Jane's Favorites

Jane recommends...

In the Woods
Tana French
I lost sleep, missed breakfast, and was nearly late for work reading this book. A finely textured psychological police thriller that lingers long after the final page -- a book you will want your friends to read so you can talk about it!

The Wild Trees
Richard Preston
Filled with passion and wonder, The Wild Trees is a very intimate story about the world's tallest trees and the scientists and naturalists who love them. The trees grab hold of the author, leading him into unexplored realms and we get a front row seat for the journey. This book changed the way I see the redwoods!

A Field Guide to Produce
Aliza Green
Did you know that apricots were cultivated in China 4,000 years ago? Or, that carrots become bitter when stored next to apples? I reach for this wonderful little guide often -- to answer a question, for inspiration, or just to satisfy my curiosity.

Francies & Goodnights
John Collier
If you're a fan of the old Twilight Zone or Alfred Hitchcock Presents, you are in for a treat! John Collier scripted some of the original Alfred Hitchcock TV shows & provided inspiration for the Twilight Zone. I thoroughly enjoyed these creepy, funny, atmospheric tales. Collier is a master!
