A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel
by Madeleine L'Engle and Hope Larson
Julie's Comments:
"'A Wrinkle in Time' has always been a favorite of mine since I first read it over 35 years ago. I'm not very enamored of producing existing books as graphic novels -- in my opinion you really can't replace all of those beautiful words with pictures. That having been said, if graphic novels are your cup of tea, this one is very well done. The drawings are simple but interpret the characters beautifully, and the story progresses well, hitting all the high points of the original." (read more)

The Moment of Everything
by Shelly King
Debbi's Comments:
"Great used bookstore in Silicon Valley, crazy cat hiding in the stacks, quirky characters I wanted to meet. King captured the essence of a day in the life of a great bookstore....I laughed, I cried, I did not want it to end. Book geeks, read this one, share it with your friends and hope King keeps writing." (read more)

The World's Largest Man: A Memoir
by Harrison Scott Key
David's Comments:
"Labor Day weekend gave me just the excuse I needed to ignore all responsibilities and read this enormously entertaining memoir straight through....An unexpected pleasure of reading this memoir is the unusually moving way that the author writes of his love for his parents and his wife and children. Key has an incredible gift for hilarity and compassion in surprising proximity. I can't recommend this volume highly enough." (read more)

The New and Improved Romie Futch
by Julia Elliott
Jen's Comments:
"Hilarious and entertaining. Just the right combo of self effacement and snarkiness to make fun of the contemporary 40-something demographic. Loved the sarcastic truisms about dealing with the modern world of genetic modification and social media. I found some of the story a bit odd, but her acerbic writing style was so clever. I LOLed several times!!!" (read more)
