Adult Fiction
Hiaasen, Carl – Squeeze
Me (1920) – “On the night of January twenty-third, unseasonably calm and
warm, a woman named Kiki Pew Fitzsimmons went missing during a charity gala in
the exclusive island town of Palm Beach, Florida.” Everyone’s involved in this
story including the former president… Irreverent, ingenious, and highly
entertaining!Hill, Melissa – Keep
You Safe (1917) – How far would you go to protect your child? Vaccination
is certainly one of the issues… Mommy blogger Madeleine Cooper and her husband
declined measles shots for their daughter and then Clara and her classmate,
Rosie, both become sick.Morris, Heather – Three
Sisters (2021) – This is number three in the trilogy that began with The
Tattooist of Auschwitz and continued with Cilka’s Journey. Three
sisters promise their father that they will stay together and when all three
end up at Auschwitz, they promise each other that they will live. This book is
based on a true story.Murphy, Julie – Dumplin’
(2015) and Puddin’ (2018) – A good read about a young woman who is
not exactly the willowy type… I think I can identify! With starry Texas nights,
red candy suckers, Dolly Parton songs, and a wildly unforgettable heroine,
these two are stories for readers who like good endings!Pinborough, Sarah
– Cross Her Heart (2018) – a chilling psychological thriller about a
dedicated single mom, her restless teenage daughter, and her troubled friends –
about the secrets they hide and the pasts they cannot escape. Wow!Youngson, Anne – The
Narrowboat Summer (2020) – Ms. Youngson also wrote Meet Me at the Museum
which I loved, so, I cannot wait to get started on this one! The Narrowboat
Summer is a celebration of the power to change one’s life, at any age.Oates, Joyce Carol
(Editor) – The Oxford Book of American Short Stories (1992) – This book offers a sweeping survey of American short fiction in a collection of fifty-six
tales by authors that include Sarah Orne Jewett, Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, and
Katherine Anne Porter and this list only includes a few of the women.
Personally, I am going to try to read one of these stories each month….there
are so many authors in this book that I am not familiar with and I look forward to getting to know.
…with this thought…
and may we all stay safe this month... Wear your mask, limit your travels, and let us provide you with bags of good reads! Susan and the Library Ladies 💓
