Adult Book Recommendation
 
You can check out The Cock Down the Block on our Hoopla App—it's the first book in The Cocky Kingman’s series. 
I've really enjoyed the whole series myself! It’s a fun, laugh-out-loud journey following all the football jocks as they fall for their dream girls. Plus, the animal sidekicks add such a cute touch!
It's a contemporary rom-com with a bit of spice—perfect for a light, entertaining read.

Children's Book Recommendation
 
Watch out for the sneaky vampire jam sandwich! Legend has it, one day a vampire took a bite of a jam sandwich—and the story began. Now, this mischievous vampire is out and about, hunting for more jam. Could your sandwich be next?  
This fun and spooky picture book is sure to make you laugh, with a clever vampire at the heart of the story. Perfect for fans of Creepy Carrots and anyone who loves a good spooky giggle!
