Dear Rachel Maddow
by Adrienne Kisner
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I adored this book! The protagonist's "voice" comes through so strongly and distinctively in the first-person narration, and I love the contemporary take on the more traditional epistolary genre. The story is well paced and makes for quite a page-turner. I appreciate the inclusion of supportive educators. The subject matter also remains extremely timely and pertinent in the context of current sociopolitical events. I highly recommend it - and would love to know whether Rachel Maddow herself has read it!

Bury Our Bones In The Midnight Soil
by V. E. Schwab

book cover


I loved the author's previous book, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, so I was excited to read this one. That one blended a strain of fantasy into the present world, and this one did too. I don't want to give anything away, but it's the interconnected story of three women—Sabine, Charlotte, and Alice—over a period ranging from the 1500s to present day, in Europe and Boston. It was interesting and entertaining, but not as good as Addie LaRue, for me.

One of my favorite Ali Hazelwood books. I enjoyed the building of the romance. It was also nice to have a peek at the life of past book characters as well.

The Midnight Feast

book cover


An amazing psychological thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat and leaves you wanting to unearth more answers to the burning questions that pop up. I audibly gasped as secrets were unfolding with every twist and turn. And like the characters in the book, I felt a sense of closure as I turned the last page. Lucy Foley is a mastermind, and this might be her best one yet!

I like Chase, Ryder, and and the Paw Patrol. I like reading this book with my mommy because it has so many stories. My favorite is Adventures with Grandpa. If you like Paw Patrol, you will like it too!

Deadly Animals
by Marie Tierney

book cover


Dark, macabre, subject matter, but so interesting and suspenseful. Ava is an extraordinary 14 year old: studious, compassionate, analytical, whip-smart—and very interested in death: how animals die, the rate at which they decompose, etc. She studies this with a scientific remove, yet also with compassion. During her clandestine studies she finds a the body of her missing classmate, and thus the story begins. This book is beautifully written, and the characters are complex and convincingly rendered. Unlike anything else I've read. Highly recommend.

I wouldn’t recommend reading this one. I only liked the detectives character in this but I didn’t enjoy reading from all the different points of view.

Red Kayak

book cover


I didn’t realize this was a book for middle schoolers when I picked it up . That being said the subject matter is very deep, murder, abuse , child lose and grief . I couldn’t gauge the time setting . The 13 year olds have to help out and work crabbing, culling chickens etc and they even smoke cigarettes. I feel it would be hard for children to connect to this book today.

This had me going back and forth trying to guess what the ending was going to be the entire time! It kept me hooked!
