WELL READ | BOOKS WE LOVE

So Cold The River by Michael Koryta Submitted by Kim S. This is a thrilling and chilling supernatural tale of a glorious old hotel, a mysterious billionaire, an antique bottle of mineral water, and revenge. Set in nearby French Lick Indiana a down and out film maker takes on an assignment that will lead him into a world where secrets lie and old wrongs must be set right. Those who enjoy Stephen King, Joe Hill and Peter Straub will love this suspenseful read. (Adult Fiction) REQUEST ITEM

The President is Missing by Bill Clinton and James Patterson Submitted by Kelly K. Filled with political intrigue and definitely insider information thanks to Bill Clinton, this is a thriller romp of suspense and cyberterrorism. I didn’t know what to expect, but thought I would give it a try and I am so glad I did! The beginning is a bit slow, more focused on politics -- but then the thriller kicks in with force and authenticity. I hope they team up again to let us know what happens next with President Jonathan Duncan. (Adult Mystery) REQUEST ITEM

Clock Dance by Anne Tyler Submitted by Terri S. When I pick up a book by Anne Tyler I have to pace myself – slow down and savor every word because I never want them to end. It’s the same with her latest, Clock Dance, an utterly bewitching novel. This is the story of Willa Drake, a woman whose life has been defined by circumstances outside of her control. A strange phone call changes everything for her, ultimately affecting her life (and those she loves) in the most profound ways. This is a novel about life’s second acts, taking chances and the beauty found in ordinary lives. Simply perfect! (Adult Fiction) REQUEST ITEM

At Home: A Short History of Private Life by Bill Bryson Submitted by Lynn M. I expect there aren’t too many people other than Bryson who can give you a tour of his house and in the process somehow discuss the Great Exhibition of 1851, the building of the Eiffel Tower, and the history of concrete. Bryson offers interesting answers to questions most people would never think to ask, and he writes well. (Adult Non-Fiction) REQUEST ITEM
