Flint is my favorite poem from here. Saw him on AGT and had to get his book. Super great. He can get a little religious which isn’t typically my cup of tea but it wasn’t too much. Still a great poet and sooo amazing.

A powerful story that truly opens one’s eyes to the different forms of abuse and mistreatment faced by some (and how these can go unaknowledged both by the victim and those watching).

'Maybe in Another Life' was a compelling read but then held some aspects I disliked. I did fall in love with the characters, such as the main one, Hannah. I was glad to see how far she'd come in both lives. Her life story makes me feel a bit better. She changed from indecisive to quite decisive. Hannah transformed as a person and chose to follow a healing path. I was fond of how she learned to accept many things that came in her way. What I didn't like was how many times cinnamon rolls and high buns were mentioned. I also got bored of how tedious the story got. Oftentimes, it repeated what happened in that life to the other life. TJK incorporated lots of wisdom within Hannah, which I found nice. Overall, I'm satisfied the story ended happily, but it just wasn't one of my best reads.

Wow. This book was amazing. Loki is my favorite Marvel character and the artists and writers did him well. The series covers topics of identity, being yourself, and one’s place in the universe. Some really deep stuff. I love the casual representation in the series of different identities and I love that they stayed true to Loki’s fluid nature. The ending is a bit filled of unknowns, but I’m sure that’s the way Loki likes it. Overall great book! I don’t usually read graphic novels but I’m glad I read this one.

I liked reading from Poppy’s point of view more than any of the others. I think this book was way overhyped when it first came out. It wasn’t my favorite.

This book is really good and really exciting

Interesting book, it was very fun and I learned a lot. The behind the scenes info on the process of creating and filming The Guild was very informative.

I liked this book because it is about a witch and there is a place called Hecate where all the witches from 300 years ago when to hide from the men who hunted them. Eloise- 9

I read this book based on our book club's recommendation and also as it was a library staff pick. While told in its own unique way, the plot reminded me of so many things that have happened/are happening in society and the world. I got the impressions of COVID and anti-Asian sentiments, the removal and separation of children from Native Americans as well as their return from successful adoptions, separation of immigrant families at the border, etc. The "Crisis" and PACT were universal in their meaning as was the resulting abuse of power and tendency to look the other way. The way Celeste Ng told the story through the eyes of young Bird was very interesting, and the young adult fiction book, "The Giver", kept coming to mind.

Inaccurately marketed as a crime thriller, this slow burn of a political novel is unlike anything I’ve read. The protagonist is a detective, but positioned in a PR management liaison role between the police and journalists. I cared enough about him as a character to stick with the drier parts of the office politics to get to the cold case that resumes in a unique and gratifying way. Overall the novel hangs together narratively, has interesting characters, broaches topics I hadn’t seen addressed in fiction before, or so well, and gives the reader enough of a plot payoff to read through the complex, intellectual matter that takes up much of its 576 pages. But if you pick it up looking for a page-turning mystery, you’ll be disappointed.
