James
by Percival Everett
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Everett dives into the very heart of Twain's Epochal odyssey, shifting the central view point from that of the unschooled , often credulous , but basically good-hearted Huck to the more enigmatic and heroic Jim, the Black slave with whom the boy escapes via raft on the Mississippi River.

I enjoyed some of the stories in this short story collection. I enjoyed hearing the author's explanations of how each story came to be.

The Woman In Suite 11
by Ruth Ware
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Great sequel to another great book, The Woman in Cabin 10 which I read when it first came out. I had to find a synopsis of the book to remember the plot. The Woman in Suite 11 picks up 10 years later. I'm a big fan of Ruth Ware. If you like mysteries/thrillers, you'll most likely love her books as well.

When We Flew Away: A Novel Of Anne Frank Before The Diary
by Alice Hoffman

book cover


If I had not recently read Anne Frank's diary and visited the exhibition I would not have read When We Flew Away. It is difficult reading a book that is part fiction based on fact when you know the ending unless the story is compelling. When We Flew Away was not that compelling.

I really enjoyed this book. It is a fantasy/mystery. I listened to the audiobook and also enjoyed the australian narrator. The parallel story lines of Mary and Liza and Lucy and Jess were interesting and enjoyable

I enjoyed this book that takes place in Paris just on the verge of the German occupation. Solange meets with a woman with an interesting life story and learns of the connection they share.

Murder By Cheesecake

book cover


Very much the Golden Girls we we all know and love. However, it was very difficult to get through this one. It would have made a good episode for the show but not a book.

The Last Devil to Die
by Richard Osman

book cover


This is the fourth book in The Thursday Murder Club Mystery series. The club consists of a group of friends who live in a retirement community and solve murder cases together. This book has a more somber tone than the first three books, which, despite being about murders, were quite funny. Besides dealing with murder, this book has a lot to say about Alzheimer’s and its effect on the individual, caregivers, and friends.

Informative, inspirational and interesting. The book gives advice on how to deal with toxic people in our lives. How to be proactive and not reactive.
