The Chosen by Jerry B. Jenkins

After watching the television series I was interested in reading the book. I am so glad I did because each chapter explained each episode in more depth. It made it easier to understand the characters in the show as well since it created more understanding as to why the characters acted the way they did. ~ Stephanie D. 

Horse by Geraldine Brooks

This novel is based on true horse racing history. -lots of twists and turns going between 2 centuries- the author is a Pulitzer Prize winner, too - but for another book...which I must read. (I finished this book in 3 days!) ~ Agnes W.

Hell's Half-Acre by Susan Jonusas 

Read this for WPL's True Crime Book Club. When I initially read the synopsis, it wasn't something I thought I'd enjoy. To my surprise, I found it to be a good and easy read. I'm looking forward to the discussion. In the 1800's, the Bender family setup a tavern and camp for unsuspecting travelers seeking respite on their journey. Their crimes were of a heinous nature, including burying a child alive! Thought to be dimwitted, they managed to out-run the law and disappear - never to be caught.               ~ Mary T. 

November 9 by Colleen Hoover

This book was absolutely amazing! And the twists had my jaw on the floor!!! Beautiful story throughout! I even found myself sobbing during some chapters. I really enjoyed this books so much. ~ Tiffany C.
