Check These Out: February 9, 2017

By Dorathy Bobzin

For several hours a week, I work at the Huntley Library re-shelving items. During this process, opportunity presents itself for me to peruse materials Iā€™d not see while looking on my own. Very often I say to myself, oh, that looks interesting … and then I keep it or jot down the info. Iā€™ll share some with you that pique my interest.

The Woman in the Photo
by Mary Hogan

This title made me think of my brotherā€™s dining room table spread full with 50 yearsā€™ worth of family pictures. He, too, wonders about some unidentified people as does a character in this novel. At 18, a contemporary young woman (an adoptee) found some genetic information about her biological family plus an old photograph. By flipping through the book, I see the Johnstown Flood of 1889 is involved somehow.

Truly, Madly, Guilty
by Liane Moriarty
FIC MOR

Some book club must have recently discussed this 2016 novel because I saw multiple copies on the check-in cart. One of the ten best stories Iā€™ve ever read [The Husbandā€™s Secret] is by this Australian author, so I grabbed one book for myself simply on the strength of her name. Canā€™t wait to get started.

Dinner for Two

Iā€™m still working on my new yearā€™s resolution from last year to cook/entertain more. Planning for month number two of 2017, I found this collection of 1-page recipes, each with a full color picture opposite. Tex-Mex Migas caught my eye since I never heard the word but love all the ingredients. Check out the picture of ham & gruyere stuffed French toast on Page 131. OMG.

Grief is a Journey
by Dr. Kenneth Doka

I guess most of us know that by now, but weā€™re also aware thereā€™s no one-size-fits-all path and, on top of that, such a journey is never actually finished. An entire section of this 2016 publication covers ā€œdisenfranchised griefā€ which might include such non-fatal losses as divorce, infertility, even the end of a friendship. I like the title of the very last chapter: Growing In and Through Grief; it suggests a positive outcome.
