Jackson’s ‘Castle’ is Captivating
“The perfect book to curl up with on a cold
and dreary day…. This is a must-read book.”

Madness Whispers in ‘A White Room’
“Fans of ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ will love this debut by Carroll because
it’s about a woman feeling her house is
alive…. And that other people are living in it.”

Let’s Blab About ‘Book of Secrets’
“This book has all of the elements of a great
book, including a missing child, a
villainous man, a very sick woman, a nun, and
a young mother.”

Conquering the Classics
“The betrayal by (someone) was so palpable that my
stomach was in knots, and more than once my husband asked me why I
was grinning like an idiot.”

Wonderful Words for ‘World Without
You’
“Anyone who has argued with siblings or felt chastised by in-laws will be able to identify
with this book, whether or not they have lost a close family member. It oozes sincerity without
the cheesiness that often accompanies that
emotion, and it has moved into one of my favorite books of the
year.”

‘Rules of Civility’ is the Cat’s Meow
“Towles managed to capture the theme and
feel of the times without being trapped by the
‘difficult’ writing style. I can’t quite put my finger on what makes this book
so wonderful, but it is definitely worth
reading.”

The Lovable Lucy Ann Lobdell
“What a cool book! I know that’s an odd description for a novel, especially one that
falls into the historical fiction category, but I just can’t
think of a better word. This book is just soooo cool. And incredible. And beautifully
written.”
![Page 11: Top 13 Books of 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55644ce1d8b42a9f128b528b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
‘Starvation Heights’ is Sensational
“All of it is riveting. All of it is sensational. And all of it will leave you with
your mouth hanging open throughout a good
portion of the book. It’s conspiracy at its
finest….”

How American Schools Are
Failing Your Kids
“American students are behind academically and
there are hundreds of theories about why this is. Is it child poverty? Standardized testing? Teachers? Technology?
Sports?”
Ripley searches for the answers and they might
surprise you.

TLC Book Tours: Etched in Sand
“Regardless of whether you’re a man or woman,
into public policy, or experienced with the
foster care system, this book WILL have an
impact on you.”

‘World’s Strongest’ is Spectacular
“Unlike many memoirs, the author doesn’t take
care to make his life seem anything other
than what it is. It isn’t painted with doom and gloom, nor is it glossed over and made into a self-help, optimism
book.”
![Page 15: Top 13 Books of 2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/55644ce1d8b42a9f128b528b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
‘Year of Living Biblically’ is Brilliant
“It is a fantastic birds-eye view of what it is
like to live according to the Bible on a daily
basis without having a pro or anti religious
agenda. There’s nothing political about it (he
avoids those aspects) and Jacob isn’t
attempting to portray anything but his
experiences. In short, it’s brilliant.”
