Check it out! Next Chapter: Spring’s Newest Library Picks

Spring is shaping up to be an exciting time for readers at the Colusa County Free Library! March and April will bring a mix of new releases, popular authors and compelling young adult titles. There will be something for nearly every type of reader.

Arriving in March, readers who enjoy immersive historical fiction may want to watch for “The Red Winter” by Cameron Sullivan. Fans of thoughtful contemporary storytelling will likely enjoy “Lake Effect” by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, who is known for her sharp observations of family and relationships.

Young adult readers also have exciting titles on the way. “A Wild Radiance” by Maria Ingrande Mora promises a gripping story filled with emotion and adventure. “They Call Her Regret” by Channelle Desamours introduces a powerful and imaginative voice in YA fiction. Both titles are great options for teens looking for fast-paced stories and memorable characters.

For patrons who love familiar names on the bestseller lists, the library is also bringing in new titles from widely read authors. Thriller fans can look forward to “Want to Know a Secret?” by Freida McFadden, known for suspenseful page-turners that keep readers guessing. Danielle Steel readers will be happy to see “Felicia’s Favorite,” the latest novel from one of the most consistently popular authors in the library’s collection.

April’s releases are just as exciting. Among the adult titles expected next month is “Cherry Baby” by Rainbow Rowell, whose novels have earned devoted fans for their heartfelt characters. Also on the list is “Mad Mabel” by Sally Hepworth, an author known for twisty and entertaining domestic suspense. Fans of high-profile thrillers will want to keep an eye out for “Hope Rises” by David Baldacci and “Revenge Prey” by John Sanford.

Young adult readers will also see new options in April. “How to Be Normal” by Ange Crawford and “Everything Amplified” by Ziggy Hanaor both promise fresh voices and engaging coming-of-age stories.

As these titles arrive, please remember that new books must be cataloged and processed before they can circulate. That work can take a few weeks. The good news is that local patrons will have first access once they are ready. If one of these titles catches your attention, library staff are always happy to place a hold so you can be among the first to check it out. Happy reading!
