Erica's Excited

about Gemfire by Robin Lee Hatcher. How would you feel if you were only fifteen years old and your father loses you in a poker game. Well this is exactly what happens to Gem McBride. But the man who wins her, Chase Dupre, is a true gentleman. He takes her to live with his aunt and uncle on their cattle ranch while he goes on a cattle drive. But when he returns Gem is in for one heck of a shock because the man she’s fallen in love with comes home married to an aweful woman who doesn’t love him. Read all about how Gem handles being in love with a married man. This author is a fantastic writer. I just couldn’t put this book down! Located in Large Print (Hat).

Ramona Raves

about Be The Pack Leader by Cesar Millan . While this book is about dog behavioral tools, it is also a fascinating look at human behaviors with dogs. Cesar is known as a dog whisperer and I recommend this book to any dog owner. You may learn some new tricks yourself! Located in Non-fiction (636.70887).

Sharlaine Says

I’ve finally decided to make my own sushi and guess what, it really is that easy. New Sushi by Emi Kazuko is a beautifully illustrated book with easy steps on how to make your favorite sushi. My first attempt at making Maki-Zushi (rolled sushi) was a lot of fun and very yummy to eat. There are plenty of recipes for you to make, so take the plunge and you will be pleasantly surprised. Located in Non-fiction (641.5952).

Susan Selects

The Pyjama Girls Of Lambert Square by Sara Donati for a heartwarming read. For retailer John Dodge, moving homes and fixing up businesses is a way of life, but the small-town of Lamberts Corner opens him up to the realisation that sometimes you don’t need to go far to find home. Fun read with a touch of romance! Located in Fiction (Don).
