Girl in the Road – Adam |

The Nature of the Beast One of Penny’s best so far: tense, riveting, with the sense of untold horrors being brought to light. |

Mrs. McGinty’s Dead Hugh Fraser played Hastings opposite David Suchet’s Poirot in the Poirot TV series, and, although Poirot did not take his bumbling sidekick along on this particular adventure, Fraser still manages to perfectly capture the tone and atmosphere of Christie’s early 1900s England. – Joyce |

Gone with the Wind An oldie but goodie. I’m not much into historical fiction generally, but this one kept me very interested all the way through almost a thousand pages, and I have never left a book feeling like I knew a character as well as I felt about Scarlett. |

Defending Jacob A very good crime thriller mystery. Makes for a great book club read with an unexpected ending! |

We’ve Got a Job: The 1963 Birmingham Children’s March This wonderfully enlightening story details the passion and determination of 4,000 school-aged African-American students in May 1963 who sought to change the path and mindset of those holding the keys to historically segregated schools in Birmingham, AL., one of the most racially charged, divided, and violent cities in America. The students’ conviction to draw attention to their plight by marching to jail, and subsequently being arrested, offers an incredible view into the continued African American struggle for a better life in America, –nearly a century after the end of slavery. I recommend this book to anyone who has been educated in America. |

Words Without Music: A Memoir by Philip GlassEven if you don’t listen to Philip Glass (which I don’t really), this is an inspiring memoir. – Regan |

Autism as Context Blindness by Peter Vermeulen – Yeng |

January First: I found this book so fascinating that after I listened to it, I went and got the physical book so I could read parts over and over again. It’s a scintillating story about a scared dad and an incredible girl and a brave family. It’s definitely a must-read for anyone remotely interested in mental health. |

Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson– Adam |
 |
Hunter x Hunter A rather ancient series at this point that’s still ongoing, saved from occasional periods of sloppiness by Togashi’s trademark mixture of quirky humor and unexpected plot twists. I finally managed to catch up from where I left off 10(!!) years ago, and now I’m annoyed all over again at the series’ frequent hiatuses. |

Eggs by Jerry Spinelli Such an honest, genuine book that started off a little slow but then gets better and better as it goes on. |
 |
Science Fair Literally laugh-out-loud funny, as most Dave Barry books are. |

Better to Wish One of my favorite authors, the first and best in a short, recent series. |

A friend described this movie as “smart people solving problems!” It doesn’t have too many high-intensity edge-of-your-seat moments, but there’s another kind of pleasure in being able to sit back and relax while watching the ingenuity of astronauts at work. A surprisingly funny and lighthearted look at being stranded alone on an alien planet. |
