My experience with Jenna’s book picks has been generaly good! I haven’t been able to read all the books from her book club, but it is part of the plan! You know!

These books are great options also for the holidays! Christmas shopping of books is always a pleasure and my fellow bookworms can testify! Give your reader friends books, and I will assure you that they will love them! Also, buying them on sale and going around the printing crisis will give you the chance to shop without stress! So why don’t we dive into this list of almost half price books! And even if they aren’t 50% off, you can still get cheap paperback books!

Valentine by Elizabeth Wetmore

While the town’s men embrace the coming prosperity, its women intimately know and fear the violence that always seems to follow. In the early hours of the morning after Valentine’s Day, fourteen-year-old Gloria Ramirez appears on the front porch of Mary Rose Whitehead’s ranch house, broken and barely alive, after a vicious attack in a nearby oil field. This act of brutality is tried in the churches and barrooms of Odessa before it can reach a court of law. When justice is evasive, the stage is set for a showdown with potentially devastating consequences.
