Book Review - Response by Paul Volponi

Noah and his two friends went to Hillsboro to steal a car. They do not do it, but while they are leaving Hillsboro they are attacked by three guys. Noah is beat with an aluminum bat and has to have surgery. Noah is black and the three guys from Hillsboro are white. What is the community’s response to this hate crime? How does Noah move on? How does the justice system respond? Find out by reading Response by Paul Volponi.

This was a fast paced story that explored how a victim responds and survives an attack. Noah knows that he shouldn’t have been in Hillsboro to steal a car – but that doesn’t warrant what happened to him. Does he start to hate people on sight? This was an great thought-provoking book.

Book Review - Envy: A Luxe Novel by Anna Godbersen

This is the third title in the popular Luxe series, and like the first two books, it absolutely ROCKS. Envy follows the lives of the two Holland sisters -- Elizabeth, still reeling from the death of her true love, Will Keller, and Diana, whose secret affair with high society bad boy has lead to his marriage to the beautiful and cunning Penelope Hayes. Former Holland housemaid disguised as a wealthy heiress, Carolina Broad, is still soaking up the attention of her doting and extremely rich benefactor. All the girls find themselves in luxurious Palm Beach, Florida, taking a much needed break from the harsh New York winter. The trip results in a number of life changing events for the girls and their lives, loves, and families may never be the same. Set in 1900, this book has tons of glitz, glamor and romance to keep you reading reading reading! Don't worry, a fourth book is in the works, and I for one, can't wait!
