Run for the Hills
by Kevin Wilson
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Quirky characters fill this unique story about four half siblings who go in search of their father—who disappeared from each of their individual families to start his life over. Offbeat and funny, sometimes poignant, and entertaining throughout.
Israel, My Beloved
by Caleb Carr

book cover


A wonderful book for animal lovers, especially rescued cats. A little slow at times, it does work as a memoir. And architecture lovers will enjoy reading about the unique house Caleb built. And nature lovers will appreciate the vivid descriptions of the Taconic mountain. It's a light summer read, great for small moments. But be ready to cry at the end.

Already left a review for this week when I posted my previous time. I still feel the same about the book-good read but not one of my favorite books by this author.
An Elderly Lady Is Up To No Good

Despite being an unusual character who’s not entirely likable, I still wanted to be a fly on her wall, and revisit her. The wicked behavior is creative, funny, and her craven motivations are very human, and admittedly, relatable. Fun collection to dip into periodically.

This book is truly a masterpiece, depicting the tragedies of the Holocaust, and creating a powerful voice for the future.

The fifth in a series is more fun than the past books because I know the area it takes place, and because I'm be to tarot. It's fun to learn about "magic" with historical references. A joy to read.

I loved this, and it was made even better by taking place in RI. It was an empowering story about a woman who takes back her life after hitting rock bottom in the most unexpected of circumstances.

This was a good book. My son and I really enjoyed it. We laughed and we thoroughly enjoyed reading it together.

It was a really good volume but I didn’t like how Nagato, Konan, and Tamiko just immediately thought morays was great, like he was an enemy shinobi, why do you just immediately think he’s great
Birding with Benefits
by Sarah T. Dubb
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is S.T. Dubbs debut novel that takes place in Tucson, AZ where the author actually resides. I really wanted to like this book and placed it on hold because I, too, love birding. There was a very simple plot of an avid birder, John Maguire, who enters a birding contest but his partner drops out at the last minute and asks an acquaintance to step in. Enter Celeste who knows nothing about birds. The rest of the book is a basic boy meets girl, and they fall in love with no twists or surprises. John and Celeste are in their 40's and the sex scenes, sexting, etc. were a bit much and not believable, and I am no prude. But it is called Birding with Benefits...!
