The Paris Model
by Alexandra Joel
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Grace leaves an unfulfilling marriage in Australia and travels to Paris where she becomes a model for the House of Dior. Supposedly based on a true story, Grace finds her true self far away from home. Some of the setting seemed implausible; otherwise it was a quick and educational read (learning about fashion in the post WWII era).

Remember

book cover


This is a great book for those of us who wonder if we're starting to show early signs of Alzheimer's. Unless you misplace your keys and later find them in the refrigerator there's not much to worry about, yet. You will learn tips and tricks to help you make and maintain memories in every day life.

The 5th Wave
by Rick Yancey

book cover


The 5th Wave was amazing. I couldn't stop reading the entire time. The characters are complex, the plot twists are totally unexpected, and the plot itself had a fast pace that gripped me. Even if you don't particularly like books about sci-fi/alien invasion/end of the world, The 5th Wave will change your mind. READ THIS BOOK!!!

Finders Keepers
by Stephen King

book cover


A little slower to start than Mr. Mercedes, but eventually Finders Keepers picks up and the suspense of finding out how the story unfolds does not disappoint. I enjoy how the book continues to weave back to the first story, then expands on the dark world King has create to keep us on edge.

Love Hate And Other Filters
by Samira Ahmed

This book was amazing, but I can't give it five starts because it was to romantic for me.

Every Vow You Break
by Peter Swanson

book cover


This was a great book of suspense! It has an interesting story line which kept me coming back for more - one of those books that I was excited to find out what was going to happen next. I loved that there were some unpredictable twists. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers or suspense novels.

The Sweetness Of Water
by Nathan Harris
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is a beautifully written lyrical novel about the devastation of Reconstruction and the racism entrenched in society beyond emancipation. The characters are complex and the story tragic but also filled with hope- hope beyond what is to what could be. The author paints a beautiful landscape that is highly visual.

The Extraordinary Life Of Sam Hell
by Robert Dugoni
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book was great! I loved the character of Sam Hill. Sam was born with a genetic abnormality, ocular albinism, which gives him red eyes! How he deals with that all the way through his life, with his loving parents, and best friends Ernie and Mickie! I really enjoyed this story.
