Becky Albertalli’s latest offering,
Kate in Waiting, is full of geeky theatre kids and explores the nightmare scenario we all dread: what happens when you and your best friend fall in love with the same boy?
Kate Garfield and Anderson Walker, best friends forever, have always crushed on the same guys. For Kate, sharing her crush with Andy is always half the fun together they can over analyze every conversation, every look, and squeal over it all. And what’s even better: most of these crushes happen at camp and never make it into the real world.
Kate’s love of theatre has always been unrequited. Despite dedicating her life to running lines, listening to cast albums on repeat, and auditioning every year with high hopes, she is always cast as part of the ensemble. She starts to lose hope, wondering if she’ll ever gain the spotlight of her dreams.

A Gambling Man by David Baldacci (Adult Fiction). The 1950s are on the horizon, and Archer is in dire need of a fresh start after a nearly fatal detour in Poca City. So Archer hops on a bus and begins the long journey out west to California, where rumor has it there is money to be made if you’re hard-working, lucky, criminal or all three. Along the way, Archer stops in Reno, where a stroke of fortune delivers him a wad of cash and an eye-popping blood-red 1939 Delahaye convertible; plus a companion for the final leg of the journey.
