Mrs. Deering's Reading List

Shattering Glass

Novel about a high school boy who is convinced by a friend to help the most unpopular boy in school become the "Class Favorite."  Looks like someone will end up dead and someone else will end up in jail. 

Devil in the White City

Non-fiction book about the Chicago World's Fair and the serial killer who used the fair to mask his violent murders. 

Crispin

Fictional piece set in the middle ages about a boy is discovering he is not a commoner but actually heir to a fortune.

Flipped

Is there truly a soul mate for you and can you fall in love with him at the age of 7?  A fun read, that turns deep as it asks the question of what true love is really about and can a person change. 

Bel Canto

A very different book for me... rich opera lovers kidnapped by terrorists create their own garden of Eden where the terrorists and hostages become a tightly knit group.  Still not sure if I actually liked the book!

The Husband

Dean Koontz has written a suspense novel that does not include the supernatural but does explore man's passions and drives.  This is one that you cannot put down.
