How Not To Drown In A Glass Of Water
by Angie Cruz
View in Library Catalog
book cover


It was a different type of a book. I listened to it rather than reading it. I am not sure I like Cara. She doesn’t seem to self reflect about how she treated her son and what she did to him like as mothering him too much and throwing an iron at him. She doesn’t seem to really look at her own weaknesses.

Birding with Benefits
by Sarah T. Dubb

book cover


This is S.T. Dubbs debut novel that takes place in Tucson, AZ where the author actually resides. I really wanted to like this book and placed it on hold because I, too, love birding. There was a very simple plot of an avid birder, John Maguire, who enters a birding contest but his partner drops out at the last minute and asks an acquaintance to step in. Enter Celeste who knows nothing about birds. The rest of the book is a basic boy meets girl, and they fall in love with no twists or surprises. John and Celeste are in their 40's and the sex scenes, sexting, etc. were a bit much and not believable, and I am no prude. But it is called Birding with Benefits...!

I enjoy Riley savers writing style, so I always enjoy his books. Usually I prefer his books with more shocking twist and speechless endings, but this book didn’t give me it.

I got to meet the author of the Penderwick series and I got to ask questions like do you speak Latin because there was Latin in the Penderwicks? She said it was fun the add different languages into it but she doesn’t speak Latin. It was so cool to meet my favorite author in the world everyone should read her books and she has a new book The Library of Unruly Treasures

The Big Door Prize

As a scientist, how could I not want to read a book about a booth owned by a company called DNAMix that uses a cheek swab and DNA to tell you what your ideal job/potential should be? This book has become an Apple TV plus series, and it contains a series of dramatic stories in a small town in Louisiana that have been somewhat changed by the readouts from the booth. The main stories follow Doug and Cherylee Hubbard as well as Jacob and Hank Richieu. The endings were not surprising except for the booth being a scam by one of the characters. I am on the fence on whether I liked the book, but I am intrigued with the author's style of writing enough to want to read his bestseller, My Sunshine Away.

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

The fallen angel

Another typical Gabriel Allon book. This one was very long though. There is a lot of information about the Temple Mount and history that makes you wonder how much is true.

Really good and cute short read! This is a teen romance story mixed in with mythology. The characters are realistic and relatable and the ending is satisfying, even if it wasn’t what I had hoped. Overall would definitely recommend!

My Friends
by Fredrik Backman

book cover


Heartbreaking, heartwarming, funny, sad, charming, poignant—this book hits many emotions. Fredrik Backman knows people, and his characters are multi-dimensional, complex, and charming. The book is a story within a story, as the retelling of one remarkable summer for four teenage friends is shared during a train ride. Chance encounters, special connections, and the power of good friendship, especially during teenage years. Highly recommend.

Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 11

BSD is one of my favorite series and every volume I read builds so much for the plot, characters, and relationships. The new settings brought to ex-guild and ex-port mafia members was one of the highlights.
