Episode 706: No Time to Die

10/07/21 • 17 min

This week we are sharing a special pop culture episode with you! We are looking at the movie No Time To Die - the latest James Bond movie. IMDB describes the plot: “James Bond has left active service. His peace is short-lived when Felix Leiter, an old friend from the CIA, turns up asking for help, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.” Daniel Craig is back in his fifth, and maybe final, turn at being James Bond. And our villain this time is the wonderful Rami Malek. (You may remember him from the tv series Mr. Robot, or the movie Bohemian Rhapsody.) We have more to discuss, so let’s settle in and get to the fun part: the book discussion! This week we are taking a quick look at some books about spies, to celebrate this new movie. Kick back with a beverage you will enjoy, and let’s share some books you might enjoy. We always enjoy hosting these book groups with you, and want you to have everything you need for the best experience! And of course, if you are in a library, you can add these books to your collection, or use our suggestions as a place to start in setting up a display for your community members! Do you want to talk about some materials or programming ideas? Check out our Discord channel, talk to us on Twitter or Facebook, or just send us an email! We are here to share ideas across libraries.
