Full Throttle
stories by Joe Hill – 496 pages
If you enjoy offbeat creepy stories then you will love this
compilation of stories written by Stephen King’s son Joe Hill. Some are
co-written with his father and the introduction, read by the author in the
audiobook version, is a really interesting look into how Joe grew up and got
into writing as a career.
The Opposite of Everyone by Joshilyn Jackson—352 pages
Joshilyn’s stories are down to earth and entertaining. This
one about a dysfunctional family brings, smiles, heartaches, and even some
tears.
This is the sequel to The
Andromeda Strain. Exposure to an extraterrestrial microbe has devastating
effects. I definitely recommend reading the books in order and Crichton says
there may be more to the series on the way.
Good reads if you like sci-fi and biology tech.

All of Baldacci’s books are filled with action and suspense. This one is no different. King and Maxwell share some experiences as Secret Service agents and team up to find a kidnapper. They run into more than they bargained for and must solve an 8 year old assassination attempt in order to find the current perpetrator. Baldacci doesn’t disappoint if you are looking for a good mystery with lots of action and great characters.

An empty nester picks up her life and tries to incorporate
some of the dreams from her youth. Being an empty nester myself this book hit

myself. J
