The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry Submitted by Lynn M. This book is amazing. I'm still not sure entirely what the point is, but it's written so beautifully that it was just a joy to read. The author moves back and forth between past and present tense so smoothly that you almost don't notice it, giving the narrative a sense of immediacy that makes the reader feel a part of the story. (Adult Fiction) REQUEST .  Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate Submitted by Kelly K. Two stories unfold that eventually merge, leading to family secrets and a scandalous past revealed. From Memphis in 1939 to present day Aiken, South Carolina, this haunting historical mystery includes the true crimes of the deplorable Georgia Tann, who ran the Tennessee Children’s Home Society from 1920’s-1950. Fast-paced and compelling!
