An Elderly Lady Is Up To No Good
by Helene Tursten
View in Library Catalog
book cover


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 was a great manga. The main character, Yuta Okkotsu experiences a new school of sorcery and fights intense battles. The book is very well written and deserves more hype. The movie is great as well.
The Stolen Life Of Colette Marceau
by Kristin Harmel

book cover


This was a dual-timeline historical novel set in present day and WWII, but a little different from most in that the primary character is the same throughout. Present day Colette is in her 80s, but still an active jewel thief. 1940s Colette was a child, but a jewel thief even then. But she's a jewel thief with a twist--she only still from the evil, and uses the proceeds to fund positive things. An engaging story with twists and turns, centering around a two-piece bracelet.

book cover


Twisty and entertaining thriller about an unsolved murder and a group of college friends at a very Duke-like university. Lots of twists and turns, suspenseful, and also a really interesting look at the complexities of friendship, especially within a group.
A History of Fear

book cover


WARNING THIS BOOK IS A PSEUDO-DOCUMENTARY Yes, I spent way too much time on google trying to figure out if there really was a murder in Scotland and the person of interest said the devil made him do it. I'm sure there's plenty of real life stories that follow that line, but this is definitely a fiction. Google confirmed it. Anyways. This book was well written. It took a minute to get into and to get used to the main character. There were many twists and turns and I did predict a few. The build up is quite lengthy so hold your judgement until 75% of the way through the book.

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...!
