Weekend Pick for October 25, 2024
I would like to thank Katherine Higgs-Coulthard and her students, Emma Olsick and Hannah Mortensen for the October Weekend Picks! I appreciate your book suggestions, but more so your generosity and time commitment to these blog posts.
 Hannah Mortensen | Hannah Mortensen is a senior elementary education student at Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame. She grew up with a passion for reading, often devouring two to three books a week. In high school, the busyness got in the way of reading and she quickly fell into a reading slump. As a sophomore at Saint Mary’s, Hannah and her friends started a book club, the SMC Bookworms, as a way to continue reading for fun. Since the foundation of the club, membership has grown from five to over seventy. |
| Alice Lawrence loves watching horror movies…not living in them. When her sister and friends drag her to a Halloween party, Alice’s life is forever changed. She becomes the only witness to her sister's murder. On the day of Alice’s testimony, she is taken back in time to the night that replays itself in her nightmares every night since that fateful event. Now, Alice has the chance to change history and save her sister. As she races against the clock, will Alice be able to save her sister and others from the killer? |  |
 Danielle Valentine | Author Danielle Valentine keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Just when you thought you knew what would happen, you realize you don’t. Capturing the audience isn’t the only thing Valentine does well, integrating discussion of stereotyping and inclusion is prominent in the writing. Valentine also connects a variety of movie references relating the character to the reader. How to Survive Your Murder is the perfect book to curl up with by the fireplace. If you are looking for the not-so-spooky you’ll have nightmares but still keeps you on your toes book, add this to your list! |
Stay safe and come back next week for more reading suggestions!
