Donna Recommends
The Scent of Sake
Joyce Lebra
This is a late 19th Century tale of Japanese culture and tradition, and a young woman, Rie, who defies the norm in order to save the family business. As the only child of a large sake brewing house, she longs to succeed her father, but as a female she must operate behind the scene. Her arranged marriage is loveless and her husband is weak and unfit to run the business. A good read about a strong woman.
Molly Recommends
The Lacemakers of Glenmara
Heather Barbieri
The notions and thread needed for sewing are a clever metaphor for the qualities useful in navigating life. So begins the tale of Kate Robinson's travels in Ireland. She befriends new people, learns the value of spontaneity and finds a new way to face the world. Themes of friendship, loyalty, imagination, facing fears and differences combine with engaging characters to make this a delightful story.

Molly Recommends
The Girls with the Dragon Tattoo
Stieg Larsson
I did not want to put this book down! I was hooked right from the start. It is described as "mesmorizing", "unique and fascinating", "exceptional... featuring a cast of indelible sleuths and many juicy suspects". You do get to know these characters, with all their kinks and quirks. Several story lines going on at once -- all wrapped up in the end. I am looking forward to the sequel.

Northwest Animal Babies
Art Wolfe & Andrea Helman
From sea otter pups to grizzly bear cubs, the absolute cutest babies anywhere. A must-have picture book for your Northwest kid.
The Fox Island Cup
Gene Nihart
The Fox Island Cup, is set in historic Gig Harbor, Washington and chronicles the life of a young girl named Sammy as she struggles to overcome doubt and insecurity. In her little sailboat, Sammy can leave all her troubles to the wind. But when her worst enemy challenges her to a junior sailing race, she must face her fears and prove to him, and more importantly to herself, that she can achieve anything she believes in.

Davy's Dream

Robyn Recommends
The Floating Island
Elizabeth Haydon
What a romp on the high seas. A great adventure tale written in a fresh, honest, young voice. Set sail for a rip-roaring time.

Judy Recommends
Walter
The Story of a Rat
Barbara Wersba
This is a heart-warming story of a lonely rat and an even lonelier lady. Walter reads and Miss Pomeroy writes. Eventually these two become friends. This book is a treasure.
