Calling all Elvis Fans!

If Elvis were a librarian, would he be mistaken for wanting a little less conversation, a little more action? Or would he be all shook up about the changes that libraries have made in the last few decades... 

As it happens, on Thursday 29 May Elvis will be in the Mill Park Library building and he won’t be shushed, in a night of entertainment by Mike Cole aka Always Elvis. 

If you find you’re lonesome that night, dust off your blue suede shoes or come donning your best fake tan and fitted jumpsuit if that’s more your Elvis era. All walks of life (and registered hound dogs) welcome!

While you’ll find Elvis at the library shakin’ not shelving, here are his recommendations you won’t help falling in love with:

Now or Never: Thirty-one on the run 
Janet Evanovich 

In the latest Stephanie Plum series, our protagonist is asked for her hand in marriage by Morelli and Ranger. Her heart is captured, and her soul surrenders to each proposal. She must now make the decision of a lifetime, but with her job as a bounty hunter, tomorrow might be too late.  

Suspicious Minds 
David Mark 

Caught in a trap of love and suspicion, Liz escapes one toxic relationship only to find herself drawn to a brooding farmer with a dark past. An old friend she knows? As trust issues resurface in David Mark’s gripping psychological thriller, it’s apparent that they can’t build their dreams on suspicious minds.

Good lookin' cookin' : a year of meals : a lifetime of family, friends, and food 
Dolly Parton and Rachel Parton George 

Are you hungry tonight? Is your tum filled with pain? While having never met Dolly Parton,  and being rejected from the rights to record his own version of “I Will Always Love You”, I think Elvis would be won over by the American classic recipes filled in this book, including Family Favorite Meatloaf and Pan-Fried Catfish, purportedly one of his favourites. 

Can’t Help Falling in Love: A novel 
Sophie Sullivan 
 
Wise men say, only fools rush in to fake engagements. Before the misunderstanding, Lexi Danby was looking for no strings attached, fall fun while trying to make ends meet and look after her newly grieving mother. The charming stranger Will turns out to be a member of Seattle royalty. Would it be a sin not to stay? While keeping up pretenses, the couple slowly realise, some things are meant to be.
