The Summer Job by Lizzy DentI loved that the main character had a wonderful sense of humor even through some dark experiences, and she ended up learning so much about herself and truly falling in love and finding belonging in a group of co-workers she now calls family. 5 stars from Lindsay I.

View from Pagoda Hill by Michaela MaccollI'm so glad I just discovered local author MacColl who spoke at the library in April 2021 for her semi-autographical novel about her great-great grandmother who was bi-racial Chinese American, and I learned a lot about Chinese customs, as well as the racism she faced from both countries. 4 Stars from Amy S

The Investigator by John SandfordJohn Sandford's new, young heroine, the adopted daughter of one of his long-standing characters, is a tenacious and an instinctive crime-fighter, one who I am interested in seeing the evolve in in future books. 4 Stars from Barbara B

Very Funny Ladies by Liza DonnellyI loved the Westport connection of many of the early cartoonists, the history of how each funny lady became a cartoonist, and to quote Donnelly, [cartoonists] are also mirrors of society. One picture can capture the mood of the times. 5 Stars from Amy S
