The Book of Two Ways
by Jodi Picoult
View in Library Catalog
book cover


If Jodi Picoult wrote it, I read it. Unfortunately, this was just a meh story. I did enjoy her descriptions of Egypt and the characters experience there, but the main story was a bit lacking and a tad unbelievable.
Deacon King Kong

So here is a perfect example of why I try really hard not to give up on a book once I start it. The beginning is filled with a description of so many odd named people and one line of their back story that I almost put this down for good. But I hung in there and was rewarded. It’s really a touching tale of life in a community in Brooklyn in 1969 and all the trouble and beauty that went with it. It was a time when everyone knew everyone and taking care of one another was everything. There are a couple of just very silly parts, but overall the writing is beautiful and inspired. Hang in there; it’s worth it!
The Boy from the Woods

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.
The Four Winds Kristin Hannah

I truly enjoyed this book and learned so much about the dust bowl. Very rich in history and details, loved the story of a strong mother supporting her family with whatever it takes, and the tumultuous mother/daughter relationship.
The Last Thing He Told Me

I read this book in one sitting, it kept me guessing at every turned page. The relationship between Bailey and Hannah is so on point of a sixteen year olds gurl and a step mother dealing with a mystery and learning to love each other in the process! 10/10 recommend
The Feather Thief
by Kirk Wallace Johnson

book cover


The author of this true-life story does an amazing job of integrating the development of the “Origin of the Species” theory with the history of feathers and their use in fashion and fishing. He does this through his investigation of a feather theft from a museum. He describes the history and passion surrounding fly ties for fishing and although I have no interest in this, I found the overall story fascinating. And it is interesting to see how a young man can get caught up in the intensity and passion felt by lure tiers which ultimately ruins his life.

Statt of Murder mystery series agatha christie style enjoyable and looking forward to more
At First Sight
by Stephen J. Cannell

book cover


While I really like Cannell’s books, I did not love this one. This is, however, a perfect example of a false narrator, and the ending is what make the story OK. A married man spies a beautiful woman, also married, across a pool and falls madly in love with her. How far will he go to win her over?
Hard Eight
by Janet Evanovich

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.
