Adult Fiction
"Mossy Creek" by Deborah Smith, Sandra Chastain, Donna Ball, Debra Dixon, Nancy Knight, and Virginia Ellis
A small southern town is full of quirky characters, including a gun-weilding mayor and flying chihuahua.
This book is definitely funny and clean. It reads more like a collection of short stories, so it's ideal to pick up when you may not have a lot of time to read.
"Exposure" by Brandilynn Collins
Someone is stalking newspaper feature writer Kaycee Raye. Disturbing images keep popping up all around her, but the evidence disappears before anyone else can witness it. Is she imagining everything? Or is there something much darker going on?
I love a good suspense novel and Collins didn't disappoint. There was no objectionable content, and I actually jumped at one point. (Embarrasing, but true.) There was twist at the end that caught me off guard. Looking forward to more!
Fiction for Kids
"The Little Riders" by Margaretha Shemin
Eleven-year-old Johanna goes to visit her grandparents in Holland and is forced to stay there during WWII. She regularly helps her grandparents take care of the "little riders," part of the majestic clock that stands above their town. When the occupying German officials announce a new law that spells disaster for their town clock, Johanna shows great bravery in protecting this special treasure.
The kids and I have all enjoyed this quick read so far. There's a lot of excitement that propels the story and the history lesson is great!
