Summer reading: Reviews from readers at our Southwest branch

Feed by Mira Grant
Loved it!!! Couldn’t put it down. The zombies are here to stay. Bloggers saved the day and are here to stay also. A sci-fi with drama and action. ~ Trudy

The Half-stitched Amish Quilting Club by Wanda E. Brunstetter
This book really brings together an odd assortment of characters. You are reminded not to judge a book by its cover. It made me laugh and cry. ~ Darcie

Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
There is a story here if you can get by the really juvenile writing. I just couldn’t love this book but was willing to see if it could get better. ~ Sarah

War Beneath the Waves: A True Story of Courage and Leadership Aboard a World War II Submarine by Don Keith
This is the story of the Billfish submarine in combat with an incompetent captain who almost killed the crew. A young lieutenant took over and led the crew to safety. ~ Marty

The Girl in Blue by P.G. Wodehouse
Love Jeeves and Wooster? The author brings the same sense of humor to a new set of characters. Find out who gets the girl in blue. ~ Wendy
