Book Review: Room

Emma Donoghue

Told by 5-year-old Jack. Room is his whole world. His mom is protecting him from Old Nick. Then, one day, she decides to escape... Great story of a mother/child bond! 4 of 5 stars from me!

Book Review: The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Neil Gaiman

When a man returns to his childhood home for a funeral, he begins to remember all the strange and scary things that happened to him as a child. A frightening nanny, monsters, and his changing parents cause the boy to look for help in a strange place: three women who live in a nearby old farmhouse.

Book Review: Me Before You

JoJo Moyes

Not a typical romance. Louisa takes a job working for Will–he's grumpy and bossy and she "refuses to treat him with kid gloves."

"...a heartbreakingly romantic story that asks, 'What do you do when making the person you love happy means breaking your own heart?"

A good read! Tear-jerker!
