Jujutsu Kaisen 0

This was a great manga. The main character, Yuta Okkotsu experiences a new school of sorcery and fights intense battles. The book is very well written and deserves more hype. The movie is great as well.

Burner

If you're looking for nonstop action, then this is the book for you! I love CIA/FBI thrillers, and this new character for me, the Gray Man, was terrific. The story of an off-the-books hero, intervening to get information into the hands of the right people before a political debacle was just what I needed for a "light" summer book. If you like books like Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn or Brad Thor, this will be a good choice. Lots of action between the good guys and the baddies. Women heroes in it, too. And villains!!

I liked the plot of it but it had very technical writing about how volcanos worked and so I didn’t understand a lot of what was happening. I enjoyed it but found it to be a dense read.

book cover


I read this book as an adult, in preparation for giving it to our nephew at Christmastime. I wanted to make sure that the book would be well-suited to him, and also was eager to refresh and deepen my own basic chess skills. I found the writing to be clear and approachable. The sections and chapters of the book are thoughtfully structured and well organized. Illustrative examples and opportunities for practice and application of concepts and skills are interspersed throughout the book in a timely and helpful manner. The author provides a list of resources for further learning and practice as well. I highly recommend this book as a great starting point or refresher for children and adults who wish to play chess!

One Of Us Is Lying

I don’t usually like many books that are based off of movies but I had to give this one a try because it was based off of one of my all time favorite 80s movies The Breakfast Club and it lived up to the hype. It kept me reading for hours with all of the plot twists and diverse characters. All of the characters are written in depth and it leaves you wanting to know more. I will definitely be checking out the next book in the series!

You Are Your Own Fairy Tale

I’m a HUGE Amanda Lovelace fan, so I came in with big expectations and was not disappointed. So great! Collection of 3 Fairytale inspired books in one. Not sure what the final one is inspired by but still great! I read Flower Crowns and Fearsome things right before this and it was lacking, so this restored my confidence in her works. Great read!

I fell in love with the characters of this book. I could not put it down and finished it in less than a week. I immediately wanted to start the next book of the series.

30 Things I Love About Myself
by Radhika Sanghani

book cover


While the book had the main character gaining great benefits from meditation, astrology readings, and yoga, none of which are my thing, the story included these things in a humorous way which made the book enjoyable. It’s the story of a year in the life of a 30 year old woman who, as the title suggests, finds 30 things she likes about herself. I really enjoyed the book.
