How To Age Disgracefully
by Clare Pooley
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A new senior citizens group is formed, but no one expects it to have the effect that it has on each person involved in the group and on the children in the day care that is housed in the same building. This book has many different characters with unusual backgrounds and personalities. The last ¼ of the book was very fast-paced, but the earlier part of the book was just OK.

There was a lot I liked in this book but some of the potty humor and elder abuse that was glossed over really upset me. The ending definitely made it worth reading though

Fiona Davis is my favorite author. I enjoy all her historical fiction novels especially this one because it involves the archaeological digs in Egypt which I find intriguing.

Where The Rivers Merge
by Mary Alice Monroe

book cover


A beautifully written historical novel by one of my favorite authors. Eliza Rivers, 88 years old, tells the story of her childhood growing up on Mayfield, her family's estate/farm to her grand-niece and granddaughter. She wants them both to understand how important it is to her to conserve the land and hopes they will join her in her fight. It is a very emotional story of family, young love, friendship, and betrayal.

I See You've Called In Dead
by John Kenney

book cover


I have to be in the right mood for literary fiction, but the audiobook narrator hit this one out of the park. He captured both the dry humor Kenney is known for as well as Bud's emotional growth so fantastically. The book flew by for me with no boring spots, which is a high compliment for literary fiction.

The Perfect Divorce

book cover


I wish I had read The Perfect Marriage in this series first. It didn’t spoil this otherwise standalone book, but I would have had some great background to add richness to the novel. I loved the cover of this book, and the creative way the sides of the book were made to look like they were smeared in blood. I was actually reading it at the oral surgeon’s office, so it made quite a stir. Anyway, this is Sarah’s second marriage. She has one daughter. She has an interesting backstory with her previous husband; he was accused of murder she defended him she lost, and he was eventually executed. She has now served her second husband of 10 years with divorce papers, as he was caught cheating on her. He would like forgiveness and to stay married. Not a chance! The story follows the complications around this divorce and the havoc it wreck's, in other people’s lives, including murder and kidnapping. and the reopening of her former husband’s case in light of new evidence. Enjoy the ride!
