The Book Of Lost Friends
by Lisa Wingate
View in Library Catalog
Great historical fiction centered on the actual newspaper ads listed in southern newspapers searching for lost family members following the abolition of slavery. The story dovetails the life of a former slave and the life of a present day teacher in Augustine, Louisiana. As their stories progress, though 100 years apart, the connections between the two are made with the discovery of a hidden book.
Kill Shot

Hard to put down, once you start reading. Suspenseful, fast paced.
Object of My Affection
by Jill Smolinski
View in Library Catalog
A humorous look at how a personal organizer convinces an elderly artist to divest herself of a houseful of objects she's been hoarding for years. At the same time, the organizer gets to see and understand the why the artist held on to things and why she, herself could not let go of some things in her life. I recommend the book as it really got into some of the whys of hoarding and was written in an uplifting way.

House Rules
by Jodi Picoult

Another gem by Jodi Picoult. In this book she brings to light the day to day life and struggles that families living with children who have Asperger's syndrome experience. She then takes it to another level when the main character (an 18 year old with Asperger's) is charged with the murder of his social skills tutor. His younger brother is also involved and the reader does not find out what actually happened that day until the very end of the book. Although I was still left with questions that I wish could have been answered after the final page I would definitely recommend this book. As usual Picoult brings to light insights into an often unexplored topic and is able to weave into the story opportunities for self reflection and introspection.

All Our Wrong Todays
by Elan Mastai
View in Library Catalog
I am always in search of more novels that explore the topics of time travel and alternate dimensions. After reading a short description of this book, I had very high expectations. Despite a slow start, this book exceeded my expectations. It was a journey through a fun alternate world full of twists, turns, and character development. I found many of the twists in this book unpredictable and was constantly on edge, wondering how the conflict could possibly be resolved. I highly recommend to anyone who likes time travel, the multiverse, romance, psychology, or just escaping into another world for a while.
