Ellen's November Picks
From Julie : Ellen is my mom and she recommends books to me all the time. Sometimes she recommends them because she enjoyed them and other times, just because she found a situation or character in a book unbelievable. I never go wrong when I read something she recommends!
The Wrong Family by Tarryn Fisher
This book is a thriller with many unexpected twists. I enjoyed the way the author gradually revealed Juno's situation. It gave me many things to think about such as, "Do past mistakes haunt us the rest of our lives? Can a person who hasn't been homeless really understand the difficulties?"
The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict
All of Benedict's books have been very interesting. I've gained insight into the historical women she writes about and the mores of the time period in which they lived.
Game On : Tempting Twenty-Eight by Janet Evanovich
Game on is a fun and fast read if you are looking for something light. Stephanie Plum is a bail bonds enforcement agent. She and her sidekick, Lula, have all kinds of mishaps trying to apprehend fugitives who are FTA - Failure to Appear. In this latest Stephanie Plum book, a group of small-time hackers known as the Baked Potatoes are turning up dead. She is after the dangerous criminal believed to be responsible. Evanovich has a new series coming out next spring that looks interesting too. It will feature Gabriella Rose as a recovery agent looking for lost treasures.
