In Shock: My Journey from Death to recovery and the Redemptive Power of hope
by Rana Awdish
View in Library Catalog
It is always an experience when we get the experience of living on the other side of the tracks. The author did an excellent job of expressing what her experience was like when she wore the robe of a patient instead of that of a doctor. She had the experience of lying in a hospital bed and watching and hearing the treatments that patients get from their medical team. She was able to experience the coldness, insensitivity, the mistakes, the delays, dealing with attitudes and the attitude of being treated as a subject, as a bed #. She saw and heard, ego, self-satisfaction, nonchalant attitude from the medical team caring for her. This was an eye opener for her and made her determine in her heart that she would not display these attitudes in her practice.
Whose Dead, Doc?
by James M. Griffin
View in Library Catalog
I like cozies. They're easy, breezy reads that are fun to read after a long day at work. Juliette takes care of bunnies and solves mysteries in her spare time as an amateur sleuth. When a dead body ruins a birthday party she's hosting a bunny show at, the host asks her to get involved and help the cops find the killer. It wasn't going to be easy since Evelyn, the person who has killed, was disliked by everyone and had a lot of enemies. She would blackmail people. To help uncover more about Eveyln's murder, Juliette accepts a position as a judge at a local bunny competition. Evelyn was judging but since was killed, the competition was down a judge. For the most part, it's a fun and thrilling read. Some parts are hard to read if you're a hardcore animal lover like me. Not everyone in the book loves and cares about the sweet little bunnies and sometimes puts them in harm's way.

Slam and Dunk and The Big Game
by Chris Sawyer
View in Library Catalog
This story was easy to read and has a nice pictures. I like that Slam and Dunk have a big basketball game against the Bobcats. Their parents were watching the game but Dunk lost confidence when he saw that the Bobcats were BIG. Slam and Dunk finally defeated Bobcats. This is a great lesson about teamwork.

Blue Christmas
by Mary Kay Andrews
View in Library Catalog
'Tis the week before Christmas, and antiques dealer Weezie Foley is in a frenzy to do up her shop right for the Savannah historical district decorating contest, which she fully intends to win. Her motif is Graceland Blue Christmas, with lots of tinsel, an aluminum tree, and enough tacky retro doodads to fill the Grand Ole Opry. But no sooner is she certain she's one-upped the trendy shop around the corner when Weezie notices things going strangely missing from her display.

Raoul Nicolson is a serial killer who strangles,cuts out eyes & tongue of his victims. Then sets them on fire. He escapes from prison. Psychologist Kiernan Finnegan & her fiance, FBI Craig Frasier, are both involved in recapturing him. The day Raoul escaped other dead bodies start piling up & it looks similar to Raouls work. The story was good until the end. It wound up to be 2 minor characters not even appearing to be connected who framed Raoul for the murders for money. It was so disappointing! It was like reading one story & it switched to something different.

Rescue

In this book the focus is on family and the bonds that tie families together. The main character, Webster, is an EMT in Vermont raising his 17 year old daughter on his own after he sent his wife away following a car accident that she caused. While most of the book focuses on the events leading up to the accident the end brings to light the fragile strings that tie family members together, regardless of the distance, time or emotional space between them.
