Death Comes to Marlow
by Robert Thorogood

book cover


I anticipated this book after reading the first Marlow Murder Club book last year. Intriguing alibis were the best part of the story but the answer to the mystery was not as intuitive. I liked how the story furthered character development from the first book.

A powerful, gut-punching novel in verse that tackles gun violence and the cycle of revenge. Reynolds' raw, poetic storytelling and the book's unique elevator-ride structure make for an intense, thought-provoking read .

Every Day Is A Gift
by Tammy Duckworth

View in Library Catalog

book cover


Senator Tammy Duckworth's memoir is a gift to all of us who've never participated in United States military operations and never really understood the experiences of the many veterans of the US military around us. Wounded Warriors and their families have offered all of us an immense gift as United States citizens and military participants who support government initiatives they cannot control or choose. I was wowed at Tammy Duckworth's ongoing steely spirit and will to super-cede mortal bounds ! She is one who has come so close to dying and rehabbed back with that immense determination to succeed and brilliantly advocate for her colleagues, their families, who cannot self-advocate as well at this time. I wish I could share her steeled backbone! These warriors and their families deserve nothing more than Honor and Tammy Duckworth's memoir is amazingly inspirational to me...Wowed!

I really enjoyed this easy read of someone living and working in the Cambodian dump, and the main character learned to read to save her child’s life. As a teacher, I love to read how education helps, but I also love to read about other countries and I know that this fiction book did represent real people in real situation. I would love to read more books by this author but couldn’t find what I was looking for at the Woodbridge library. Even this book was online only. :(
