How to Knit a Heart Back Home by Rachael Herron

Loved to read about the crazy knitting world. Change in your life is inevitable, and the harder you fight it the more you lose. -Pam B.

Borden Chantry by Louis L'amour

A story about a broke cattleman trying to provide for his family with the thankless job of a small-town marshal. The marshal has to uncover a murderer, relying upon his wits and instincts. -Klayne S.

I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter

This was the 1st book of a series that was great and definitely made me want to read the next book in the series. It was about a girls school that secretly trains spies. -Tonya H.

Bright Skies by Emilie Loring

This is my style of book. Some suspense, romance, and struggle between "good guys" and "bad guys." There was no offensive language or sexual situations. I am happy to find this author and plan to read more of her books. At times the dialogue became confusing as to who was talking. Also, I felt it started out a bit slow. Overall though, I really enjoyed reading this book. -Laurie S.

Her Sister's Shadow by Katharine Britton

Family secrets that weren't as secret as the main character thought. Honesty reunites sisters. -April W.

Crispin - At the Edge of the World by Avi

This is a continuation of the book Crispin and the Cross of Lead. The adventures of Crispin and Bear continue as they search for a place to live where they can be free. A new character is introduced --a young girl. I enjoyed this book just as much as the first. -Rena G.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

This book is a classic story that I have always wanted to read. I have seen the BBC series several times, but the book is even better! Mr. Darcy's prejudice and Elizabeth's pride keep them apart, but in the end their love wins. The Bennet family is so entertaining! This book is a great portrayal of the Victorian society where women were a burden in a family until they were married, and where everyone had their "proper place" in society. -Laura R.
