The Passage By Justin Cronin
A truly spooky thriller that comes at the vampire myth from a completely different angle, The Passage has been making headlines across the United States and is now doing the same here. Something is coming and it will bring together six-year-old Amy Harper Bellafonte, abandoned in a convent by her troubled mother, to death row prisoner Anthony Carter and FBI agent Brad Wolgast. A page turner that will keep you up to the wee hours.
Room By Emma Donoghue
Room is the story of a woman and her child who are being kept imprisoned in a locked room measuring just 12 feet by 12 feet. The 5-year-old child, Jack, has never seen the outside world but the incredible love of his mother makes what is basically a small cage feel like a complete world unto itself. Until something happens that tears their tiny, insulated world apart. Already causing a great deal of discussion, Room is one of those incredible uplifting novels that leave you with both goosebumps and a strong desire to share this story with your friends and family. Highly recommended – particularly for reading groups.
Sizzling Sixteen By Janet Evanovich
You can’t go past Janet Evanovich if you want a rollicking great read. Bounty hunter and general klutz Stephanie Plum is back, and she’s got the whole, hysterical crew with her, from Grandma to Lulu and Connie. These days, Steph is dividing her time more or less equally between Ranger and Morelli – except for when she’s being hunted down herself by homicidal maniacs. A series that is still as fun at book sixteen as it was at book one, Sizzling Sixteen is perfect to curl up with this winter.
