The Way I Used To Be
by Amber Smith
View in Library Catalog
book cover


The Way I Used To Be was heartbreaking. The plot, characters, and what eventually happens broke me. The main character, Eden was once a spirited young girl until Kevin, her brother's best friend really r her. This is a story that should be shared throughout. The message is clearly worthy. For Eden, that pushed down trauma only hurt her more. She runs away from herself and all she's ever known - her family, friends, home. Her high schools years abruptly shift, until it's too unbearable. It frustrated me because of her silence. She never told anyone. I know that this book taught me a lot.
Meet Me In Monaco

I enjoyed this book - I loved putting together the sights and scents in my head and feel I could smell them. I enjoyed how she incorporated Grace Kelly with a beautiful store of a local parfumerie. I will say I was surprised by some turn of events before the passing of Grace Kelly, but it was a nice story

slow start, major finish! i totally saw some of the twists coming, but others took me completely by surprise. i have a difficult time with anything time travel-related, so i wish the chapters came with date stamps ?? overall a good read with unique characters and a very unique premise! would recommend!
The last mandarin

This book was a joint venture between Louise penny and Mellissa Fung. It was okay but definitely had some problems. It was not cohesive and was at times confusing. I would not recommend this book. Louise Penny writes better on her own. I finished it just to finish it but I am still not sure what really went on.

I enjoyed reading this. So far I have read all 15 other books in this series and this one was good. Not my favorite but I liked it and I hope that there is another one after this one.
These Summer Storms

book cover


I won't give anything away, but I couldn't put this book down. It's part family drama, part love story, part twisted inheritance game. All set during a single week on the private island residence of the Storm family, in Narragansett Bay, RI. This family has massive amounts of baggage, and secrets, and drama. Great vacation read.
Not in Love

If I could rate this book zero stars I would. It has the stereotypical romance plot and I didn’t like either Rue or Eli. There were past characters from her other books mentioned in this but I would rather read one of those than this one. This is my second book of hers and it wasn’t for me.

This book is really interesting. It is about a boy who ran away from home to live in the woods and how he survives.

What You Are Looking For Is In The Library

4.5 What a beautiful story. I really enjoyed this book and its surprises (I don’t like to give spoilers). The Community House is a surprising place and the librarian, as all librarians are, is magical. I can relate in some way to each story and each one touched my heart. Life’s simple things and what we can do if we think a little differently about our selves and situations. And try new things. And how we interpret stories differently. Libraries are always comforting to me. Sayuri Komachi is a wonderful librarian - she knows what people need. Open up and value ourselves a little more.
