Read a fun library book this weekend! We suggest "The State You're In : Florida Men, Florida Women, and Other Wildlife" by investigative journalist and New York Times bestselling author Craig Pittman. He introduces readers to a who's who of Florida crime fiction, a what's what of exotic animals, and an array of beloved places he's seen change rapidly in his lifetime. Many of these stories are funny, some are serious, and several offer rare insights into the heart of the Sunshine State.
