Serial Killers At The Movies: My Intimate Talks with Mass Murders Who Became Stars of the Big Screen by Christopher Berry-Dee

 

  A fascinating exploration of the real life inspiration behind the portrayal of serial killers in the movies.  The reader learns about both well known and less known serial killers. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles

 

 I absolutely adored this book! The staff and patrons of the American Library in Paris became a family through shared hardships during the German occupation. I really liked that how the story jumped back and forth between Odile's life in Paris during WWII and her life in Montana during the early 80s. Odile's close friendship with Margaret in Paris was mirrored in her friendship with Lily in Montana. This book reminds the reader of how the relationships in our lives can help us persevere through hardship.

The Preserve by Ariel S. Winter

 

 I loved that there was a society where humans are the minority and ruled by a robot government. The preserves are areas where humans can live without being governed by robots. I didn't find the crime committed nor the investigation into the identity of the perpetrator very compelling. It was the friendship between Jesse and Kir which really held my interest.

The Project by Courtney Summers

  

What a thrilling read!  At first it seemed like this was a story only about two sisters trying to reconnect after years apart with the Unity Project just being in the background. The Unity Project plays a pivotal role in the book.  The twists were delightfully shocking.  I really enjoyed the ending.
