Seduction Theory
by Emily Adrian
View in Library Catalog
book cover


What a great book! And what really make it interesting is the way it is set up. It starts out as the beginning of an MFA grad student’s dissertation but then evolves into the book itself. And while it starts off as third person narrative, at some point it becomes first person, which just adds a whole new layer to the story. And to say that the story is about a man cheating on his wife and the wife maybe cheating on her husband (you’ll have to read in order to make sense of that) does not begin to do it justice.

Small Things Like These

book cover


This is a book that 1) Uses just the right number of words to say what it needs to, 2) Can tell a beautiful story set in the harshness of a poor community in Ireland, and 3) Can beautifully contrast the very best and very worst of human behavior. In short, this is an amazing book, and I will be reading more by this author.

Days before his college graduation, Alice calls Harry (step son) with shocking news. His father is dead and the police think it’s suicide. Devastated, Harry returns to his father’s home in Maine. There, he and Alice will help each other pick up of the pieces of their lives and uncover what happened to his father, however, the author provides so many twists and turns. Maybe you can predict some of them, maybe not........truly enjoyed the book and did something I don't often do: seek out the same author for multiple reads.
The Calamity Club
by Kathryn Stockett

book cover


I vary rarely write reviews, so it's uncharacteristic for me to attempt one now. But, away I go. I absolutely loved The Calamity Club. Ms. Stockett does an excellent job of transporting this reader smack dab into the lives of southern women during the Great Depression in Mississippi. These southern women--and one astutely bright young girl--must be resourceful during a time where their men, including fathers, have passed, or shirked their parental duties, or left them bereft of financial opportunities to be able to survive and thrive. It's a must read tale of resilience, survival, hope, and love. And the power of women to overcome odds stacked against them.

It's amazing to me how someone went from the top comedian to off the air a decade later. Overall, well written.
Whose Body in the Library
by Eva Gates

book cover


I enjoyed this Mystery. This is the first book I have read from this author. It takes place in the Outer Banks and surrounding regions and the library is in a lighthouse. A body is discovered on the steps of the library and has a direct relation with the newly employed Assistant Director who is the Main character in the story. This relation has been estranged from our main character Nichelle for 38 years since she was 16. I like the fast paced, to the point writing and I also wanted to know the answers which encouraged me to keep reading.
Circe
by Madeline Miller

book cover


I loved this book! The story touches on or at least mentions many of the gods and other recognizable figures from Greek mythology and really helped me understand how they connected. The story begins with Circe’s birth and life in the city with her family but then spends much time and attention on the island of Aeaea where she comes to terms with some old demons and charts the course for her future. If you like mythology, you will love this story.
