Stardust (P.S.)
by Neil Gaiman
Emma's Comments:
"The storyline of this book is intricate and beautiful. I have been recommending it ever since I finished it. The characters are all so likable and interesting. This author was amazing at capturing the quaintness of the little town of Wall and the beauty of the other side of Wall. I loved the people in the strange marketplace, and all the adventures Tristan had while traveling around in the magical world. The ending is perfect and a great way to wrap everything up. Neil Gaiman is such a great storyteller. He is so descriptive and has you fall in love with every character. This is a great light read! Once you start it, you won't be able to put it down!"

The Edible Front Yard: The Mow-Less, Grow-More Plan for a Beautiful, Bountiful Garden
by Ivette Soler
Patty's Comments:
"It isn't very often that a book is as practical and inspiring as Ivette Soler's "The Edible Front Yard" comes along. It is a book for our era of sustainable gardening and self sufficiency. The book is well organized, easy to read and filled with inspiration. Her honest approach at creating an edible front yard does not sacrifice the practical for the beautiful but demonstrates how to marry the two in genius fashion. It is a book that offers not just pretty pictures but what works and what doesn't, offering the reader sound advice that will well serve them as they garden. Big thumbs up from this long time gardener." (read more)

What Alice Forgot
by Liane Moriarty
Brenda's Comments:
"I have to admit if I saw this book in a book store or library I probably would not have considered reading it....I am glad I did [read it]...once I started reading I had a hard time putting it down till I was finished....I found this novel to be quite creative and imaginative, especially how the author unraveled the story thread by thread, memory by memory and bit by bit. Loved the fact that it did not come all about at once....[S]he leads you through the maze of jumbled thoughts, the interwoven stories of life, love, relationships, death, children and family."

Running the Books: The Adventures of an Accidental Prison Librarian
by Avi Steinberg
David's Comments:
"What a great read. Bravo, Avi Steinberg. 'Running the Books' is a witty, funny, sober, and thoughtful portrayal and analysis of what over- and underachievement may mean today for the educated; the prison system; some of the values in arts & letters; the penal system; and the dead-end continuum for much of the criminal cohort. An added bonus for those who grew up in the area but are far from home is the flavor of Boston and some aspects of the local temperament and history. A book lover's book, indeed." (read more)
