Week 5: Part 2

I hope everyone survived the storms! Here are some great reads for the next time you are stuck inside the house.

On "The Body in the Transept" by Jeanne Dams-
Wonderful cozy series! Dorothy Martin is an appealing "older" sleuth with the brains of Jessica Fletcher and a love of hats that rivals Hyacinth Buckets'.
On "Lift" by Kelly Corrigan-
A memoir based upon family. Makes you laugh and cry. The reader reflects upon questions about parenthood. Great reading!! :)
On "Every Last One" by Anna Quindlen-
Quindlen always deals with difficult subjects with great sensitivity. This book is no different- full of emotional moments and insight.
On "Private Life" by Jane Smiley-
Another "Pulitzer"!
On "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro-
Soon to be a movie. This novel is a melancholic "memoir" of a young lady living in modern day United Kingdom that comes from an alternate history.

On "Miracle On the 17th Green" by James Patterson and Peter DeJong-
It was very good with a twist near the end. It was keeping me wanting to read.

That's all for now. See you again in the next day or two with still more good reads (and even some maybe not so good).
