Some Fun Reads
Husbands, by Holly Gramazio, is really a fantasy. I mean, how can someone open their attic door and always find a new husband up there each time? Think “Bewitched” with lots of Darrens. And why would somone read this book? Well, Washington Post reviewer Elizabeth Hand, April 5, 2024, writes “There’s something delightfully addictive about Holly Granmazio’s fiction debut…a bottomless champagne flute of a novel (with no hangover.)” This book is the first novel Gramazio has written. She is a video game developer who lives in London.
How to Read a Book, by Monica Wood, is not all fun and games. It is, however, a book that comes highly recommended. Here is what happens–a retired English teacher, a widower, and a twenty-two year old ex-con meet one morning in a book store in Maine. As it turns out, they are all connected. Find out how and experience what People calls ‘An utter gem; funny, sweet and moving.”
The Secret Keeper of Main Street, by Trisha R. Thomas, is a delightful mystery. Remember when all the neighborhood women went to the same hairdresser, and the hairdresser always knew what was going on in their lives–who had gotten a facelift, who had problems with their husband, who was putting their house on the market? Well, in this book, it is a dressmaker who knows it all, but not because people tell her things. She has the gift of insight. While doing a fitting, Bailey Dowery can pin up a dress and ‘read’ her clients at the same time. As the book begins, she finds herself in a serious situation. A man is murdered, and one of her clients is accused of killing him.
