Mysteries
Here are some suggestions to help you get started finding that perfect book for your Mystery assignment. Look the titles up online to get summaries to help you decide which one to choose. Or browse online on your own to find that perfect mystery novel!
But wait! How do we find these books while social distancing??? Sure you can purchase them through your favorite bookseller, but you can also try to borrow them for free from your local public library. Head to the Nassau Digital Doorway or Hoopla to download eBooks and Audiobooks for free from your local public library. Just follow the prompts to select your library from the list and then enter the barcode information from the back of your library card. Once you are in, you can search for these books and many, many more...all available for a free 2-week download to the personal device of your choice! (Just be sure to choose the correct file format - Kindle, epub, Ipad, etc.). Keep in mind that everyone is social distancing right now, so you might want to have a few choices because your first choice might not be available right away. If you do not have a Public Library card, CLICK HERE to register for a free Nassau County Digital Library Card.
