Celebrating the Season

The winter season sees festivals taking place in many cultures around the world, including here in Vietnam. That's why we have chosen Season of Celebration as our theme for December and January. As it gets colder outside and the nights draw in, there's no better place to be than on the sofa, getting cosy with a mystery. Intricate plots and brain-scratching riddles go so well with a blanket and a mug of something hot. And what better way to celebrate the holidays than with delicious home-made meals? Whether you want to try a new recipe or improve your baking skills, we've brought out our best cookbooks and books about food. 

Find all of this month’s recommendations on the Senior Library home page.

Genre of the Month: Mystery

From gothic (Greymist Fair) to cozy (A Song of Comfortable Chairs), from the classic whodunit (And Then There Were None) to suspenseful thrillers (The Da Vinci Code), and from amateur sleuth (Girl Forgotten) to dark academia (The Ivies, This is Why We Lie), there is a mystery genre to suit every personality. Do you need help choosing a book? Ask Ms. Rosevear for a recommendation.
