The Giver of Stars — I enjoyed reading The Giver of Stars and finished it in just a few days. The characters come alive and the plot is very interesting. I honestly didn’t know much about the traveling library program in Kentucky and want to learn more about it now. Books have a way of changing lives and that is the theme of The Giver of Stars.

The Last Girls — The Last Girls is a slow-moving, but interesting, drama. There is no climax to the plot, but more of a coming-of-menopause-age story of four women who knew each other in college.

Loserthink — Loserthink is about seeing what ways we all think about things that just don't make sense or move us forward to better understand an issue. Sometimes it's just a matter of not thinking logically, but other times it's falling easily for a hoax or using a false argument. Loserthink is a good book for everyone to read to become aware of their own weaknesses in how they think about issues, especially during a time when it's hard to trust social media and the news.
