"Killers of a Certain Age" by Deanna Raybourn
Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn is about how four retired women assassins scheme, plot and fight for their survival against the very organization that hired and trained them to be killers. This book moved slow for me, but had me interested right from the start. It had a bit of humor but not enough to say it was humorous. It is narrated from the point of view of Billie, one of the old women assassins. The characters seemed shallow. I felt they could have been developed more. I'm glad I stuck with it though because the last few chapters were very good! (Karen's review, 3 stars)

"For the Wolf" by Hannah Whitten (a fantasy debut)
In For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten, Red has one purpose in life: give herself up to the woods and hope the gods will return. I thought this book was pretty good because Red was a good character, had enough action and the ending chapters were very good! There will be a sequel. (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

"The Woman in the Library" by Sulari Gentill
In The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill, there is a scream in the library. Four people sit at a table and talk about it. Three of the four do not realize the murder is sitting at their table with them! I thought this book was very good. I enjoyed the characters and the unusual story line. Although the book started slow, it made up for it as it went along and I didn't figure out who the murderer was until the last page. (Gerard's review, 5 stars)

"Mr. Macky Is Wacky!" by Dan Gutman is about President's Day (Book 15 in My Weird School Series)
Mr. Macky Is Wacky! by Dan Gutman is Book 15 in My Weird School series. It is a funny book about a school celebrating President's Day. I enjoyed this one because it made me laugh. It is actually somewhat informative because teachers and students share facts about some of the presidents. (Karen's review, 4 stars)
