Week of November 6

Lock Every Door by Riley Sager  

No visitors. No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both. These are the only rules for Jules Larsen's new job as an apartment sitter at the Bartholomew, one of Manhattan's most high-profile and mysterious buildings.

I like this book but it was a little slow to get off to a start. I have heard a lot of good things about this author and I will try another title or two so all in all I can recommend this book.
400 pages


Welcome to the Pine Away Motel by Katarina Bivald 

A charming tale of the folks who reunite at a ramshackle roadside motel in Pine Creek, Oregon, after the unfortunate death of Henny, a local who worked at the cabins all her life, and who isn't going to let a tiny thing like death stop her from living fully — not when her friends and her little town need her the most.

This book totally crashed midway through the book. I was really intrigued at first but instead of sticking with the “ghost” story it gets into political and social issues and focuses on that instead of the original plotline. I didn’t finish it. L

Well Met by Jen DeLuca 

Emily knew there would be strings attached when she relocated to the small town of Willow Creek, Maryland, for the summer to help her sister recover from an accident, but who could anticipate getting roped into volunteering for the local Renaissance Faire alongside her teenaged niece? Or that the irritating and inscrutable schoolteacher in charge of the volunteers would be so annoying that she finds it impossible to stop thinking about him?

This was a fun read. There are some serious points in this book but the most fun comes into play when the studious teacher plays the part of an unscrupulous pirate during the faire. Which personality traits are actually the real ones?

The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell 

Soon after her twenty-fifth birthday, Libby Jones returns home from work to find the letter she’s been waiting for her entire life. She rips it open with one driving thought: I am finally going to know who I am.

This book has a lot of unexpected turns in it. I highly recommend it to those who like a suspenseful mystery.
