Tried and True Favorites:
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women’s war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France–a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime. I loved it!
The Emerald Mile by Kevin Fedarko
Anyone that knows me knows that this has been my favorite non-fiction book of the last couple of years. This is the story of the Spring of 1983. Because of the massive El Nino that winter, the massive snowmelt sent runoff racing down the Colorado River toward Glen Canyon Dam. As federal officials scrambled to avoid one of the most dramatic dam failures in history, a trio of river guides secretly launched a hand-built wooden dory named the Emerald Mile into the Colorado to try to make a record for the fastest non-motorized trip through the Grand Canyon. This was a thrilling book to read and I especially loved it because I knew some of those river people.
Only Child by Guojing
This stunningly beautiful wordless picture book is my new favorite in the Children’s book section. A little girl—lost and alone—follows a mysterious stag deep into the woods, and, like Alice down the rabbit hole, she finds herself in a strange and wondrous world. But…home and family are very far away. How will she get back there? It’s been on many “best book of the year” lists even though it came out in December.
