Station Eleven
by Emily St John Mandel
View in Library Catalog
A dystopian novel that was quite interesting and a solid story. Not a super-exciting book and at times difficult to figure out who is who and where they fit into the timeline.
Death By Chocolate Raspberry Scone
by Sarah Graves
View in Library Catalog
Sarah's writing voice comes out in her character's personalities. This was my first book, and based on their actions, I was able to determine a lot about them. So many things going on - main focus being to solve a murder with her best friend EIllie.
Strange Weather in Tokyo
by Hiromi Kawakami
View in Library Catalog
Beginning was a bit slow but gradually became more interesting. It was such a sweet, innocent love between the former student & former teacher. Initially I wondered if the relationship was platonic or one sided. I was happy to see that it was mutual. The connection and camaraderie they felt was genuine. Bittersweet ending though.
Taiwan Travelogue
by Yang Shuang-Zi (Translated by Lin King)
View in Library Catalog
Not a quick read. It was a slower read where you savored each page. Fascinating that the author chose the genre of fiction even though it was a true story. Loved the way the author described the scenery in beautiful detail and described the food in Taiwan so detailed and enticing. I am a Foodie so I appreciated the many meals that were mentioned. The history and culture of Taiwan was told in a very interesting way. The friendship of the 2 women (main characters) was complex and fascinating.

She's Come Undone
by Wally Lamb
View in Library Catalog
Delores Price has an unusual life with multiple ups and downs. She is an unloved fatty who hurts herself, a mental case who realizes (after many years) that she can love and be loved. This is not my favorite book of Lamb but is worth reading.
Safe Harbor
by Luanne Rice
View in Library Catalog
A nice story, although a little sad. Not as well written as some other authors I've read, but a pleasant read overall.
Madness
by Antonia Hylton
View in Library Catalog
many books about institutionalization try to take a side on either institutionalization or deinstitutionalization - this book walks the line between both - emphasizing the major failures of both, because the reality is that both failed in catastrophic ways. finished this one on July 11th.
A dog named doug

Doug is a funny dog who can't stop digging. He digs there, he digs here, he digs everywhere. This picture book will make young readers chuckle!
The Coworker

I thought I had the book figured out until the final twist at the end. A great mystery!
