Week 6 : Part 2

These reviews run the gamut from"Boogers Are My Beat" to "Love In the Time of Cholera". There is something for everyone.


On "Boogers Are My Beat" by Dave Barry-
If you need a laugh it's a good book to read.
On "Patty Jane's House of Curl" by Lorna Landvik-
I love these wonderful, quirky Minnesotans! Character-driven, a feel-good (although sad at times) book. Recommended.
On "A Woman's Eye" by Sara Paretsky-
Short stories by mystery writers.
On "The Other Wes Moore" by Wes Moore-
Interesting read but disliked the ending, it seemed to be all about the "good" Wes and his accomplishments because he was able to overcome the circumstances.
On "Love In the Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez-
For anyone who has been in love. For anyone who feels the time has passed for someone they loved long ago. A beautifully detailed story of dedication to the heart. Many plot twists in a long ago world brought vibrantly alive by Garcia Marquez.


We are coming to the end of our summer reading program. August 5th will be our last day. Stay tuned for the last of the reviews and the long-awaited drawings for more fabulous prizes including the mysterious Grand Prize.
