+in+london&te="><b><i>The Last Bookshop in London</i></b></a> by Madeline Martin<br /></p><p><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evans/search/results?qu=the+bookshop+of+second+chances&qf=AUTHOR%09Author%09Fraser%2C+Jackie%09Fraser%2C+Jackie+%7C%7C+Fraser%2C+Jackie%2C+1972-%09Fraser%2C+Jackie%2C+1972-"><b><i>The Bookshop of Second Chances</i></b></a> by Jackie Fraser<br /></p><p><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evans/search/results?qu=the+little+paris+bookshop&qf=AUTHOR%09Author%09George%2C+Nina%09George%2C+Nina+%7C%7C+George%2C+Nina+Little+Paris+Bookshop.%09George%2C+Nina+Little+Paris+Bookshop.+%7C%7C+George%2C+Nina%2C+1973-%09George%2C+Nina%2C+1973-+%7C%7C+George%2C+Nina%2C+1973-%2C+%09George%2C+Nina%2C+1973-%2C+"><b><i>The Little Paris Bookshop</i></b></a> by Nina George<br /></p><p><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evans/search/results?qu=the+lost+and+found+bookshop&qf=AUTHOR%09Author%09Wiggs%2C+Susan%09Wiggs%2C+Susan+%7C%7C+Wiggs%2C+Susan+Beekeeper%27s+Ball.%09Wiggs%2C+Susan+Beekeeper%27s+Ball.+%7C%7C+Wiggs%2C+Susan%2C%09Wiggs%2C+Susan%2C+%7C%7C+Wiggs%2C+Susan.%09Wiggs%2C+Susan."><b><i>The Lost and Found Bookshop</i></b></a> by Susan Wiggs<br /></p><p><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evans/search/results?qu=the+body+in+the+library&qf=AUTHOR%09Author%09Christie%2C+Agatha%09Christie%2C+Agatha+%7C%7C+Christie%2C+Agatha%2C+1890-1976.%09Christie%2C+Agatha%2C+1890-1976.+%7C%7C+Christie%2C+Agatha%2C+1890-1976.%2C+%09Christie%2C+Agatha%2C+1890-1976.%2C+"><b><i>The Body in the Library</i></b></a> by Agatha Christie<br /></p><p><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evans/search/results?qu=running+the+books&qf=AUTHOR%09Author%09Steinberg%2C+Avi%09Steinberg%2C+Avi+%7C%7C+Steinberg%2C+Avi.%09Steinberg%2C+Avi."><b><i>Running the Books</i></b></a> by Avi Steinberg<br /></p><p><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evans/search/results?qu=the+lions+of+fifth+avenue&qf=AUTHOR%09Author%09Davis%2C+Fiona%09Davis%2C+Fiona+%7C%7C+Davis%2C+Fiona%2C+1966-%09Davis%2C+Fiona%2C+1966-+%7C%7C+Davis%2C+Fiona.%09Davis%2C+Fiona."><b><i>The Lions of Fifth Avenue</i></b></a> by Fiona Davis<br /></p><p><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evans/search/results?qu=the+last+chance+library&qf=AUTHOR%09Author%09Sampson%2C+Freya%09Sampson%2C+Freya+%7C%7C+Sampson%2C+Freya%2C%09Sampson%2C+Freya%2C+%7C%7C+Sampson%2C+Freya.%09Sampson%2C+Freya."><b><i>The Last Chance Library</i></b></a> by Freya Sampson<br /></p><p><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evans/search/results?qu=the+library+of+lost+and+found&qf=AUTHOR%09Author%09Patrick%2C+Phaedra%09Patrick%2C+Phaedra+%7C%7C+Patrick%2C+Phaedra.%09Patrick%2C+Phaedra."><b><i>The Library of Lost and Found</i></b></a> by Phaedra Patrick<br /></p>Eager Free Public Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11104919170859844017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517864425932794555.post-74045264937672112112024-02-19T10:00:00.001-06:002024-02-19T10:00:00.151-06:00Collection Spotlight: Adult Graphic Novels<p>Did you know that we have a collection of graphic novels for adults?

It's the perfect time to celebrate all the things you love about your library. (Although, we recommend doing that all year long.) Need some inspiration on how to celebrate? You could sign up for a library card, attend a library program, stop in to chat with library staff, use our <a href="https://www.als.lib.wi.us/EFPL/online-tools/">online resources</a>, come hang out with family or friends, use a study room or computer, and so much more! Another option is checking out a book that features libraries. There are some great options below.

What he won't explain are the mysterious scents stored in glass bottles that line the walls of their cabin, or the origin of the machine that creates them. As Emmeline grows, however, so too does her curiosity, until one day the unforeseen happens, and Emmeline is vaulted out into the real world - a place of love, betrayal, ambition, and revenge. To understand her past, Emmeline must unlock the clues to her identity, a quest that challenges the limits of her heart and imagination. </i></div><div><br /></div><div><b>If you end up enjoying <i>The Scent Keeper, </i>below are some of Erica Bauermeister's other books.

If you've heard of this classic, but haven't read it, here's a snippet about it: <i>Young, handsome, and privileged, Dorian Gray has his portrait painted by the talented Basil Hallward. When Sir Henry Wotton convinces Dorian of the need to indulge in one's own vanity and to take advantage of his good looks, the young man makes a wish that could become his downfall when he exchanges his soul for eternal youth. As Dorian lives out a selfishly decadent lifestyle, he remains the picture of a perfect gentleman to those around him, but his portrait displays the consequences of an ageing and sinful existence.</i></p><p>Since the book was first published in 1890, it has been released with dozens of different covers. As copies arrived at the library, it was really interesting to see some of the different cover art on the books. Pictured below are just a small fraction of cover designs out there for <i>The Picture of Dorian Gray.</i> We have copies of the book, graphic novel, audiobook, and Playaway available for you to check out at the desk. Give this classic fantasy and gothic horror mashup a whirl!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4dUXlGFDgxDGsh-WyGACUW29LmlmCQPfgKzojnkgW6laHRYt4XLUX7yHRNc3fbn9KMztuO5Z54g4vrFspHvEKw4Tp4tjV_0l5SUJHnqiq35mLzkm6ZMunn9j9VHAJpK88FMSAyfU2qOxsuEWoWgLa-yTnU3cbl7KvErRki1O2h5WvSKvSQw_L0a-V8fg/s1640/Dorian%20Gray.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="924" data-original-width="1640" height="332" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4dUXlGFDgxDGsh-WyGACUW29LmlmCQPfgKzojnkgW6laHRYt4XLUX7yHRNc3fbn9KMztuO5Z54g4vrFspHvEKw4Tp4tjV_0l5SUJHnqiq35mLzkm6ZMunn9j9VHAJpK88FMSAyfU2qOxsuEWoWgLa-yTnU3cbl7KvErRki1O2h5WvSKvSQw_L0a-V8fg/w588-h332/Dorian%20Gray.png" width="588" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Eager Free Public Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11104919170859844017noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517864425932794555.post-61419897253484952912023-12-04T10:00:00.001-06:002023-12-04T10:00:00.143-06:00The Holidays Can Be Murder!<p>Need something quick and fun to read during the month of December?

Board games are a perfect way to spend some time while you are spending more of it indoors. And, the library now has board games available for you to check out!</p><p>Thanks to a donation from the Friends of the Eager Free Public Library, we now have a circulating collection of board games. The first batch of games were added in May 2023, and we recently added a second batch. The games are available now and can also be found in our online catalog. They can be checked out for two weeks and can be renewed two times. Renewals will only occur if there are no holds on the game. Stop by the collection located near the grandfather clock upstairs to check out a game or place a hold in SHARE.</p><p>Board Games Available at the Eager Free Public Library:</p><p><a

This week's post features resources that can help you with that project. </p><p>Genealogy is the study of family, family history, and the tracing of the family's lineage. Typical information that is collected for each individual on a family tree include the date of birth, birth place, date of marriage, place of marriage, death date, and place of burial. More detailed records will also include information on immigration, naturalization, education, and military service. As you begin your research, it will be helpful to get organized before your dive in. You should figure out your personal preferences for taking notes, saving records, and scheduling research. We also recommend that you focus on one person at a time and start with what you already know. This often means starting with yourself and working backwards.</p><p>Here are some books that can help you with your work:</p><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evansint/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:2788836/one?qu=Genealogy+for+Dummies&lm=SRCH_LMT-EVANSVILLE&dt=list">Genealogy for Dummies</a> by Matthew Helm</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evansint/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:2589137/one?qu=The+Online+Genealogy+Handbook&lm=SRCH_LMT-EVANSVILLE&dt=list">The Online Genealogy Handbook</a> by Brad Schepp</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evansint/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:2874204/one?qu=The+Family+Tree+Guide+to+DNA+Testing+and+Genetic+Genealogy&lm=SRCH_LMT-EVANSVILLE&dt=list">The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy</a> by Blaine Bettinger</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evansint/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:2464211/one?qu=Genealogy+for+the+First+Time&lm=SRCH_LMT-EVANSVILLE&dt=list">Genealogy for the First Time </a>by Laura Best</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evansint/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:2919629/one?qu=Practical+Genealogy&lm=SRCH_LMT-EVANSVILLE&dt=list">Practical Genealogy</a> by Brian Sheffley</div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://ent.sharelibraries.info/client/en_US/evansint/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f0$002fSD_ILS:2883483/one?qu=National+Geographic+Kids+Guide+to+Genealogy&lm=SRCH_LMT-EVANSVILLE&dt=list">National Geographic Kids Guide to Genealogy</a> by T.J.

non-fiction, with little interest in exploring the other. Sometimes, however, a historical fiction
novel (or a movie) can pique interest in how true to history it actually
was. Or a non-fiction book is written so
engagingly that is reads like fiction.
We love finding books that complement each other and think these
pairings go very well together; if you read one, you’ll probably want to read
the other!</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson/Dear Martin by Nic Stone<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Chances are that you’ve heard of <i>Just Mercy</i>, even if
you haven’t read it or watched the movie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A powerful true story about a young black lawyer who fights to free a
man who was wrongly convicted of murder, it highlights the racial injustices in
our justice system.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i>Dear Martin</i>
shows the struggle of a young black teen from a fictional perspective who deals
with racism and false accusations and chooses to emulate and write letters to
Martin Luther King, Jr, as a way of dealing with the pressure.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Borders by Thomas King/How We Go Home: voices from
Indigenous North America<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">At first glance, <i>Borders</i> seems like a simple graphic
novel for young people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, that
simplicity holds a depth and profundity that resonates.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A young Blackfoot boy and his mother travel
from Canada into the U.S. to visit his sister, but when asked if they are
Canadian or American, the mother truthfully claims her Blackfoot nationality.
Neither country recognizes the sovereignty of the native nation and the two are
caught in a limbo of red tape.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i>How we Go Home</i> is a nonfiction collection of true
stories by indigenous people that highlight the injustice and atrocities they
have faced with resiliency, working to better the world and raise awareness.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: helvetica;">A Woman of No Importance/Code Name Verity/West with the
Night (female pilot)<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i>Code Name Verity</i> was a bestselling novel that highlighted
the changing roles that women were able to take during World War II. The story
of friendship between a female spy and female pilot is a nail-biter as the spy
tries to reveal as little as possible about her friend while being tortured by
the enemy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Two non-fiction pairings come to mind: <i>A Woman of No
Importance</i> by Sonia Purcell tells the story of Virginia Hall, a female spy
during WWII, who established a spy network throughout France and was
instrumental in changing the course of the war. <i>West with the Night</i> is
the autobiography of Beryl Markham, a female pilot who was the first to fly
solo across the Atlantic. </span><o:p></o:p></p>Eager Free Public Libraryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11104919170859844017noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517864425932794555.post-52613306870370733722023-10-23T09:00:00.005-05:002023-10-24T15:45:15.179-05:00Famous People Recommend<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjAvhdLZyvTqDAdnZ96oeAXhLbEFv5xPSGnn-_2jPJj8zC-uDdTPRXsTqqF_sIMeAVYRULD6E6fbQo1PZjfxAB3iiAjsjxaWTAbX6Lm2DxCVB3xE71zC3vfUslpCcNS_UwKNqw7ZPAuvbpJUy3X6IG0Ub8lK__hhqmIGBCd7qjKGLM6fPsxCmyYWcIfhGA" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjAvhdLZyvTqDAdnZ96oeAXhLbEFv5xPSGnn-_2jPJj8zC-uDdTPRXsTqqF_sIMeAVYRULD6E6fbQo1PZjfxAB3iiAjsjxaWTAbX6Lm2DxCVB3xE71zC3vfUslpCcNS_UwKNqw7ZPAuvbpJUy3X6IG0Ub8lK__hhqmIGBCd7qjKGLM6fPsxCmyYWcIfhGA=w269-h226" width="269" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Do you wonder what your favorite musicians and actors are

power that is undeniable, villains are at the heart of a good story. They make the story happen by challenging our
heroes/heroines and the worse they are, the more satisfying it is when they are
finally vanquished, tricked, or outplayed. Conversely, some villains are allowed enough
of a backstory that we are sympathetic to their plight or empathize with their
cause. Here are a few villains we’re still thinking about:</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Maven Calore from </span><i style="font-family: helvetica;">Red Queen</i><span style="font-family: helvetica;">: so devious you have to
admire his cunning. Complicated
character: he’s evil, but you understand his motivations, and he also has
moments of kindness.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Cardan Greenbriar from </span><i style="font-family: helvetica;">The Cruel Prince</i><span style="font-family: helvetica;">: smart,
charming, cruel, and with a deep dislike of humans, the youngest prince of the
Faerie King plays the fool a bit too
well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Puppeteer from </span><i style="font-family: helvetica;">Renegades</i><span style="font-family: helvetica;">: for truly creepy, the
Puppeteer is hard to beat. Unhinged,
preys on children, and turns people into puppets he can control.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYJOgI86ETjc-F4qI6EadgXSTIAD8vvZyJIzeMoyLz8XOidvCIcKmFMIggFvsvgz-QYtdEdDiB-ogUCqXV_AEusBPXit-pq8bnhZCXMicrRFHyKI3ATNLypcNcLc_CX7GDaE_lSnA2_iA8pCnEf0M85EUH4_p4yasixGWY4AGLZR6TMpVwzsQwtvHWOHA/s1200/joker.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" height="143" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYJOgI86ETjc-F4qI6EadgXSTIAD8vvZyJIzeMoyLz8XOidvCIcKmFMIggFvsvgz-QYtdEdDiB-ogUCqXV_AEusBPXit-pq8bnhZCXMicrRFHyKI3ATNLypcNcLc_CX7GDaE_lSnA2_iA8pCnEf0M85EUH4_p4yasixGWY4AGLZR6TMpVwzsQwtvHWOHA/w255-h143/joker.webp" width="255" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The <i>Joker</i> from Batman series: while hard to separate the literary Joker
from the screen versions, he has scars that make him appear to always be smiling,
enhanced by grotesque clown make-up. His
backstory is sympathetic: a struggling comedian, he commits a crime to get food
for his pregnant wife and ends up in a vat of chemicals that disfigure
him. Playing on cliched stereotypes of
mental illness, the Joker’s desire for chaos can be appealing to those bogged
down by rules who are curious to see in a fantasy world what a little anarchy
might do.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Dolores Umbridge from </span><i style="font-family: helvetica;">Harry Potter</i><span style="font-family: helvetica;">: an obvious
choice, but one that sticks in memory perhaps even more than Voldemort… Mean-spirited, power-hungry, controlling, and
generally unpleasant, she masks herself in an air of superiority and false
concern.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Agatha Trunchbull from </span><i style="font-family: helvetica;">Matilda</i><span style="font-family: helvetica;">: domineering, abusive
headmistress of an elementary school who tortures the children for minor
infractions like wearing pigtails.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFfwpTLnAPg9m-7h9SM0WN7DTwK2QPTeb-yXsKeEsfU6SGa0OZEOID0JAvejf4c-bFEeeFWKR_1_pePUCtM10Cv_wKjSUGFnjRa8Z56HLNwk-JsUPRpZokDcnxhRa9QQKL2hFZUjYcDFML-G51fIndAUv4PNoJ7gkp7Tqp-jE1774mXW0c5TFwdSuMgiw/s1200/gollum.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="628" data-original-width="1200" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFfwpTLnAPg9m-7h9SM0WN7DTwK2QPTeb-yXsKeEsfU6SGa0OZEOID0JAvejf4c-bFEeeFWKR_1_pePUCtM10Cv_wKjSUGFnjRa8Z56HLNwk-JsUPRpZokDcnxhRa9QQKL2hFZUjYcDFML-G51fIndAUv4PNoJ7gkp7Tqp-jE1774mXW0c5TFwdSuMgiw/w253-h132/gollum.jpg" width="253" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Gollum from Lord of the Rings: a slimy, hunched creature who
has gone insane in his obsessive search for the ring. While he has little power himself, he stands
as a cautionary figure of what one can become when one abandons morals in a
quest for power.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">We know you’re thinking of a villain we should
have added to this list, who is it?

<p class="MsoNormal">Do you know any books that have such unusual character
descriptions, they beg for a good cosplay? Sure, Alice in Wonderland and Lord
of the Rings come to mind immediately for quirky characters, but how about some
less well known titles?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Laini Taylor’s fantasy books come to mind for us. We’re
always tempted to dress up as one of these to see how many fellow bookworms
will recognize the character.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here are a few memorable ones:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(<i>Daughter of Smoke & Bone</i>)<o:p></o:p></p>

haired female Czech art student, a necklace of teeth that can become wishes, hamsa
(eye) symbols on palms, “true” and “story” tattooed on each wrist and the
ability to travel through doors to far away places.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(<i>Strange the Dreamer</i>)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Sarai</b> : godspawn with cinnamon colored hair, blue
skin and a swarm of moths that give her the ability to inhabit people’s dreams
and bring them nightmares.<o:p></o:p></p>

quirky superheroes and villains in <i>Renegades,</i> but Queen Bee is sure to
start a buzz…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">(<i>Seraphina</i> by Rachel Hartman)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If you prefer a picture book, these also seem like they’d be
fun:<o:p></o:p></p>
