Staff Picks! If you like thrillers, Krista recommends THE GUEST LIST: A NOVEL by Lucy Foley The bride The plus one The best man The wedding planner The bridesmaid The body... On an island off the coast of Ireland, guests gather to celebrate two people joining their lives together as one. The groom: handsome and charming, a rising television star. The bride: smart and ambitious, a magazine publisher. It’s a wedding for a magazine, or for a celebrity: the designer dress, the remote location, the luxe party favors, the boutique whiskey. The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed. But perfection is for plans, and people are all too human. As the champagne is popped and the festivities begin, resentments and petty jealousies begin to mingle with the reminiscences and well wishes. The groomsmen begin the drinking game from their school days. The bridesmaid not-so-accidentally ruins her dress. The bride’s oldest (male) friend gives an uncomfortably caring toast. And then someone turns up dead. Who didn’t wish the happy couple well? And perhaps more important, why? #StaffPicks #Indigoemployee

Sure enough, as the page turns, readers will see Little Rabbit now has his pajamas on.

New Staff Pick! His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass By: Philip Pullman "This is a very intriguing beginner fantasy novel for young readers. The first of a trilogy, it does such a great job of introducing you to a world so similar to ours, but so different at the same time. We follow young Lyra, and her daemon (animal form of her soul) as they try to track down her best friend Roger, who she suspects has been taken by a group of child-snatchers called Gobblers. With a prophecy waiting to be fulfilled, she unknowingly sets off on a journey much bigger than she would have ever imagined." #Staffpick #Indigoemployee

New Staff Pick! Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige "This story takes place at the end of the original Wizard of Oz. Dorothy has returned to Oz. But for what purpose this time? The wicked witch is dead? Danielle Paige took this story and put a wicked twist on. This story revolves around a girl named Amy who gets sucked to Oz the same way Dorothy does. But it's far from being the same Oz Amy remembers from the movie. No one in Oz trusts either other, the animals are all for themselves, and everything is in a state of decay. What has Dorothy done? Definitely a book I would recommend to anyone who likes the original Wizard of Oz or anyone who enjoys fantasy." #Staffpick #Indigoemployee #Oz

Staff Picks! Another Pick brought to you by Krista! Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson... Mal, a book store owner and avid mystery fan once wrote a blog with a list of eight perfect murders from novels he had read. One day an FBI agent pays a visit to his store and enlists his help in the case of several unsolved murders... Murders that bare a striking resemblance to the ones on his list. Is Mal being set up? I would recommend this book to fans of John Marrs' The One as well as Shari Lapena's The Unexpected Guest.

New Staff Pick! Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban By: J.K. Rowling "As a die-hard Harry Potter fan, this particular book is the one that really hooked me in. Harry is getting older, and evolving with his magic; as such, the story evolves with it, and you begin to see a much darker side to this magical universe. Dementors, werewolves, and death eaters hiding in plain sight. Harry finally finds the truth behind who betrayed his parents. It definitely makes you eager for more the moment you finish it." #Staffpick #Indigoemployee

STAFF PICKS! Today's Staff Pick is brought to you by Our Manager, Krista! The Forgotten Home Child by Genevieve Graham... "I love Genevieve Graham's stories which shine a spotlight on some of Canada's known as well as lesser-known history. I love recommending them to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. Always from varying perspectives, she draws the reader into the narrative and makes you feel like you were there sharing those experiences with her characters. The Forgotten Home Child tells the story of Winny and her friends, a ragtag team of homeless children who live on the streets of Liverpool. They become some of the British Home Children who journeyed to Canada with the promise of better lives during the late 1800s and early 1900s. What they encounter are lives fraught with service and circumstances worse than those in Britain. Read about how Winny overcomes her obstacles and recounts her life to her granddaughter and great-grandson. This title pairs nicely with The Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline. #Staffpicks #Indigoemployee

New Staff Pick! Banana Fish By Akimi Yoshida "Set in New York in the 80s (and originally published in 1987 as well), this story is an absolute classic. It features shootouts, stakeouts, gangs, and much more of Vice City’s unseemly underbelly. Originally marketed as a shoujo manga, it is widely considered an exception to the rule and has been enjoyed by all manner of readers over the years. If you can get past the somewhat outdated character style, it’s a must-read. If not, well the anime’s pretty good too." #Staffpick #Indigoemployee

New Staff Pick! Ziggy, Stardust, and Me by James Brandon "This is not my usual kind of read, but this book blew my mind. In James Brandon's debut novel, we follow the story of 16 year old Jonathan Collins and fellow students, navigating their way through Missouri in 1973. This book opens up about lot of the issues they used to face in everyday life because of racism and homophobia, which are still very prominent today. James Brandon is quite the storyteller and I'm excited for more possible works in the future." #Staffpick #Indigoemployee #PRIDE #Pridemonth

New Staff Pick June is National Indigenous History Month in Canada. With that in mind, we recommend reading Red River Girl: "Red River Girl is a book all Canadians should read.

New Staff Pick! The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch By Joseph Delaney "A great story for readers 9-12, especially those interested in fantasy and spooky stories. It features all manner of dark creatures, creepy full-page illustrations, a boy apprentice and his surly master, and an unlikely friendship with a witch-in-training. The first in a series of thirteen books, great for new or hard-to-engage readers!" #Staffpick #Indigoemployee

New Staff Pick! Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton "As per most movies, I had no idea this was a book! I found it on my boyfriend's bookshelf one day, picked it up, and could not put it down. The first time I read the book, I read it in 2 days. As soon as I was done, I started all over again. The book and the movie are very similar in story but, like most books, this one just adds that extraness. Jurassic Park has always been one of my favourite movies. It will forever be a favourite book." #Staffpick #Indigoemployee #dinosaurs

New Staff Pick! The Eyes of the Dragon By Stephen King "A more fantasy-style King novel than most, while still being quite scary. It was originally written for his daughter and is technically a pre-cursor to the Dark Tower series, but completely readable as a standalone story. It’s got kings, dragons, dark wizards, betrayal, and intrigue. I probably don’t need to sell you on Stephen King!" #Staffpick #Indigoemployee
