Book Club Kit: Becoming

by Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama wrote this autobiography several years ago. With a new title coming out soon, this book may receive new attention. Here is a good resource on that book. It includes information on the story, excellent questions to ponder and an interview with the author. It is a short title but has just what is needed for a (more) thoughtful read.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Random House for this book club kit. All opinions are my own.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd- Deluxe Edition-by Agatha Christie

#TheMurderofRogerAckroydDeluxeEdition #NetGalley

Oh, she was definitely one of the best. No one has written the classic mystery better. Poirot, the detective here, and Jane Marple of St. Mary Mead are enshrined in detective fiction. The ongoing popularity of this “golden age” writer is well deserved. They say that she outsells everything except for the Bible and Shakespeare.

Here, in time for the holidays, is a beautiful gift edition of on of Christie’s popular titles. It remains intriguing with its many suspects, and the detective with his “little grey cells.” Why would someone want to kill Roger? How did they do it? And, who was it? Find out here and discover or rediscover a master at work.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Pushkin Press for this title. All opinions are my own.

A Starlit Trip to the Library

by Andrew Katz; Juliana Léveillé-Trudel

#AStarlitTriptotheLibrary #NetGalley

Julia and her friends are camping out. Now it is time for Julia to read a bedtime story following each friend’s special direction but UH-OH, the book is not in her knapsack. What follows is an adventure with a bear on a raft and a trip to the Starlit Library. Such fun.

This title would make a delightful bedtime story. It is enticingly illustrated and has just the perfect amount of adventure for a story that is read right before going to sleep.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Chouette Publishing for this title. All opinions are my own.
