3. Three sisters start
a business. Light
reading about
family relationships.
It just kind of reads
itself!
4. The author asks
200 experts in
various fields if the
internet changes
how we think. All
these different
perspectives make
the book easy to
dip into.
5. Starts in 1880, with
a house built for a
bride, and then
follows all the
different people who
live in the house over
the years. Based on a
real house in George-
town, Colorado.
7. Very intense story,
told from a working
farm dog’s point of
view. Rose the dog
keeps the farm going
after her owner is
injured. Hard to put
down.
8. Author took a tax
refund and used it
as seed money to
help women of El
Salvador, Nepal,
and India market
their handicrafts.
Fascinating what she
was able to do.
9. Two Years Before
the Mast:
Amazing detail
about conditions
of sailing life in
the 1800s.
10. I hate it when a
mediocre book
captures me! The
first in an upcoming
series of Jackie
Kennedy spy fiction.
11. Working as an
interpreter for NBC
News in war-torn Iraq
puts Barrak and her
family in danger. With
correspondent
Teague’s help, she
escapes to America
and starts a new life.
12. Really fun to read
about the places in
the south, around
Birmingham, that
she mentions. Took
awhile for me to get
into, but now it’s
really a go.
13. Fascinating look at
a period of history
we don’t know much
about. People from
that time often
destroyed romantic
letters, but they
saved theirs.
14. Insightful story of a
cancer survivor and
how her friends share
her new lease on life
by taking on difficult
tasks. A good read.
15. Gup discovered a
suitcase of letters
revealing his grand-father
gave away $5.00 to
people during the
depression, when that
amount of money made
a huge difference.
Inspiring story of one
person changing the
world in their own way.
16. A rich 19th century
industrialist’s
daughter marries
into English aristoc-
racy. Fans of PBS’
“Downton Abbey”
should like this too.
17. Enjoying life often
takes a back seat to
life’s demands; this
book reminds you to
enjoy life and figure
out what would make
you happy.
18. Fun read, done as
if the hero of TV’s
“Castle” had written
it himself. The char-
acter is an author
who solves mysteries
and interacts with
real life mystery
authors.
19. True story of a
physician at New
York City’s famous
psychiatric
hospital. The chaos
and stress of the
job took an
incredible amount
out of her.
20. The Hundred-Foot
Journey is a
wonderfully written
story of a young
man from Mumbai
who becomes a
French chef.
21. Two Baltimore men
share the same
name, but have
entirely different
lives. The author
contrasts their two
different life paths
and how they led
them to different
ends.
