Nut Butter Universe Nut Butter Universe
by Robin Robertson
Alexa's Comments
"This book offers what vegans need most, delightful, tasty, spreads that are alternatives to lunches filled with simple peanut butter or the always incredible hummus. I wouldn't miss this one for the world. Whatever recipes Robin develops they are always top of the top." (read more)

The Color of Rain
by Cori McCarthy

Teresa's Comments:
"Was lucky enough to read an advance copy. Gripping believable universe. Hard choices, hard consequences -- Rain has a lot a grit. Couldn't put it down. Had to read it again and liked it more the second time! You don't need to be a young adult to enjoy this one!" (read more)

The Tuner of Silences (Biblioasis International Translation)
The Tuner of Silences (Biblioasis International Translation)
by Mia Couto

Charles's Comments:
"A dystopian story, 'The Tuner of Silences' is about a father who takes his two sons [and] a loyal soldier, and simply withdraws. He tries to set up his version of a utopia in a former game reserve, but things, as they do, fall apart. Cuoto's writing is quietly devastating. I admired how he was willing to leave questions as questions: What is the war? What happened to the mother? When Cuoto's version of Godot does show up, the pace accelerates. Things change, but the questions -- and they are haunting questions -- remain." (read more)

I Thought My Father Was God: And Other True Tales from NPR's National Story Project
I Thought My Father Was God: And Other True Tales from NPR's National Story Project
by Paul Auster

Missy's Comments:
"I'm not embarrassed to admit that read this book one bathroom break at a time. It's perfect for that. Most of the stories are pretty good -- I remember some made me cry but I don't remember which. Though some stories will still, from time to time, flash in my mind." (read more)

Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously
Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously
by Julie Powell

Cristy's Comments:
"I recently read this after having seen the movie. I must say the book was so much better. Powell is an easy writer to read. She writes like she is talking to you, in a very comfortable prose; curse words and all....You can feel the intensity rolling off the page! Enjoy this book at the beach this summer -- just make sure you have a snack nearby or at least some fried livers!" (read more)
