WHAT ARE WE READING?
Trena has been reading the murder mysteries by Diane Mott Davidson. She says they are "light, entertaining books, easy reads that are just plain fun." She also says says, "her books will make you laugh, are full of interesting characters and clever clues. She also throws in a great recipe or two as well." If you like Evanovich or Grafton then these might be just the thing to brighten your day.
Marie has read the new non-fiction book, "Let's Be Reasonable" by Joel Sartore. Marie says she was interested in this book because the author is from Nebraska. For many years he has been a photographer for National Geographic magazine. He has also been a contributor to CBS morning news since 2005. He has the marvelous ability of harmonizing words and images on a variety of subjects that we as humans can relate to in everyday life. His fresh insights and engaging warmth and wit accompanied by his beautiful photography offers readers a sensory experience that will intrigue from the first page.
Sharon just finished reading, "Gabby" about Rep. Gabby Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly. Here is what Sharon has to say. "This is a very motivational book that is truly inspiring. It is a testimony to the human spirit and the strength it takes to keep pushing through, especially when times are bad. It is a book about perserverance and the strength of one's love."
Anne read "Sara's Key" by Tatiana de Rosenay. This is what Anne has to say. "I read this book some time ago but I keep thinking about it. It is an historical novel based upon a seldom talked about piece of French history. It is a wonderfully touching yet heartbreaking account of the involvement of the French in the Holocaust. The story moves between the past 1942 to the present and intertwines between two characters. It's a good read for a chilly winter night." Next on the list to read is "The Drop" by Michael Connelly. She says, "Now who doesn't like Detective Harry Bosch?"
