This was not my favorite book because I’m not really interested in planets.

Struck me as too Sex and the City/ Real Housewives superficial treatment of superficiality. Didn’t care enough about any of the characters for any of the tragedies in the plot to hit as such. Was surprised to be this disappointed.

Light and easy. Not my favorite in the series, but you can’t go wrong with the laundry club ladies. Always entertaining and cute!

Loki: Agent Of Asgard - The Complete Collection

Wow. This book was amazing. Loki is my favorite Marvel character and the artists and writers did him well. The series covers topics of identity, being yourself, and one’s place in the universe. Some really deep stuff. I love the casual representation in the series of different identities and I love that they stayed true to Loki’s fluid nature. The ending is a bit filled of unknowns, but I’m sure that’s the way Loki likes it. Overall great book! I don’t usually read graphic novels but I’m glad I read this one.

Harlem, 2019. Oliver shares a crumbling love letter with his fiancé Ardelia. Natchez, 1865. Harrison has been discharged from the Union army and has returned to Mississippi to search for his love, Tizrah. Meanwhile, in Louisiana, newly free Tizrah yearns for Harrison. What follows is a story of star-crossed lovers, with a story that spans 150 years. The choices made by Tizrah and Harrison reverberate across following generations, keeping some people together and others apart. It's a love story, thoroughly researched historical fiction, and a bit of a mystery as well, as Oliver and Ardelia try to answer the questions raised by the letter. Beautifully written, raw and poignant, complicated and powerful. A very good book.

I definitely recommend Say Everything to every elder millennial and GenX-er! So much gossip about all the cool kids of the 80s & 90s.

Mentally stimulating poems. I wish there was an audiobook version read by the author. I loved his self narrated book something in the woods loves you. My favorite poem from this collection was “orcas”

Finished, and it was not bad but the main characters didn’t feel real or well developed. Not the big ending to the series I was expecting.

What Kind Of Paradise
by Janelle Brown
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Set in the mid-1990s, this novel felt both of its time period and timely for today: then, the early popularilty of the Internet, and today's similar feeling around AI. Jane grew up in an isolated, off-the-grid cabin in Montana with her father. She knows little of the outside world, just that her mother died in a car crash and they used to live in the California Bay Area. But as she gets older she wants to know more, and she starts to question her dad's teachings and ever-more-disturbing actions. Technology vs. nature; isolation vs. society; innocence vs. knowledge — this book is suspenseful, poignant, and a great read.
