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)
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)

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)
