WHAT THE LIBRARIAN IS READING

All Titles are in the Benson Library except where noted:

Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
      Wow!  If you are grieving, wanting to get inside a teenager's mind,
discovering more about the French revolution or music, falling in love, or dealing
with mental health issues, this is one incredible book, even if only one of these
describes you.  

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
     The author of The Remains of the Day returns with a tale that looks at the
value of human life, friendship, love and what is a life worth living.  I don't want to
give the twist away, but it is worth a read for those looking for more than a light
story.

The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
   1913 Cornwall and Australia.  2005 Cornwall and Australia.  An old woman
searches for her origins, later continued by her granddaughter.  Full of mystery,
romance, and a view of the ocean.

illness and the other sister's need to feel normal.  (Available from within the
Pioneerland System but not at Benson.)

Gladiator by Carla Capshaw
  From the Harlequin Love Inspired Historical series - Yes! The librarian has
been know to read a Harlequin :-)  and she enjoyed it!   (Available from within the
Pioneerland System but not at Benson.)

The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Bag by Alan Bradley
 Book two in the Flavia de Luce Mystery series.  Loved it even more than the
first volume.

The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
 Book one in the Flavia de Luce Mystery series.  Was sluggish at times but was
ripping through at the end.

Stravaganza: City of Ships by Mary Hoffman

adventures in a parallel world similar to but not quite Renaissance Italy.

Flawed Dogs by Berkeley Breathed
The man who brought the world Bloom County now brings a comedic romp of
regular dogs through the stuffy pedigreed Westminster dog show.  Laugh out
loud funny.

The Cat Who Wasn't There by Lilian Jackson Braun
This time the murder happens in Scotland and not in Pickax, but it is still up to
Qwilleran and his Siamese cats to save the day and solve the case.

Some Enchanted Evening by Christina Dodd
Perfect romantic escape to Scotland in the early 19th century with damsels not in
distress but still being saved by a handsome, irresistible lord of the manor.

Grange House by Sara Blake
Part ghost story and part summer love, summer experienced at a Maine resort by
the upper crust of Boston and New York.  One young woman discovers more to
the house's history and her family's history than first meets the eye.
