The Burning

by Linda Castillo

View in Library Catalog

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.

Naruto, Vol. 48

by Masashi Kishimoto

View in Library Catalog

It was a really good volume but I didn’t like how Nagato, Konan, and Tamiko just immediately thought morays was great, like he was an enemy shinobi, why do you just immediately think he’s great

Delicate Condition

by Danielle Valentine

View in Library Catalog

The story kept me engaged and kept me guessing. I’d recommend this book for someone who enjoys psychological thrillers.

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.

Penny And Her Sled

by Kevin Henkes

View in Library Catalog

Penny is my favorite because she really stands up for her thoughts!

Beautiful Ugly

by Alice Feeney

View in Library Catalog

This was a very entertaining book! Alice Feeney’s books always keep me guessing and have twists I can never truly guess at accurately. I was a little confused with how the stories came together at the end, however.

First Lie Wins

by Ashley Elston

View in Library Catalog

A page turner for sure. Great story, hard to put down. Love the characters and the twists… and I will admit that I fell for them all. Highly recommend this one.

The Kind Worth Killing

by Peter Swanson

View in Library Catalog

A murder mystery from the murderers’ point of view! Bought this as a beach book but was pleasantly surprised. Very creative and enticing storyline that kept me interested as someone who’s not much of a bookworm.

The Fascinators

by Andrew Eliopulos

View in Library Catalog

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 Love Hypothesis

by Ali Hazelwood

View in Library Catalog

This book’s plot started out seeming like a well-known rom-com plot of “fake dating leads to real love”. That is the basic theme, but the book is entertaining along the way with a lot of pieces to the plot. I really enjoyed the book.
