Death By Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake
by Sarah Graves
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Sarah's books are filled with humor and mystery. Nothing creepy... but gets you thinking. And of course, the setting of these dilemmas are based in a wonderful bakery in Eastport, Maine.

The Dream Hotel
by Laila Lalami
View in Library Catalog
book cover


If you ever watched the movie, Minority Report, this book has a similar take on the surveillance state. However, Lalami's presentation feels more real and prescient and less futuristic. With the rise of AI intelligence and integrated computer systems, one can easily imagine the fate of our protagonist, as she is swept up and placed in a detention center based on an algorithm's output. The book is gripping and tense at times, but also does a good job of showing us how technology can worm its way into our lives in ways we may not have imagined.

In The Company Of Cheerful Ladies

Another delightful No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency story. I enjoy the quirkiness of McCall Smith's take on Botswana society. I have read at least 7 of these books!

Mixed review for this one…I enjoyed the aspect of getting to know the characters but overall a little disappointed in the end.

The Skull

book cover


This book is recommended for grade 1 - 4, ages 6-9. It is formatted as a chapter book. I thought it was dark for a children's book. I've read this author before and he often has an unusual twist in his stories. I felt like a 6 year would be a little scared after reading this book. I would recommend for older kids.

Sisters with emotional baggage grieve their other sister’s death. I enjoyed the writing style and the characters were interesting. Ending was satisfying!

The River Is Waiting
by Wally Lamb

book cover


Imagine, if you will, that your life completely changes because of an accident… You take responsibility for your alcohol and drug usage and just when you think you will be free, a pandemic happens. This was a powerful and moving book. (I shed some tears.)

Things In Jars

What a delightful, absolutely beautifully written book! This was a random find on the library shelf for me and when I started I was hesitant because of the otherworldly/ghostly aspect but I pressed on and it was worth it! Out of my normal genres and so good!
