"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

PATRON PICKS--THE LIAR

Jill's pick was The Liar, by Nora Roberts

About the book: 
Shelby Foxworth lost her husband.  Then she lost her illusions...
The man who took her from Tennessee to an exclusive Philadelphia suburb left her in crippling debt.  He was an adulterer and a liar, and when Shelby tracks down his safe-deposit box, she finds multiple IDs.  The man she loved wasn't just dead.  he never really existed.
Shelby takes her three-year-old daughter and heads south to seek comfort in her hometown, where she meets someone new: Griff Lott, a successful contractor.  But her husband had secrets she has yet to discover.  Even in this small town, surrounded by loved ones, danger is closer than she knows--and threatens Griff, as well.  And an attempted murder is only the beginning... (From Amazon)

Jill says:  Good characters who get the reader involved in the story.  Also, a lot of suspense, so the book was hard to put down.

PATRON PICKS--THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY (DVD)

Kassie's pick was The Hundred-Foot Journey (DVD).

The Kadam family leaves India for France where they open a restaurant directly across the road from Madame Mallory's Michelin-starred eatery.

Kassie says:  Pure escape!  Well-balanced reality, humor,
fantasy kept crisp by the impeccable Helen Mirren.
