This had a twist I was not expecting at all! I loved how this deviated a bit from Sager’s normal vibe.

I love the main character and the whole romance aspect. Great queer representation. Felt ending was slightly lacking but still loved the journey. Loved the magic, the humor, everything. Hard to put down.

The Penderwicks In Spring

by Jeanne Birdsall

I love how Jeanne Birdsall makes very exciting twists and I also love how she makes the characters grow up it not all at once. She is an amazing author and I think everyone should red her first novel the Penderwick

Diavola

by Jennifer Thorne

Twisted and fun. Inspires wine drinking and painting . The ending was a little dull and I kind of wish the “rot” that took over the family was more detailed, for a horror novel I wanted a little more darkness

Middle of the Night

by Riley Sager

View in Library Catalog

This book was not what I was expecting but I did enjoy reading it.I liked how the viewpoint shifted from past and present and how it has time stamps at the top of the past chapters. I really loved Henry in the book too. I think I like this more than his previous books.

I read this all by myself

The four winds

by Kristin Hannah

View in Library Catalog

This book will tear your heart out and stomp on it. The author captures the experience of motherhood perfectly. Relevant today because of its depiction of historical events and its representation of the way people treat outsiders.

by Amber McBride

What a fantastic anthology of Black poetry that spans centuries! This book changed the way I thought and had a lot of wisdom, insight, and emotional moments. I quite enjoyed it!
