As the coronavirus gained a solid footing last spring, Lacey Howell shared with you a reading list (page 46; April 2020 issue of Lake Martin Living magazine) that you’ve most certainly read your way through by now (Not!). As reading is No. 2 on the nerdbear.com list of hobbies picked up by people staying safer at home, we thought we’d add a little challenge to your sequestered reading list by introducing these titles from local authors.

Thanks to Library Director Amy Huff and her staff at the Adelia M. Russell Library in Alexander City for compiling this list for us. You’ll find many of these titles for loan at the library and many more e-books on loan at alexandercityal.gov/library or dadevillepubliclibrary.com.
