Worth Dying For
Worth Dying For by Lee Child (Mystery, Horror, Crime, Business, Politics)
A favorite Jack Reacher mystery! The setting is in rural Nebraska where some adult bullies are running the town and Jack just stumbles upon their troubles and can't leave without helping. Very enjoyable! -- Added by Spetzie on 02/11/2013

Executive Privilege by Phillip Margolin (Adventure, Suspense, Travel, Sports)

Call the Midwife by Jennifer Worth (Classics, Literary Fiction, Biography)
An enlightening memoir concerning midwives in London during the 1950's. Great narration with some harrowing tales of bravery and sacrifice. Would highly recommend! -- Added by Spetzie on 02/11/2013

The story lines are great. Is the television series true to the book? -- sarasotasun on 02/15/2013  
Where'd You Go, Bernadette
Where'd You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
What a ride! Such a fun, witty and outlandishly humorous story! The main character, Bernadette is extremely quirky and lives a reclusive, yet disruptive life. Her teen daughter Bee is inquisitive and together, they make a great story...highly recommend! -- Added by Spetzie on 01/15/2013

Bel Canto
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett (Romance, Women's Fiction, Relationships, Humor)
Read this for our book club meeting next week, and was a bit disappointed. A hostage situation in a third world country that lasts for four months?! Really!? Lines become blurred and friendships are made between captives and captors. A bit heavy on their love of opera as well. -- Added by Spetzie on 01/09/2013
