Here are some of the books that we just can't stop talking about!
A remarkable story - based on fact. Brooks shares the story of Lexington, the record-breaking racehorse and his owners, groomers, trainers, and offspring. Bone scientists, Equestrian artists, and historians mix up power, wealth, poverty, and love. These authentic voices address the unjust issues of slavery in the 1850's and the persistent racism in the 2000's. Great for readers of real stories and important subjects. Highly recommend. - Jeanne
Laugh out loud funny and heartbreakingly tender - this book tells the story of a 29 year old as her marriage ends and she learns how to live life alone. I cannot recommend this one enough! - Kelly
Inspired by David Copperfield, Kingsolver tackles the social, emotional, and financial dilemma of the foster care system in rural Appalachia. Main character, Demon, faces heartbreak, hunger, and unfairness as a product of this population. Yet, the loyalty and resilience embedded in this misunderstood culture allows him to finally experience love. Easy to devour, hard to imagine! - Jeanne
Dombrowsky ponders the question of what we should hand down to our offspring. He is a native of Michigan who found "the place in which he feels right to be" - Montana. Included are some memories he has fishing with the author Jim Harrison. - Phil
Gritty. Gripping. Violent. Intense. This novel explores how lives are lived so differently based on money, power, and class in modern India - and how all their lives were forever changed after on night. - Kelly
Such an outstanding and well written book! Mukherjee's skill as a writer matches his scientific achievements. Such a complex topic laid out as a narrative of doctors, patients, and scientists responsible for historic discoveries and breakthroughs. Engaging from beginning to end. - Chuck
An absolutely insane adventure with lesbian sword-wielding necromancers. Pretty simple, really. - Ethan
Meyer has done it again: caused us to laugh, cry, and say goodbye to good friends. The duology was an adventure I didn't want to ever end, but all stories end at some point. - Mia
