Title/Author The Other Typist, Suzanne Rindell  
A very well-written, unconventional thriller. Interesting characters, interesting plot twists, and an ending that leaves you a bit uncertain as to what really happened!

Title/Author On the Beach, Nevil Shute
This book takes place in Australia after a nuclear war occurred in the northern hemisphere. The radiation is slowly making its way down to Melbourne, and people are waiting for the end. A quick read with great character development and a plot that makes you think.

Title/Author Corrupted – Lisa Scottoline

It had been a while since I’ve read a Rosato/DiNunzio book and it was wonderful to catch up with the characters. Ms. Scottoline is on top of her game with her details about courtroom proceedings. I enjoy how she takes the readers through the cases and the intricacies that are involved in these trials. It was interesting to see the twists and turns in the novel and to learn that Ms. Rosato has a love interest outside of the office. I have another Scottoline novel waiting to be read and am looking forward to another good read.

Title/Author
Sara and Eleanor / Ian Pottker

I enjoyed this book quite a bit considering that my first choice is usually a fiction book. It was interesting to learn about the Roosevelt family and their unique personalities. I was surprised to learn that Sara and Eleanor both took on many causes involving women’s issues. It was eye opening to find out that they were wealthier than I knew and that they had a number of homes. I liked learning about the relationship between Sara, Franklin and Eleanor. The beginning of the book is a little slow but it is well worth continuing the read.

Title/Author
Gabby /. Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly

The book tells the story of Gabrielle and Mark and primarily the aftermath of the tragic shooting in Tucson. The story did share some of both of their backgrounds along with the struggles both endured navigating their way through the long rehabilitation process. The book was a reminder of how quickly one’s reality can change in an instant. It was a great book.
