Lynda recommends:
Newly released from prison, Oliver meets up with the lead detective on his case and tells him what led to his murder arrest ten years ago. This chilling literary thriller is packed with suspense! Shakespeare fanatics will especially appreciate this novel!
Colleen recommends:
Many of us are still mourning the loss of Barb from "Stranger Things", but fear not! Bailey has created a shrine of our beloved leader for all of the underdogs - the ones who knew that they were not a Nancy, but a Barb. This book perfectly combines humor and wisdom while reflecting on the life of this iconic character.
Kym recommends:
Jane, the enchanting main character who has recently lost her beloved Aunt Magnolia, is invited to a gala by her former tutor, the glamorous Kiran. Jane readily accepts the invitation to Kiran's home - an island mansion more resembling a castle. She packs up her handmade umbrellas, her current artistic obsession, and begins her adventures.
At Tu Reviens, she encounters a beguiling and mysterious cast of characters including Kiran's twin, Ravi, a basset hound named Jasper, and the mystery of a missing masterpiece, with a narrative that is straight up fast-paced and addicting. This is storytelling at its absolute finest - brilliant writing, insanely imaginative story, and a protagonist you will love. Come meet Kristin on Friday, September 29th!
