The Natural World by David Murphy ~ a Review

by Donna Huber


For lovers of Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, and John Keats comes a poetry book about the beauty of nature and people. The Natural World focuses on euphony, imagery, and form. Among those forms are free verse, blank verse, the sestina, sonnet, villanelle, ode, and rondeau. This slim volume is one to luxuriate with by a fire on a winter's night, to read time and again, and to draw you from routine. (Goodreads)

Meddling with Mistletoe by Liz Johnson ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts
 

Meddling with Mistletoe
is a cute Christian Christmas romance.  It has all of the pieces that make it a good romance - the main female character is a failure in her own eyes with plans to go to culinary school if she can just find the money, and the main male character is a serious career person who has been hurt by a girlfriend in the past and isn't interested in romance.  Add in a meddling aunt, a cute little girl, and a Christmas pageant and you can't go wrong.

Society of Lies by Lauren Ling Brown ~ a Review

by MK French


Maya was looking forward to her reunion at Princeton, especially because her little sister Naomi is graduating. When police say Naomi died in an accident, she suspects there's more to it. As she pieces together the months leading up to Naomi's death, she sees how much Naomi hid from her. Foremost is the fact that Naomi joined the exclusive Sterling Club as Maya had years ago, and had likely been tapped for the secret society within it. She fears that following in her footsteps got Naomi killed and that her secrets won't stay hidden.
