Three sisters start a business. Light reading about family relationships. It just kind of reads itself!

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.

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.

True life historical mystery of tracking down the cause and spread of cholera in 1854 London.

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.

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.

Two Years Before the Mast: Amazing detail about conditions of sailing life in the 1800s.

I hate it when a mediocre book captures me! The first in an upcoming series of Jackie Kennedy spy fiction.

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.

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.

Fascinating look ata period of historywe don’t know much about. People from that time often destroyed romantic letters, but they saved theirs.

Insightful story of a cancer survivor and how her friends share her new lease on life by taking on difficult tasks. A good read.

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.

A rich 19th century industrialist’s daughter marries into English aristoc-racy. Fans of PBS’ “Downton Abbey” should like this too.

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.

Fun read, done asif 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.

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.

The Hundred-Foot Journey is a wonderfully written story of a young man from Mumbai who becomes a French chef.

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.
