What I
heard or deduced: Customer wants a compelling story, wants a book where she can
connect to reader, interested in characters who share thoughts and feelings,
needs a book group book where there is lots to discuss.
Recommendation:
“The Secret Life of Bees” by Sue Monk Kidd is driven by a girl’s search for
knowledge of her past (and her mother) as well as by the relationships between
the women in the story (the beekeepers). This book features strong female
characters with complex relationships during a very complex time period.

What I
heard or deduced: Customer is looking for a fast- paced, mature vampire book
without the teen romance element.
Recommendation:
“The Shambling Guide to New York City” by Mur Lafferty is a fast and funny read
about a smart and inventive human, Zoe, working as a travel book editor for the
undead. This is a refreshing addition to the supernatural book world of
vampires and monsters.

book.
Recommendation:
“Into Thin Air” by John Krakauer is the true story of the 1996 disaster on
Mount Everest ultimately claiming many lives and changing the way we think
about mountain climbing and specifically Mount Everest. It is an exciting,
terrifying and eye-opening adventure story you simply can’t put down.
