This book makes gives me a different view on how people made it through the depression and life during WWII. How this one man was able to make his way in the world with very little and went to college and was on the Olympic team. It is a very good book I enjoyed it.

Winning Hearts

Enjoyed the second story more than the first. Loved Ellen's character and her relationship with the boys. Kept me hooked that I wished it was longer. The first story was kind of predictable and slightly boring. The theme of adult illiteracy isn't a usual theme in books so kudos to Macomber for bringing it up.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was filled with many twists and turns. I didn't know who was telling the truth at the end, but I believe the author did that on purpose based on the title of book.

A Wanted Man
by Lee Child

This is one of those books where it starts off looking like it is about one thing, but it is really about something else, and even that isn’t completely clear. The author leads you along the path of discovery where many of the characters are not who they appear to be. Reading this is like discovering new stories along the way. And, as always, child’s central character, Jack Reacher, is enigmatic. I enjoyed this book very much.

The Truth About The Devlins
by Lisa Scottoline

View in Library Catalog



This was such a good book! While the story was about a family of lawyers, the book is more about the family members and their dynamic. The family’s “good” son comes to the family’s less respected son to ask for help; he’s gotten himself into a serious situation and really needs his brother. But what plays out is more an act of betrayal and deception with the good son willing to risk everything for a price.

Romantic Comedy
by Curtis Sittenfeld

What a delightfully different book! A female writer for a late night skit comedy show, The Night Owls”, finds herself seriously attracted to a celebrity guest host. She’s been hurt before and can’t believe that this amazingly famous person would be seriously interested in her. But while she works that out, we get an exciting look into the world of comedy sketch writing, and that alone is worth reading the book for.
