3. An unexpected book that’s worth its weight

Author Fleur Philips’ novel Crumble – next week’s featured SRC book – was featured on Ope’s Opinions, which had this to say: “It was a lot to take in, but somehow she weaved it all in – it worked. The ending was a unexpected. Four Chairs – I like this book so much I know several friends to share it with.”

5. In your opinion…

We get a lot of great answers to our weekly SRC-themed questions and Annie McDonnell’s answer to this week’s question (At what moment in your life did you realize you were no longer a child?) was one of our favorites.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. A book that will leave you hooked

Caroline Leavitt’s novel Is This Tomorrow was reviewed by  Hanging Off The Wire who had this to say, “I love this book! I love life in suburbia, and this plays it perfectly for the time period. This is a very climatic book. You will be hooked! You will be shocked by the ending! A great read!”
