Book Review by Dinh.
Review:
This is the first book that I have read by Chris Bohjalian and I am glad that I read The Flight Attendant as an introduction to this author.
I missed my local library book club reading for this book recently and I am glad I read this for our book club.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. What a great way to start the year by reading a suspenseful thriller!

Book review by Dinh.
Review:
I was very excited to read The Clockmaker’s Daughter by Kate Morton for our monthly read. I haven’t read any of her books before and was keen to discover a new author to love.
From the book jacket’s description it seemed like a read I would totally love- one with ghosts, murder and mystery.

Review:
I headed into The Farm by Joanne Ramos not knowing anything about it except what the book jacket said, and was surprised by how good it was!
I didn’t have any expectations and read it with an open mind and perhaps that’s why I enjoyed this book immensely.
