The Duke & I by Julia Quinn
If you enjoy historical fiction, the plot itself is very charming and sprinkled with humor. The voice of the narrator is enough to transport you to 19th century England.
Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
Olive is a retired school teacher who lives in the small town of Crosby, Maine. The book is a collection of stories about how her life is intertwined with the lives of people around her. She is wicked, funny, but most of all brutally honest as she tries to understand the change happening in and around her.
Brenda's Picks
The Coworker by Freida McFadden
A twisty psychological thriller! I wasn’t sure who to believe or trust while I was reading this book. An office is filled with secrets and Dawn is a coworker that is obsessed with turtles and is an awkward outsider. This book is a reminder to always be kind even to weird people! 🙂
