On Our BookshelfWhat we're readingThe Runaway JuryJohn GrishamI have been immersed in non-fiction reading and I needed togive my brain and imagination a chance to do somerecreational reading! My go to for enjoyable, recreationalreading has always been John Grisham. I love his writing,the pace of the storytelling is always just right and I find hissubtle humour to be very engaging.And so I settled on one I had read so long ago I hadforgotten most of what happened.The Runaway Jury explores the theme of jury corruption during a high-profile tobaccotrial. In a small town in Mississippi, Celeste Wood, widow of a lifelong smoker, is suing atobacco company for his premature death at age fifty-three. Thoroughly enjoyed thelegal drama and the thrills of a high profile case.The McKinsey WayEthan M. RasielThis is on my list of professional development books toread. I have not yet finished this book, but I am soimpressed with the level on insight provided into theManagement Consulting industry.McKinsey has always been considered one of the pioneersof this industry and having a book written by ex-McKinsey isa delight.B U I L D I D E A S | 2 6

Here's what they're reading and enjoying...My Weird SchoolDan GutmanThis series of hilarious chapter books is one of myyoungest daughter's favourite reads. If she is looking forsomething to do she will happily revisit the books in thisseries, even though she's already read them a hundredtimes! The stories are very relatable for young kids andquite funny. There is a My Weirder School and My WeirdestSchool series as well. Recommended for kids 7-9yearsCode Name BananasDavid WalliamsDavid Walliams is one of the bestselling children's bookauthors globally. He has a witty and fun style of writing. Mydaughter lapped this book up in no time (despite it's ratherintimidating page quantity!)Set in World War II, this book follows the adventures of alittle boy and his friend Gertrude (the Gorilla). It is a hoot,recommended for kids 8-13 yearsNancy Drew FilesCarolyn KeeneVery retro, but my eldest daughter is loving the NancyDrew files series. She finds the mysteries more edgy thanthe Nancy Drew Case books. The mysteries do involvemurders and kidnappings, but the content is not graphic orviolent. Recommended 14+B U I L D I D E A S | 2 7
