The Peach Keeper

The Peach Keeper

by Sarah Addison Allen

Welcome to Wall of Waters, North Carolina, a small town with many secrets.  The town coffee shop owner, Willa Jackson, has learned that an old classmate, Paxton Osgood, is restoring Willa's old family home, the Blue Ridge Madam to its former glory with plans to turn it into an inn.  A skeleton is found buried beneath the lone peach tree on the property.  Willa and Paxton must work together to try solve the mystery of the skeleton.

This book is about the power of friendship, love and traditions, with a little bit of magic, and mystery thrown in. I was drawn into the story from the very beginning, it was a fun, quick book to read, although I felt the author could have explained the magic a little better.

You can find The Peach Keeper in the adult fiction section of the library.

Bubonic Panic

Bubonic Panic by Gail Jarrow

This is a non-fiction account of the plague, mostly focusing on the outbreaks that happened in California in the early 1900s.

This book was so delightful to read! I learned a lot about the plague and all the facts were so well incorporated that I felt like I was reading a novel.

I wish there were more details about the early plague, though it was clear from the start that that wasn't going to be the focus.

This is a a book I would recommend!

Extraordinary Means

Extraordinary Means by Robyn Schneider

     Lane lived a pretty predictable life, until he finds himself at Latham House, a sanatorium for an untreatable strain of tuberculosis. he finds a insular world full of paradoxical rules, med sensors, and a girl named Sadie that becomes his utterly compelling, confidant, friend. And his life will never be the same
     Loved that the whole untreatable tuberculosis was completely made up. there is no such thing as total drug resistant tuberculosis. The story was about living your life while you still have time to. It can relate to so many people.
     This was an amazing story and I would definitely recommend it.
