Weekend Reads

Went out of town on a weekend getaway with my husband. We met his parents in Ashland, OR for the Shakespeare Festival. We had a great time. While I was gone, I was able to finish two books...BEACH HOUSE by Jane Green and MISS ZUKAS AND THE LIBRARY MURDERS by Jo Dereske. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them! You will find that it is hard to find a book I don't like...I can only think of a few...or I just never finish them. I was sucked into a MYSTERY series...even though you KNOW how I feel about them. I went to a Library Conference in Olympia, WA at the beginning of October and met the author of these mysteries...she was funny and interesting, so I decided to try the first one. It was a light read...I didn't figure out who it was until nearly the end, and I really loved the characters. It takes place in a library, what is not to like?

BEACH HOUSE reminded me of Tales of the City by Armistead Maupin...loosely...a little more light, great characters and the kind of book that you don't want to put down because you want to know what happens. There is a little twist in the book to keep you interested. I was recommended this book by a fellow Librarian and I loved it! It takes place in Nantucket and makes you want to make summer last forever!
