Janelle's Picks
I learned some history of the depression area; especially of the work people found. Example: The work involved at that time to extract turpentine...those details were very interesting.
The King of Nobody’s Island by Thomas Enright - Another Northwoods book! Only this one was written in 1909. It's a great story of stock market trading, romance, suspense, and giving up city life for a quiet life in the woods on Nobody’s Island.
Never - Ken Follett - A real suspense story, and it almost felt like we were actually living the suspense.
Blood Orange Night - Fascinating to learn about how the mind works. The audiobook is good too, as the author is the narrator.
Sarah's Usually Slightly Oddball Picks
1222 - You kinda don't like the narrator cuz she's a jerk, but you learn why, and there's a great "locked room" mystery during a snowstorm.
The Bullet That Missed - The third book in the popular Thursday Murder Club. The plot is ludicrous, but the characters are so fun, I just don't care!
Courtship of Two Doctors - A series of letters written between two medical students in the 1930s. Their courtship is adorable, but the medical info is very interesting, too.
