Once by Cameron Dokey
An intricate collection of fairy tales that leave you questioning how the ones you grew up with could be true. A wonderful writer who helps give a second childhood. ~ Autumn
Dropped Names by Frank Langella
This guy’s first book? Wow! Great insight to some very famous people told with insight and believability. ~ Steve
Hattie McDaniel: Black Ambition, White Hollywood by Jill Watts
This story should be a sequel to The Help. She was an Oscar winner from Gone with the Wind; suffered gravely as a Black female. ~ Marguerite
Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk
A vulgar, fast-paced, bizarre romp of a read. It’s a book of short stories linked together by a house of horrors created by its inhabitance. ~ Audrey
Until Thy Wrath Be Past by Asa Larsson
A fan of Scandinavian mystery writers. Larsson is another to add to my list of must reads. ~ Elizabeth
The Yard by Alex Grecian
Addictive historical mystery. It’s the story of the establishment of Scotland Yard in the wake of the unsolved Jack the Ripper murders. Great characters. ~ Carmen
How It All Began by Penelope Lively
When Charlotte, an elderly woman is mugged in London, it affects the lives of her daughter, neighbors and strangers in this bittersweet novel about aging and contemporary life. ~ Betty
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Fat Charley learns he is not normal. His long lost father returns and tell him he is a god. They must sop a civil war between the new and old gods. ~ Kevin
Tainted By Temptation by Katy Madison
Couldn’t put the book down…mesmerized by murder, mystery, love and deceit. ~ Lillis
Looking for Alaska by John Green
The hilarious and heartbreaking story of “Pudge”s first year at an Alabama boarding school. Puget falls for the indomitable Alaska, and the best YA book ever written unfolds. ~ Caitlyn
