A great look at the history of the Memphis Zoo. Great pictures and tons of info found here!

Delightful YA novel that is significantly better than the movie. Gives a lot of insight into the character Simon, who is even more likable here b/c he is less manipulative. Gives much more depth into the relationship of Simon and his pen pal Blue.

Amy Engel writes a really good mystery. Her characters, like Eve, have grit and gumption. She relys on herself to find her daughters killer.

Dr. Nadine Lavoie works in a lockdown psychiatric hospital. As she helps a woman who has attempted suicide she comes to terms with her own traumatic childhood. Good storyline, good characters.

If you enjoy southern writing and stories about real life Sean Dietrich books are for you. Ever read Rick Bragg?? You'll love Seans!

This book is a real page turner written in many ways like a mystery being unveiled. Beautiful writing style, deeply self reflective. Excellent read for a trip.

This is a great read that combines personal anecdotes with self-empowerment. Reminiscent of books like Elizabeth Gilbert's Big Magic (the author references Gilbert as a friend/mentor). Focuses a lot on parenting and on her relationship with wife Abby Wambach. Will probably make a lot more sense if you've read her previous book(s) first.

This is another one of my daughter's favorite books. We do all the sounds to it and when we're done we always reread it again and again.

Another funny story featuring Miss Julia. This series is funny, touching, and just a good read.

Fun read with interesting characters. Enjoyed.
