The Staff Give Their Best Reads of 2014 Judy– Dr. Sleep by Stephen King. What happened to Danny Torrence after The Shinning.

Pam P.- The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith/J.K. Rowling. She/he has a new book with

the same character coming out in June.

Heather- To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han (Young Adult). I did not want this

book to end and, when it did, I felt like I was left hanging! I cannot wait for the sequel (P.S. I

Still Love You) to come out next spring! Deb- Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepety. A coming of age story about a girl on the shady streets of

New Orleans who finds love and support in unexpected places.

Ann K.- The Rosie Project by Simsion, Graeme C. A quirky genetics professor surveys women

in the hope of finding a life partner and ends up helping Rosie find her biological father. Lots of

laughs.

Clare- Definitely Not Mr. Darcy by Karen Doornebos. This is a fun and easy summer read. It

combines the historical aspects of a Jane Austin book and the guilty pleasure of reality TV.

Bruce- Light of the World by James Lee Burke

Monica G– The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion (Audio Book) , is a quirky hilarious romance

with a most unusual premise set in Melbourne. You'll want to listen every chance you get!

Nathan-The Serpent of Venice by Christopher Moore. "It's hard to find an author that can make you literally laugh-out-loud; Christopher Moore, to me, is that author."

Natalie– Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. Romance, time travel, history, Scottish Men, who could

ask for more?

Andrea- Waking the Dark by Robin Wasserman.

Ally– The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

Marsella-The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion Monica L– Innocence: a novel by Dean R. Koontz. I have not read a more unexpected and

thoughtful book in many years. A sweet and thought provoking story.

Karen-How the Light Gets In by Louise Penny. Murder, intrigue and great characters set against

the backdrop of Quebec make this book a winner.

Diane-The Tilted World by Tom Franklin. A tale of murder, moonshine, government agents and

an independent woman who finds an unexpected relationship, all which occurs amidst the 1927

historic flooding of the Mississippi River.
