We especially like...
Liz liked: Blue Monday by Nicci French - A slightly literary and very suspenseful thriller - first in a series. Don't miss this introduction of Frieda Klein, described by Tami Hoag as "complex and flawed - a refreshingly human protagonist".
Liz liked: The Expats by Chris Pavone - Edge of your seat exciting all the way through! (read more)
Mary liked: Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? by Jeanette Winterson -
If you haven't read Winterson before, grab a copy of one of her novels (Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Written on the Body, or my all-time favorite The Passion) ASAP. Her new memoir is beautiful and sad and funny all together. It is a fearless exploration of what makes an artist, and a daughter, and a life.
Now in paperback: The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh -
Several of us loved this one! Great for the beach or for book clubs. On sale April 3.
Louise liked: Thunder and Rain by Charles Martin -
Great beach read. Laughed a little, cried a little, happy ending. On sale April 3. |
