Share bang for your buck plant choices and money saving ideas

May 20 - Say nice things about Detroit / Scott Lasser. ( (20 (
2012
A native of Detroit, Lasser (The Year That Follows) guarantees readers a tour of the city with all its failings. David Halpert thought he'd left all that behind when he fled the city after high school for a brighter future. However, the death of a son, a divorce, an ill mother, and the strange murders of an old girlfriend, Natalie, and her black half-brother lure David home. To his surprise, he finds himself striking up new relationships with old friends, his father, and the city itself. VERDICT Second chances, though always welcome, are not necessarily delivered in recognizable packages. One can go home again, but it's a lot of work. Readers will savor this fast-paced tale of redemption in one sitting. Actor Steve Carell has optioned the book.

June 17 - The train of small mercies / David Rowell. (2011)
Set in June 1968, Rowell's first novel revolves around the solemn train journey that brought the body of slain Sen. Robert Kennedy from Penn Station to Washington, D.C., for burial. Of the many people who gathered along the way to watch the train pass (famously captured by photographer Paul Fusco), Rowell focuses on six stories. Following long tradition and in his father's footsteps, Lionel Chase reports for his first day's work as a Pullman porter on the funeral train itself; Irish nanny Maeve McDerdon has come to D.C. to interview for a position with Ethel Kennedy, and with the loss of that opportunity finds herself adrift; Delores King is determined to see the train pass, but to do so she must deceive Arch, her disapproving husband; their son, fifth-grader Michael Colvert, is coping with a private trauma of his own; while veteran Jamie West, who recently returned from Vietnam minus a leg, waits for a newspaper reporter who will write a story that may help Jamie heal, or add insult to injury. Though Rowell is a respected journalist, he has a novelist's eye for the crucial, telling detail. In clean, elegant prose he recreates the lives of individuals mired in one of the most turbulent years of the century (Publishers Weekly, October 2012)
