The Lace Reader

Our book group enjoyed reading The Lace Reader. It was an easy read and kept you interested right to the end. Most of our book group felt the ending left lots of questions. The ending almost makes you want to go back and re-read the book again.

Like all of Jodi Picoults books this one makes you think of the possibilities for an ending that we don't readily think about - I love the way Jodi writes and captivates the reader

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

A wonderful look at the world of science that is easy to read and keeps you interested. The mix of Henrietta's story and the description of human cell structure is captivating and informative. This book is an unforgetable read.

Unbroken

Everyone young and old should have to read this book. We forget the sacrifices some gave for our country. This book tells a story of one man but brings to life the story of World War II and what was endured by so many. The life story of this one person brought to life the era of World War II for me like no history lesson ever could. This book is brilliant.
