One Of Us Is Next
by Karen M. McManus

I don't think I enjoyed it as much as the first but it kept me reading with the twists and turns.

Book was very interesting to read. Enjoyed how you were able to see how the entire story developed from one end to the other and understood more about Edward's life

Tender Is The Flesh
by Agustina Bazterrica

View in Library Catalog



This book is grotesque, intriguing and certainly an excellent read. As every page goes by it leaves you hungry for more knowledge and what will happen next. Though it is a short read, it feels endless in a sense; It makes you wonder how the real world would function is this plot (Special humans for human consumption) came to fruition.

The Boys From Biloxi

A classic John Grisham story, full of great characters and interesting story lines. I loved it from start to finish. Up until the last sentence, I thought I knew how it would end. Highly recommend this book.

Save What's Left

Very light reading, sometimes amusing but I found it a little silly. I finished the whole book but lost interest in the story about halfway through. Not for me.

An interesting spy book. Intimate, lots of characters & countries. Very interesting and highly exciting, lots of killing - with a good ending and beginning.

Mother Of Death And Dawn
by Carissa Broadbent

View in Library Catalog



In the final book of this trilogy, the author got into the more complex emotions and actions of all the characters. However, just like the two preceding books, there was so much going on that I started to lose interest after the first half. The author had great twists and turns throughout the plot, but the writing was too drawn out for my liking.

The American Adventuress
by C. W. Gortner

View in Library Catalog



I have enjoyed C.W.'s novels since I first bought the Last Queen by him ages ago. You cannot go wrong with reading one of his novels. Not many people know that Winston Churchill's mother (or Winnie as I love calling him), was American. Just an FYI, Winston was made an honorary American citizen. Jennie sounded like one heck of a woman, and I realized that Winston got his character from her. I hope someone reads this book, and falls in love with C.W.'s writing as I did.

As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow
by Zoulfa Katouh

View in Library Catalog



This is a story of the most heartbreaking experiences one can imagine laced with hope for a better future. Salama is a pharmacy student living with her family when her country is torn in a revolution for freedom and her world turns upside down. She somehow finds herself assisting doctors and nurses for the wounded and every day must make the difficult choice of putting her safety behind helping others. Then, she meets Kenan, a boy who risks his life every day to document the revolution and spread news of it to the entire world. Both go back and forth between doing their best for the community and country versus trying to find safety for themselves and their family. Among all the death and destruction, the find friends and family, love and hope. I sobbed throughout the entire book. This story is real life for thousands of people and Zoulfa Katouh does not go easy on the reader as she reveals the ugly truths of a revolution. I hope this story opens the eyes of many readers of the conflicts Western media outlets choose not to cover.
