  • “The Love of my Life” by Rosie Walsh

    Cathy recommends: The Love of my Life by Rosie Walsh

    Genre: Fiction

    Reading Level: Adult

    Summary: Well-meaning omissions of the truth will explode at the worst possible times.

    Cathy says: It’s a thriller; it’s a mystery which is unravelling one page and one shock after another. This book truly changed and morphed with every revealed factoid. There was never a hint, never foreshadowing, never following to a logical conclusion. This reader could not put it down!

    This title is available at Tyler Free Library.

  • “How to Read a Book” by Monica Wood

    Chris recommends: How to Read a Book by Monica Wood
