Live by Night by Dennis Lehane

dreena, September 9, 2013

Lehane has done it again with another wonderfully crafted story of Joe Coughlin, a young man who chooses the dark side of life as he climbs the ladder of organized crime. The Prohibition era in Boston comes alive through another great Lehane read. Read it before it becomes a movie!!!

Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman

dreena, May 5, 2013

This gut wrenching story questions the power of love and the choices we make for those we love. The isolation of the lighthouse is a fitting metaphor for its keeper,Tom who bravely makes the first choice. A powerful story.

Elders by Ryan McIlvain

dreena, April 2, 2013

McIlvain's prose carries the reader on a tide of emotions as two young missionaries confront their faith and each other on their mission in Brazil. Although set in the context of a Mormon missionary experience, the missionaries, McCloud and Passos, confront universal questions of faith and doubt and leave the readers thinking about the core and truth of their own values. McIlvain is most assuredly on his way as a new, talented writer. Wow!

The Hat by Jan Brett

dreena, January 28, 2013

All of Jan Brett's books are magical and this is no different. Although the story is similar to The Mitten, it seems fresh with its funny and fantastic illustrations, Hedgie appears as a central character and reappears in some of her other books. Preschoolers, like my 2 year old grandson, will love The Hat and enjoy looking for Hedgie in Brett's other books,too.
