 I've read The Turn of the Screw several times but I had forgotten the gripping and surprising ending to this classic ghost story. We read this with our student book club and some liked it some didn't even finish it. The psychological thriller part of it made some of them suffer through the slowish beginning but in the end it begs to be talked about with friends!

 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is an enjoyable classic read that made me want to pick it up at night and spend time exploring the ocean along side Captain Nemo and Aronnax. It was just enough realism with just enough science fiction to entertain and entice me to flip the page. I will highly recommend this with Moby Dick, another classic that is well worth the read.
 One of our classic book club choices, In Cold Blood is a riveting read. It lives up to the title and is terrifyingly real. Capote writes a unique type of journalistic novel that entwines the fact with a personalized retelling of a horrific crime that amounted to the senseless murder of a family. It is awful and unspeakable but Capote gives many people connected to the crime a voice in telling who the Clutters were, who the murders were, and how the murder shook the townspeople and the nation.
A good cozy mystery a little on the edgier side, Death by Coffee is the first in A Bookstore Cafe Mystery series. I met the author at Cincinnati's Books By the Banks and I look forward to reading the next 2 in the series. I love the small town bookstore coffee cafe setting and meeting the townspeople.
