Be Dazzled
by Ryan La Sala
View in Library Catalog



I didn’t know that I needed a crafting, cosplay love story in my life until I picked this up. Ryan created just as vivid of a world as he did in Reverie.
The Secrets We Kept
by Lara Prescott
View in Library Catalog



I was pleasantly surprised by this debut historical fiction novel. The characters are the women relegated to office keyboards after their skills were used in collecting and disseminating sensitive information at the end of WWII... But many continue to hold secrets and the exploration of their relationships, secrets, and projects provided an engaging narrative in a classic noir.
Walk The Wire

I've binged on the Memory Man thriller series over the past couple of weeks. This is the latest, and it was as compelling and improbable as the first four. In Walk the Wire, Decker and his partner Jamieson are sent to a small fracking town in Montana to investigate the murder of a schoolteacher/hooker without being told why this case was of interest to the feds. From there, things just get crazy. As usual. I think I especially enjoy this series because I like the character of Amos Decker so much and enjoy seeing his growth from where he was in the first book (Memory Man) - working as a low-end private detective, obese, friendless, addicted to junk food, living-next-to-homeless, anti-social, rude, close to suicidal - to where he's gotten to over the course of these five books - still sometimes rude but living a healthier lifestyle, helping people, making friends, living in a condo with one of those friends, working with the FBI, and trying to be better at the social thing.

I was surprised about the information she shared such as not wanting Obama to be present until 2016, really not thinking he would be one and having to go through invitro to have a children. This book did not disappoint and could not stop reading.

This was a beautiful period love story that anyone can relate to; there is overcoming lost love, beginning new adventures and no one dies at the end.

Another 3-1/2 star read. In this one, Pine and her assistant Blum return to Pine's home town in Georgia, where her sister had been taken so long ago, to try and figure out who, why, and what happened to her sister. What she discovers shakes her to her core.
Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel
by Jeanette Wall

If you read The Glass Castle, you are going to love this. Wall's writing is impeccable and it was great to hear the background story of her parents growing up with their parents (Wall's grandparent). Page turner.
Tender Is The Bite

In this one, Chet (and Bernie) take on a case of missing persons (and a missing ferret) involving shady politicians, their unpleasant neighbor Mr. Parsons, the aforesaid ferret, a race horse in training, a nasty police detective, a miniature golf range, and a bomb in a cave. Pretty good, and, of course, Chet's take on things is just hilarious.
Later

This story was also good. The little boy was like the boy in six sense. I remember laughing about the kid getting sick in the first ten minute of the book. The boys special ability were used by the adults in his life. His mother to help her career. And he helps the cop with a case. And the way he found about his mother abuse by his uncle this book kind of upset me the end about the abuse the brother did to his sister.
