Rituals Of The Season

I loved the book, excellent read!
Golden Girl

This book was a very fast read because it was so enticing and enjoyable. Who wouldn't want to have three "nudges" to help those we love after we die? Especially if we could help our children! Very well written ( although I could have done without all the in depth descriptions of food) with some big surprises. I highly recommend this book.
Leave The World Behind

Tedious book, though interesting premise. If I thought I was witnessing the end of the world I would have acted a lot more desperate and afraid than these boring characters. some insights into racial tensions/different life experiences, but overall a useless, forgettable book.

It took me three tries to finally get into the story of the book. It is interesting to learn about a little girl who was abandoned by her mother and siblings and how she managed to "raise her self" against all odds. Good story, Good Summer read!
The Friend Zone

This was a cute and mostly funny book, pure chick lit and a good read if you're sitting on the beach or by the pool. Kristen meets Josh and, after an initial clash, there's an obvious connection between the two. He's the best man in an upcoming wedding in which she is the maid of honor, which means they'll be spending a lot of time together. Once she learns of Josh's dreams for the future, she puts up roadblock after roadblock to ensure the relationship doesn't go beyond the superficial. She underestimates Josh, who winds up compassionate and understanding. Close to the end, the book takes a dramatic and sad turn that leave both Josh and Kristen evaluating what's really important in life, which leads to a happier conclusion.
Becoming
by Michelle Obama
View in Library Catalog



Regardless of politics, I've taken an interest in the story of every first lady to occupy the White House over the past few decades. Republican or Democrat, private or outspoken, they all have a unique story worth hearing. I'm glad Michelle Obama has released her autobiography. It didn't disappoint. Despite being an active first lady with an ambitious agenda, Obama was relatively reserved and private regarding her personal life. She really opens up in this new book. A lot of what she shared were anecdotes I found relatable, including the bumps along her road to motherhood. Much like Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, this book leads me to believe the Obamas may make an even greater impact now that they are out of the White House.
The Friends We Keep
by Jane Green

While Jane Green started off as one of the more popular British chick lit authors, her more recent books have focused on her adopted home of the greater Westport, Connecticut area. The Friends We Keep takes us back to England and tells us the story of college friends Maggie, Evvie and Topher, from their first days at university through their early 50s. The three take different paths after graduation, with Evvie and Topher heading back to the U.S. for careers in modeling and acting while Maggie stays in England for a career in public relations. Something happens that causes Evvie to distance herself from Maggie and Topher, a secret she keeps for years until the three reunite many years later, when the arrival of a young man forces the truth to come out. Drama ensues, forcing all three to evaluate what's truly important. The book's conclusion shows how forgiveness can help people regain peace in their lives.

(4.5 stars rounded up) Beautifully written and full of suspense. Kept me on my toes with every chapter, I couldn't put it down! The elite setting of Gossip Girl paired with the chilling atmosphere of Get Out made for a book that had my heart pounding well into the night.
Echo Mountain

This was an uplifting and mesmerizing story about a young girl's courage living in the woods with her family during the Great Depression. She shows true grit as she follows her own path, rather than one imposed by her mother; and in so doing teaches the whole family about connectedness...to each other, to nature, to those different from ourselves, and to one's own inner voice. I highly recommend this book to all, and especially to adolescent young women and their parents!
