Ingenue is the second book in The Flappers series, which started last year with Vixen. (The series is anticipated to conclude in 2012 with Diva.)

Ingenue picks up a few months after Vixen left off, and it quickly thrusts the reader full force back into the lives of the four main characters.

This story is smart, intriguing, and action-packed. Secret mob dealings, romance, deception, betrayal and flappers abound. It's good, gossipy fun set in the decadence of the twenties.

The Friends of the Cleveland Park Library are sponsoring a new six-session Immigrants in America book discussion series beginning
September 15.

This is the third consecutive year
that the Friends have sponsored the discussion series, which will once again be facilitated by Professor Phil Burnham of George Mason University.

The days are getting shorter; we dream of the weather getting cooler; and everyone's thoughts are turning toward buying school supplies and finishing up that summer reading list. It's the end of summer, and we are throwing a party!

Storyteller Ray Owen will be here spinning tales, and there will be plenty of food and fun, as well as free books and other giveaways.

Come help us usher out the summer in style, Saturday, August 20, at 2:30 p.m.
