Into the Water, Paula Hawkins

This book is thrilling, addicting, and suspenseful. It is a true guessing game until the end. Many twists and turns. This is the "who done it" best book I have ever read lately. The only thing to be aware of when reading this book is YOU CAN'T put it down. There is a copy in ALC 4 if you want to borrow it.

Little Bee, Chris Cleave

This novel will draw you in the minute you start reading. It is a true page turner, filled with humor, sometimes dark, wit and compassion. Cleave uses two points of view to tell this compelling story. Sarah and Little Bee are both very strong, extraordinary women. Little Bee is an African girl coming to the Western world and struggling to be accepted. Sarah struggles with her morals. One day their lives collide and one of them has to make a choice, a choice nobody would want to make. Two years later, the story begins.

They both go on an all-night adventure of revenge, and when the new day breaks, Margo is gone. Quentin sets out to find her, solving clue after clue.

The Help, Kathryn Stockett

This is an awesome book! This story is set in the rural south of the 1960s. This is a tale about three women from a small town who work on a project to hopefully improve the future of black maids who work in white homes. When I was reading this story I couldn’t believe that these incidences were happening in my lifetime, not hundreds of years ago. The Help is told through three different voices. All three women have unique points of view. My favorite chapter is when they join together to make a certain pie. Read it and laugh!

Forever, by Pete Hamill

Through the eyes of Cormac O'Connor--granted immortality as long as he never leaves the island of Manhattan--we watch New York grow from a tiny settlement on the tip of an untamed wilderness to the thriving metropolis of today. And through Cormac's remarkable adventures in both love and war, we come to know the city's buried secrets--the way it has been shaped by greed, race, and waves of immigration, by the unleashing of enormous human energies, and, above all, by hope.

Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follett

Against this backdrop, lives entwine: Tom, the master builder, Aliena, the noblewoman, Philip, the prior of Kingsbridge, Jack, the artist in stone and Ellen, the woman from the forest who casts a curse. At once, this is a sensuous and enduring love story and an epic that shines with the fierce spirit of a passionate age.
