The Big Sleep
by Raymond Chandler
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is a good old fashioned detective story where women were “dames” and were “notin but trouble”. The language is fun and the central character is the grounding influence here as everyone else in the story is either crazy or a killer…..and one is both.

King Con

book cover


Some fascinating accounts of a con artist. I would have loved a little more psychological insight into how someone can pull off such an act like this person did. Accounts of his earlier life are painfully missing. But there are some details about the person's life that really are quite amazing that the author could have put all this research together.

The Needlecraft Book

book cover


As an accomplished crafter and fiber artist, this encyclopedic book covers all of my favorite crafts. Its oversized pages provide clear and detailed photographs with instructions on knitting, embroidery, needlepoint, quilting, crochet, applique and patchwork. Designed for both the beginner and advanced crafters, this book is a useful and beautiful addition to my crafting library.

The Kingmaker's Daughter
by Philippa Gregory

book cover


This book follows the 2 daughters of the man who was responsible for people seated on the throne of England in the 1400's. It follows the 2 girls through their lives and does a beautiful job of following their changing view of the position of Queen from their childhood until their death. It is a wonderful, albeit at times a grim, look at the life of powerful women during that time period.

blood Relatives

At its heart, this is a police procedural. But the characters are so well explored within this context and the circumstances so bizarre, that the story, though bloody and twisted, is very interesting. If you like cop drama, you will definitely enjoy this one.

The things we cannot say

Found it interesting the comparison between the great grandmother, who had a stroke, and the great grandson, who was artistic and nonverbal how they managed to communicate with each other with the use of an iPad, and how the great grandmothers story from her childhood in Poland during the World War II unfolds

That’s not my name

I loved this book—captivating, emotional, and beautifully written. The characters felt real, and the story kept me hooked. The ending left me heartbroken, though. We don’t always get the happy ending we want or deserve, and this book is a powerful reminder of that.

I loved this book! The science behind the neuroparacites and the black rocks was interesting and made sense. I also liked how the relationship between the characters developed and evolved. I just wish the MFC could focus a little more on the plot rather than THIRSTING OVER HER PROFESSOR!!!!
