The Monk of Mokha
by Dave Eggers
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of biographies for the simple reason that not everything in a person’s life will be interesting,,,or so I thought until I read this book. Just about every minute of this book kept me engaged and wondering what would happen next. And to say that it is about an immigrant from Yemen who is working as a doorman and want to start a business importing coffee from Yemen doesn’t do it justice. It is the amazing story of a young man committed to improving the life of coffee farmers in his home country and of someone who will literally do anything to accomplish that. Excellent read!

Nine Stories
by J. D. Salinger
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is a most interesting compilation of short stories. Salinger brings his experience with life during war time into his narratives and combines a stark look at emotion and tenderness in a variety of different settings. He likes to look at life experience for the well-to-do, and just a warning, everyone smokes cigarettes here!
Interior Chinatown
by Charles Yu

While this book addressed an important issue, namely the treatment of Chinese Americans, I did not find it that enjoyable. It has some very funny parts, but the format of the book, being that of a screen play, was not to my liking.
The Cat Sitter's Pajamas
by Blaize Clement
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book had, at times, the feel of a cozy mystery but had some really bad violent characters as well, making for an interesting mix. In essence, you never know what’s around the next corner, or page in this case. Throw in the curiosity and eccentricity of cats, and you have an interesting story. The story begins with a couple away on vacation and the cat sitter walks in to find a murder. But some people turn out not be who they appear to be as the plot thickens.
The Boy from the Woods
by Harlan Coban

book cover


The beauty of this book is that although the story is engaging, the characters are so well developed, that I found them to be the best part of the book. While the book is titled The Boy from the Woods, it’s not really about him, but about how things unfold around him. It’s more about the terrible tying times of high school and adolescence and what happens when those who go unpunished for their crimes as a youth grow up to be an adult and view themselves above it all. This is a great book.

Read out of order of series, but still enjoyable
The Blue Tattoo The Life Of Olive Oatman
by Margot Mifflin
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book was very well written based on historical facts and accounts. I looked further into this particular story in history and found that this author conducted a lot of research and is said to be the most accurate story regarding Olive and the Oatmans lives and occurrences. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves history.

Very well written though sometimes uncomfortable to read . Almost a coming of age story of a young black woman , finding her ground , career and adult life - short and sweet with a bit sour mixed in .
Hard Eight
by Janet Evanovich
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I continue to be amazed by how effectively this author can combine an intense level of humor and violence, and maybe that is what draws me to her books. In this book, one of her earlier ones, Stephanie Plum and her on-again off-again boyfriend Joe Morelli are off-again. This means Stephanie is fee to enjoy her time with Ranger the mysterious man she sometimes partners with. And yes, there is the expected destruction of a car, and a stun gun that only works when you don’t want it too; all the things we look forward to in her books.
