dirtylibrarianThe Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown
Adult Book on Tape
Conspiracies. Art. History. Religion vs. Myth.
A bit cheesy in places, but it really made the miles fly by!
Mother, Come Home
Paul Hornschemeier
Adult Graphic Novel
Family. Insanity. Grief. Suicide. Memory.
Dark and sad, with enjoyable art.
Lovecraft
Hans Rodionoff
Adult Graphic Novel
Horror. Family. Insanity. Authors.
Interesting look at what might have been going on in Lovecrafts head.
Noble Causes
Jay Faerber
Adult Graphic Novel
Superheros. Family. Love. Death. Gossip.
Comic book soap opera.
SECRET
Doing It
Melvin Burgess
Teen Fiction
Sex. Teen boys. Sex. Morals. Sex. Emotion. Sex. Snogging.
Fairly enjoyable, though at sometimes uncomfortably realistic. Really captured the lives of teen boys, as seen through hormone goggles.
Grrl Scouts: Work Sucks
Jim Mahfood
Adult Graphic Novel
Reformed drug dealers. Graffiti artist. Growing up. Kicking ass.
I love these bad-ass grrls.
One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies
Sonya Sones
Teen Novel in Verse
Loss. Family. Celebrity. Wealth. Growth. Love. Change. Acceptance. Fame.
Not what I expected, with a fun surprise ending.
Jennifer Government
Max Berry
Adult Book on Tape
Consumerism/capitalism unchecked. Privatization in extreme. Marketing without scruples. Frighteningly believable.
A wee bit preachy, but with a message worth hearing.
Miss Smithers
Susan Juby
Teen Fiction
Canada. Small town life. Awkward and self-centered misfits. Beauty contests. Identity.
Painful to read, but often hilarious.
Barnum! In Secret Service to the USA
Howard Chaykin
Adult Graphic Novel
Circuses. Freaks. Old West Adventure.
Admittedly outrageous and unbelievable, I thought this was fun.
Who Am I Without Him?
Sharon G. Flake
Teen Short Stories
Dating. African Americans. Teens. Girls. Identity.
Great stories…all very believable and real feeling.
Water Light Time
David Doubilet
Adult Non-Fiction
Photography. Oceans. Animals. Amazement.
Wow! I highly recommend checking this one out…there are some pictures that are completely beyond words.
The Fallen Man
Tony Hillerman
Adult Fiction
Mystery. Native Americans. Rock climbing.
This is the first T.H. mystery I've ever read. My dad gave it to me for vacation reading. I really enjoyed it and probably will pick up more in the future.
The Last Holiday Concert
Andrew Clements
Tween Fiction
Middle school. Chorus. Budget cuts. Creativity.
Like most A.C. books this is great at getting both the perspectives of the kid and adult characters while telling a good story. Thought provoking and magical at points.
What's Michael: The Ideal Cat
Makoto Kobayashi
Adult Graphic Novel
Cats. Japanese culture. Cat owners. Dogs.
I love this series of Japanese manga that examines cats and the people who love them. Very funny and true.
