Excavations

This book is either here nor there, but it does wrap itself up nicely. If you are about female empowerment, than this is the book for you.
My Murder
by Katie Williams
View in Library Catalog



Tis book was confusing and had way too many ideas rolled up into one novel. There was great potential with the premise, but the storyline was jagged and went all over the place making it hard to follow. While there is one big twist, the ending did not land on its feet very well.
Murder Your Employer

I borrowed this audiobook based on the humorous title and the fact that Neil Patrick Harris narrates half of it without any knowledge of the plot. It started a bit slow, but it hooked me soon enough. There are 3 main characters going to a secret university to learn how to murder their various bosses for various reasons, and the book is somehow both very funny and morally poignant. Both NPH and Simon Vance, the other narrator, do a fantastic job (audiobook readers really make or break a book experience) and it was a really entertaining read!
Honey, Baby, Mine

So many reasons to love this book: the words expressed by mother and daughter, the photos, the reasons to walk and record all the memories that had never been explained or explored. Of course any mother, daughter or grandmother will relate to these candid conversations, but any person would too. And of course you will read and think of all the questions or answers either yet to be asked and said to the people you loved, or sadly, if they have passed, no words at all. This read went all too fast. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
Lord of the Flies

Although I remember that I read this book when I was much younger, I didn’t really remember any of it and was hoping to get more out of it this time. This was not the case. The book contains way too much continued description of the foliage on the island. I did not feel that the characters behaviors were explored or developed enough to warrant its status of required reading in school. Also, I find it hard to believe that out of all the older boys on the island, not one of them volunteered to take care of the little ones; none of those boys has any younger siblings at home or felt any sympathy for the children that had never been away from their parents before? I think there are more current books that examine societal structure that would be a better choice.
Red At The Bone

I have mixed feelings about this book. The book has 6 central characters and each of the characters shares their perspective, feeling, and observations as the tale unfolds. While the writing is good and the characters interesting, the story jumps around a lot both in time and in who is speaking. I found it difficult to know who was speaking during each section and what the time frame was. Maybe this is one of those books you have to read a second time to get the most out of it.

Lessons In Chemistry

I could not put this book down!!! Our strong heroine, Chemist Elizabeth Zott tackles so many tough 1960's issues ( gender, race, religion} in a crazy, admirable way. She's not arrogant... just self-confident, and she expresses herself in a tongue in cheek way - which leads to humor and wit. This book also struck a chord with me since I'm a retired microbiologist who hates cooking, but I found that 0.2 + 0.2= 0.4 can be applied when using any recipe!! And that's what she does... gives you confidence ... Elizabeth teaches us, as she does her audience... lessons in life... "who we're capable of becoming" . I found myself rereading passages over and over because I wanted to absorb every word. It's filled with love, hardship and smiles ... hers, her dog, her friends, and family .... I sooo enjoyed this book and highly recommend it!!!
Confessions on the 7:45

Selena and Martha are just strangers on a train. They start talking and share secrets about the men in their lives, but these are not the only secrets they share. It took me a while to get into the story but once it grabbed me, it didn't let go.
The Only One Left

Home health aid Kit is hired to take care of Lenora after the previous aid disappeared from the house with no warning. Lenora was accused of killing her parents and sister years ago but never was convicted. Kit was also accused of killing a patient who just happened to be her mother. I totally enjoyed this twisty novel.
