The Red Sacrament by Sara Hinkley ~ a Review

by MK French

In 1869 Paris, only a select few ever received invitations to the Théâtre Saint-Siméon. Actors on stage are mesmerizing, and never seen in daylight; Arnault and his vampires are very careful to feed as little as possible on the audience and survive in the city by being unseen. The peace is upset by the arrival of Béatrice,  a witch who forms a connection with Arnault, then vampire siblings Victor and Françoise de Rouvray. Vampires bicker, the theater needs are time-consuming, and there are premonitions of blood, death, and starvation. Change is coming for everyone.

Bunk Beds & Bookish Vibes: The Ultimate Summer Camp Reading List

by Donna Huber

When I was a child, my favorite summer activity was summer camp. It was a week away from home where we sang songs, learned new skills, made crafts, and just got to be carefree kids. A few years ago, I found an adult summer camp in the Smoky Mountains, and it recreated all the great things about the summer camp of my youth. It seems to be an idea that is catching on, as I've seen advertisements for Pages & Pines, a summer camp for book nerds. I've heard of a few others. 

Are you nostalgic for your summer camp days, or wished you had gone to camp as a kid? Relive, or experience for the first time, the carefree days of summer camp with this list of books.
