Hook, Line, And Sinker

by Tessa Bailey

View in Library Catalog

This was a cute, easy beach read and follow up to It Happened One Summer. The central relationship was a little frustrating at times, but I loved the characters (especially Hannah!)

Run for the Hills

by Kevin Wilson

View in Library Catalog

Quirky characters fill this unique story about four half siblings who go in search of their father—who disappeared from each of their individual families to start his life over. Offbeat and funny, sometimes poignant, and entertaining throughout.

The Penderwicks At Point Mouette

by Jeanne Birdsall

View in Library Catalog

Everyone should read it. I really liked how Skye got a chance to be OAP (oldest available Penderwick) and how Roslind had a break

Long Time Gone

by Charlie Donlea

Interesting back and forth with the different time periods. I would look for this author's other offerings.

In Five Years

by Rebecca Serle

View in Library Catalog

In five years was a fast, fabulous, five star read. Any book that makes you appreciate life, friends, and found family is a great book in my opinion. I also enjoyed the book because it was it wasn’t one dimensional. It made me laugh and cry!

Say Everything

by Ione Skye

View in Library Catalog

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

Bride

by Ali Hazelwood

I was so excited to hear Ali released a fantasy-based romance, and it absolutely lived up to my expectations.

Naruto, Vol. 49

by Masashi Kishimoto

View in Library Catalog

It was a decent volume, and I really liked the cool negotiation type of meeting in the gokage summit, and it was really cool when the raikage broke the table and all the escorts just immediately jumped in front of their kage, weapons ready.

Withered Hill

by David Barnett

Wicked and delightful! Excited to read more by this author . The story came full circle and without less ends

The Penderwicks In Spring

by Jeanne Birdsall

View in Library Catalog

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
