Reading Revelry (Summer 2025)

By Amanda May   Posted in Engineering Library Gateway Carousel ELTC Resources and Services
Posted on

Howdy everyone!

Happy Summer! We hope everyone has a relaxing time away from school. Or, if you are taking a summer class, that it goes well! You can request any of the titles below by clicking on their hyperlinked titles. If you have any issues requesting, or if you have any book recommendations for future Reading Revelries, please contact Amanda May at asmay@umsystem.edu

Our picks for the Summer:

Beach Read [Book]

 

 Beach Read by Emily Henry 

A romance writer who no longer believes in love and a literary writer stuck in a rut engage in a summer-long challenge that may just upend everything they believe about happily ever afters. Augustus Everett is an acclaimed author of literary fiction. January Andrews writes bestselling romance. When she pens a happily ever after, he kills off his entire cast. They’re polar opposites. In fact, the only thing they have in common is that for the next three months, they’re living in neighboring beach houses, broke, and bogged down with writer’s block. Until, one hazy evening, one thing leads to another and they strike a deal designed to force them out of their creative ruts: Augustus will spend the summer writing something happy, and January will pen the next Great American Novel. She’ll take him on field trips worthy of any rom-com montage, and he’ll take her to interview surviving members of a backwoods death cult (obviously). Everyone will finish a book and no one will fall in love. But as the summer stretches on, January discovers a gaping plot hole in the story she’s been telling herself about her own life, and begins to wonder what other things she might have gotten wrong, including her ideas about the man next door.

 

Bandit: A Daughter's Memoir [Book]

 

Bandit: A Daughter’s Memoir by Molly Brodak

In the summer of 1994, when Molly Brodak was thirteen years old, her father robbed eleven banks, until the police finally caught up with him while he was sitting at a bar drinking beer, a bag of stolen money plainly visible in the backseat of his parked car. Dubbed the “Mario Brothers Bandit” by the FBI, he served seven years in prison and was released, only to rob another bank several years later and end up back behind bars.

In her powerful, provocative debut memoir, Bandit, Molly Brodak recounts her childhood and attempts to make sense of her complicated relationship with her father, a man she only half knew. At some angles he was a normal father: there was a job at the GM factory, a house with a yard, birthday treats for Molly and her sister. But there were darker glimmers, too—another wife he never mentioned to her mother, late-night rages directed at the TV, the red Corvette that suddenly appeared in the driveway, a gift for her sister. Growing up with this larger-than-life, mercurial man, Brodak’s strategy was to “get small” and stay out of the way. In Bandit, she unearths and reckons with her childhood memories and the fracturing impact her father had on their family—and in the process attempts to make peace with the parts of herself that she inherited from this bewildering, beguiling man.

The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.

Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.

Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him….

 

Song of Achilles, TheThe Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Achilles, “the best of all the Greeks,” son of the cruel sea goddess Thetis and the legendary king Peleus, is strong, swift, and beautiful, irresistible to all who meet him. Patroclus is an awkward young prince, exiled from his homeland after an act of shocking violence. Brought together by chance, they forge an inseparable bond, despite risking the gods’ wrath.

They are trained by the centaur Chiron in the arts of war and medicine, but when word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, all the heroes of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause, and torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows. Little do they know that the cruel Fates will test them both as never before and demand a terrible sacrifice.

Did you know about Mizzou’s Engineering Library?
When you think of libraries at the University of Missouri, Ellis Library might be the first one that comes to mind. But did you know that Mizzou has six other branches that cater to specific academic needs? Other Peer Navigators have written about the Journalism and Health Science Libraries, but another one of these hidden gems is the Engineering Library, located in Lafferre Hall.

If you’re not an Engineering major, you might not know this library exists, it has been a cornerstone of the College of Engineering’s research since 1905. The Engineering Library is more than just a quiet place to study—it’s a treasure trove of specialized resources.

In addition to an extensive Ebook collection, over 600 full-text International Atomic Energy Agency reports on nuclear engineering, and the Knovel Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Collection with 185 titles. It also houses historical documents, including uncatalogued reports from the Department of Energy and Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Society of Automotive Engineers Technical Papers on microfiche through 1989, making it a valuable resource for
research projects.

Even if you’re not an engineering student, the Engineering Library in Lafferre Hall can still be a great spot for quiet study. It’s a lesser-known space on campus, meaning it often has fewer distractions, making it perfect for focusing on your work in a calm, quiet environment. Whether you need a change of scenery or just a peaceful place to get things done, this library is worth checking out.

When Can You Visit?
The Engineering Library’s hours are designed to accommodate your busy schedule. It’s open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and Sunday from 1:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Just keep in mind that it’s closed on Saturdays, so plan accordingly if you’re gearing up for a weekend study session.

Whether you’re deep into your engineering studies or just curious about what this library has to offer, the Engineering Library is a resource you shouldn’t overlook. Next time you’re in Lafferre Hall, take a moment to explore the space and discover how it can support your academic journey.

Library Technical Services has created an exciting exhibit showcasing the history and inner workings of the IBM PC/AT (Model 5170). This machine from 1984 revolutionized the computer industry as a fast and powerful personal desktop.

The exhibit, located in the Engineering Library, includes a Model 5170 with numbered markers, and a blue information booklet detailing each of the parts. A special thank you to Dustin Hoffmann for all of his time and work putting the exhibit together.
