Happy Place
by Emily Henry
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I have come to really enjoy Henry’s books when I need a lighter read that still has some real substance. This was truly a good book about two people who love each other but can’t get out of their own way to be together. My only problem was that, as a non-linear novel, both the current events and past events both contained dialogue, which, since I did it as an audio book, I felt made it harder to keep track of the time frame than if only the current time has the dialogue.

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.

It's amazing to me how someone went from the top comedian to off the air a decade later. Overall, well written.

In the Time of Five Pumpkins
by Alexander McCall Smith

book cover


This is a most enjoyable book as are all of Smith’s Botswana takes. This book has a couple of interesting story lines, including 2 where things are quite different from what they seem to be initially and one that puts Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s life in jeopardy. There is also a very touching couple of scenes from the Orphan Farm.

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.
