3. Three sisters start
a business. Light
reading about
family relationships.
It just kind of reads
itself!

4. The author asks
200 experts in
various fields if the
internet changes
how we think. All
these different
perspectives make
the book easy to
dip into.

5. Starts in 1880, with
a house built for a
bride, and then
follows all the
different people who
live in the house over
the years. Based on a
real house in George-
town, Colorado.

6. True life historical
mystery of tracking
down the cause and
spread of cholera in
1854 London.

7. Very intense story,
told from a working
farm dog’s point of
view. Rose the dog

after her owner is
injured. Hard to put
down.

8. Author took a tax
refund and used it
as seed money to
help women of El
Salvador, Nepal,
and India market
their handicrafts.
Fascinating what she
was able to do.

the Mast:
Amazing detail
about conditions
of sailing life in
the 1800s.

mediocre book

first in an upcoming
series of Jackie

interpreter for NBC

family in danger. With
correspondent

12. Really fun to read
about the places in
the south, around
Birmingham, that
she mentions. Took
awhile for me to get
into, but now it’s
really a go.

13. Fascinating look at
a period of history
we don’t know much
about. People from
that time often
destroyed romantic
letters, but they
saved theirs.

14. Insightful story of a
cancer survivor and

her new lease on life
by taking on difficult
tasks. A good read.

amount of money made
a huge difference.
Inspiring story of one
person changing the
world in their own way.

16. A rich 19th century
industrialist’s
daughter marries
into English aristoc-
racy. Fans of PBS’

should like this too.

17. Enjoying life often
takes a back seat to
life’s demands; this
book reminds you to
enjoy life and figure
out what would make
you happy.

18. Fun read, done as
if the hero of TV’s

it himself. The char-
acter is an author
who solves mysteries
and interacts with
real life mystery
authors.

19. True story of a
physician at New
York City’s famous
psychiatric
hospital. The chaos
and stress of the

out of her.

Journey is a
wonderfully written
story of a young
man from Mumbai
who becomes a
French chef.

21. Two Baltimore men
share the same
name, but have
entirely different
lives. The author

different life paths
and how they led
them to different
ends.
