I LOVE little libraries and in my travels I see more and more of them popping up.  For those who don't know...

What is a Little Library?
 A Little Library is a “take a book, return a book” FREE book exchange. They come in many shapes and sizes, but the most common version is a small wooden box of books. Anyone may take a book or bring a book to share. Little Library book exchanges have a unique, personal touch. There is an understanding that real people are sharing their favorite books with their community.

I recently notice this Little Library pop up next to the Thompsonville Fire Station.  As soon as I saw it, I knew that was where the next book I finished was going to end up.  So I just finished reading Made for Love by Alissa Nutting and I dropped it off at the Little Library at the Thompsonville Fire Station.  The original book cover and synopsis are posted below.  It was a super weird book, but funny and fun to read!  If you've read the book, I'd love to hear what you thought of it, please comment below.  And if you want to read the book, there's a free copy up for grabs in the Little Library!  There are few other good books in there too, quite a few kids books and a battered copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintence.

From the exciting and provocative writer of Tampa, a poignant, riotously funny story of how far some will go for love—and how far some will go to escape it. 
Hazel has just moved into a trailer park of senior citizens, with her father and Diane—his extremely lifelike sex doll—as her roommates. Life with Hazel’s father is strained at best, but her only alternative seems even bleaker. She’s just run out on her marriage to Byron Gogol, CEO and founder of Gogol Industries, a monolithic corporation hell-bent on making its products and technologies indispensable in daily life. For over a decade, Hazel put up with being veritably quarantined by Byron in the family compound, her every movement and vital sign tracked. But when he demands to wirelessly connect the two of them via brain chips in a first-ever human “mind-meld,” Hazel decides what was once merely irritating has become unbearable. The world she escapes into is a far cry from the dry and clinical bubble she’s been living in, a world populated with a whole host of deviant oddballs.

As Hazel tries to carve out a new life for herself in this uncharted territory, Byron is using the most sophisticated tools at his disposal to find her and bring her home. His threats become more and more sinister, and Hazel is forced to take drastic measures in order to find a home of her own and free herself from Byron’s virtual clutches once and for all. Perceptive and compulsively readable, Made for Love is at once an absurd, raunchy comedy and a dazzling, profound meditation marriage, monogamy, and family.
