The Woman Who Stole My Life
by Marian Keyes
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Another excellent read by Marian Keyes! A rags (ish) to riches (ish) tale involving amystery illness and trails of raising a family ... the characters are so well developed that I miss (someof) them!

The Heart's Invisible Furies
by John Boyne
View in Library Catalog
book cover


The author is a fan of John Irving and it shows - a oftentimes delightful book filled with rich characters. The story does a lot to illuminate how the gay community suffered throughout the decades of 1940s and onward in Ireland. Many of the plot points and twists and turns were a bit predictable and rote, but otherwise a good solid emotionally-fulfilling read.

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

An achingly beautiful novel depicting the immigrant experience as seen through the hard work of low wage jobs and how we treat those in this country who live on the margins. Highly recommend.

The Dream Hotel
by Laila Lalami

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.

My favorite book of the year! I may be a *little* bias because I went to elementary school with the author and am a super proud friend. A page turner and complex relationships that leave you wanting more!!
