Into The Water
by Paula Hawkins

book cover


Entertaining and suspenseful; things are not what they seem, in an entertaining way. A quick read; there were a few little parts that dragged, but overall I liked it.

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.

Kind of an odd story. Two sisters own a ballet studio that was passed down to them by their mother. When the studio is damaged, a contractor is brought in and delays and weird things happen. Not what I expected.

What You Are Looking For Is In The Library

book cover


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.

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

Loki: Agent Of Asgard - The Complete Collection
by Al Ewing

book cover


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.

Same Sun Here
by Silas House

book cover


I read this as part of an all school summer read. The two author voices create an authentic experience providing two perspectives. I appreciated the back and forth of two young people sharing vulnerabilities coming from different backgrounds, using a forgotten medium that allows for a mindfulness that I think young people could benefit from. I did think the novel attempted a lot with all the issues it covered.

I loved this book. It was like a walk down memory lane as he describes the roles he did and his journey through Hollywood.

All That Life Can Afford
by Emily Everett
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Entertaining book about an American woman working on her postgrad lit degree in London. Struggling to pay her bills, and tutoring wealthy kids as a side job, she is swept into the world of the ultra-wealthy. It's a pretty nice place, at least materially, and she begins to do more and more things to stay there--until there's a reckoning. More than just fluff, there's depth to the characters and plenty of Austen references.
