It wasn’t long before I’d written short poems between walking to Starbucks and returning home\, hence the title of my book\, Coffee Walk Poetry. Each poem breathed freedom into my soul. I hope readers will grab a coffee\, find a quiet space to enjoy the book\, and remember why this life is so precious. \nABOUT Dylan Lloyd:\nDylan Lloyd is an internationally recognized singer-songwriter and poet whose career has spanned music\, television\, and now\, literature. With music featured on hit shows like Love Is Blind and Temptation Island\, and performances across live TV and global stages\, Dylan has built a reputation for artistic depth and longevity. \nA member of the Moraine Valley Hall of Fame whose songs have been distributed by major labels such as Universal Music\nand Virgin Music\, Dylan continues to reach new audiences… amassing over 100\,000 TikTok followers\, being signed to a music publishing deal with Bella Figura Music\, and charting a Top 30 single on the iTunes U.S. Pop Charts. \nNow\, with Coffee Walk Poetry\, Dylan brings his lyrical gifts to the page.

SUMMARY:MatchMakers Book Club: One Golden Summer
DESCRIPTION:Like reading romance? Join the library for our summer pop-up book club featuring romance reads and craft time! Enjoy light discussion and crafts over your beverage of choice. Bring a project you’ve been working on\, mending\, or peruse idea books from the library and coloring pages. \nABOUT THE BOOK – One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune\nGood things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says\, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo\, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat\, the image that changed her life. \nNow Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer\, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines\, letting other people shine. Lately though\, she’s been itching for something more\, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip\, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place\, Barry’s Bay. But as soon as they settle in\, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat\, and the man driving it. \nCharlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he’s all grown up—a shameless flirt\, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice long to be seventeen again\, when life was simpler\, when taking pictures was just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are a balm for Alice’s soul\, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze directly on her\, she begins to worry for her heart. \nBecause Alice sees people—that’s why she is so good at what she does—but she’s never met someone who looks and sees her right back.
