1. The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
This is such a lovely novel. The main character is Don Tilliman,
a genetics professor with Asperger’s, and how his very practical approach to
life is altered once he meets a bartender/student named Rosie. A very quick
read with an already promised sequel, you are guaranteed to fall in love
with this story. By far my favorite read so far this year.
2. The Cuckoo's Calling by
"Robert Galbraith" (aka J.K. Rowling)
Fantastic! I love mysteries, and Ms. Rowling creates an exciting plot with rich character personalities as she tells the story of detective Cormoron Strike and his investigation of the death of legendary supermodel Lula Landry. This also has a sequel, The Silkworm, due out in June.

3. The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman
This was our most recent book club
pick. I like books that bring up ethical questions and really force you to
think what you would do in a similar situation. The story begins on Janus Rock,
where an isolated lighthouse keeper Tom and his wife Isabel discover a washed
up boat with a dead man and a living baby. It is a fast paced, enjoyable read
about two good people and the effects of a tragic decision on their lives.
4. The
Engagements by J. Courtney Sullivan
I picked out this book of loosely connected vignettes in honor of Valentine's Day and really enjoyed the stories. This novel intertwines a handful of tales of marriage across the decades and conveys that love definitely does not come in one shape and size. This is a good book to read at your leisure; the novel switches back and forth between the stories and the chapters stand up well on their own.
