Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)
by
Mindy Kaling
Glynis
, January 12, 2015
Mindy Kaling's voice is hilarious, endearing, and instantly relatable. The book covers everything from childhood humiliation to what to look for in an adult relationship. For the length of it, Kaling will make you laugh out loud. The book itself is a short and easy read. The anecdotes will not necessarily change your perspective on life, however, the book is a pleasant and worthwhile way to spend an afternoon.

Outlander Starz Tie in Edition
by
Diana Gabaldon
Glynis
, January 12, 2015
Outlander is a fast-paced and enticing novel. The story transports the reader between 1945 and 1743 Scotland, making it immediately engaging for anyone with a passion for history or an appreciation for Scottish culture. The feminine protagonist is strong, intelligent, and a respectable heroine. The cast of characters, conflict between the English and the Scottish, druid folklore, and romance can entertain nearly any reader.

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
by
Jonathan Safran Foer
Glynis
, January 12, 2015
This quickly became one of my favorite books. Foer writes in an unconventional style, combining words and images. The result is that this book will impact you deeply on an emotional level. The protagonist, Oscar, is a clever, witty child whose journey reminds you to always be searching for new perspective. The story is engaging - forcing you to laugh out loud, then cry, then laugh again. A must read.

The Signature of All Things
by
Elizabeth Gilbert
Glynis
, January 12, 2015
The Signature of All Things is a beautiful written, intelligent book. Gilbert writes to both the scientific and the spiritual minds. The story follows Alma Whittaker as she grows up with a firm love for botany and the study of bryozoa. The novel encourages you to explore the beauty in nature.

Unnatural Creatures: Short Stories Selected by Neil Gaiman
by
Neil Gaiman
Glynis
, February 05, 2014
Unnatural Creatures is a brilliant anthology of short stories selected by Neil Gaiman. Each work is a treasure. The collection makes you want to return to all the old science fiction and fantasy stories you read as a child. There are old classics, tales of Griffons and mermaids, and new horrors, carnivorous plants that sprout from seeds in the blink of an eye. Good for children, adolescents and adults alike.
