Adult Summer Reading Reviews

"Novel Destinations" is coming to an end. Readers were asked to submit book reviews, here are four titles that received the "5 Star" rating.

Fudge Cupcake Murder by Joanne Fluke [reviewed by Emily Gibson]
"I really enjoy Joanne Fluke. The recipes are so delicious. I can not wait to try these cupcakes. I look forward to following Hannah on another murder mystery, and learning more about her and her family.

Once Upon A Time, There Was You by Elizabeth Berg [reviewed by Shari Zavala]
"Great story about relationships, I really felt like I knew the characters and left with that feeling of whay are they doing now. Great read-hard to put down! Good message about life.

High Five by Janet Evanovich [reviewed by Liz Vesich]
"This book will have you laughing out loud. A great thriller with non-stop action. The crazy cast of characters keep you entertained and guessing right to the end."

The Paris Wife by Paula McLain [reviewed by Virginia Wagner]
"Loved this book! The Paris Wife transports you to another place and time - Paris in the 1920's. It captures a remarkable period of time and a love affair between two unforgettable people: Ernest Hemingway and his wife Hadley."
