Fiction
- From the Corner of the Oval by Beck Dorey-Stein
- Spoonbenders by Daryl Gregory
- Moloka’i by Alan Brennert
Graphic Novel
- Little Moments of Love by Catanda Chetwynd – This is both funny and sweet. The graphic novel is based on the author’s real relationship and while I may find the author humorously clingy on her husband, it is also romantic! – Sherlene
Nonfiction
- The Perfectionists: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World by Simon Winchester
- Little Heathens: Hard times and high spirits on an Iowa farm during the Great Depression by Mildred Kalish
- I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death by Maggie O’Farrell
DVD
- La La Land – When I watched “La La Land” the first time I was so bummed there wasn’t a happy ever after for Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone that I didn’t appreciate the wonderful songs and dancing as much as I should have. I also didn’t consider the encouraging influence on each other that Ryan and Emma had despite the lack of an HEA. The jazz music wasn’t half bad either! As a lover of musicals I’ve added this one to my list of movies to recommend. – Sherlene
