Somewhere Beyond The Sea

by TJ Klune

View in Library Catalog

Delightful read. The messages and themes present in this book are so applicable to today's political and social climate.

Fancy Nancy And The Mean Girl

by Jane O'Connor

View in Library Catalog

I like how Nancy stood up for herself even though she was scared.

Copper Script

by Kj Charles

View in Library Catalog

A Sherlock Holmes-ish mystery set in the 1920s, as a good cop teams up with a “graphologist” in a dangerous bid to expose corruption within the London police department.

Table For Two

by Amor Towles

View in Library Catalog

I was disappointed that this was not a novel but 6 short stories based in New York and a novella based in Hollywood in 1936. The novella made up for the other stories.

The Island

by Adrian Mckinty

View in Library Catalog

It had a sligtly slow start, but it quickly picked up and became a page turner. A young woman goes to Australia with her husband and his 2 kids (her stepkids) to Australia and end up going to a private island where a tragic accident occurs, setting off a chain of events

Elements of Style

by Wendy Wasserstein

View in Library Catalog

Struck me as too Sex and the City/ Real Housewives superficial treatment of superficiality. Didn’t care enough about any of the characters for any of the tragedies in the plot to hit as such. Was surprised to be this disappointed.

Swan Song

by Elin Hilderbrand

View in Library Catalog

Not one of my favorites of her. I thought there was too much info dumping about popular restaurants and stores in Nantucket and not enough focus on the plot. I did not like many of the characters in the story either especially Leslee and Bull.

Roger Is Reading A Book

by Koen Van Biesen

View in Library Catalog

I loved this book because Emily was so funny! I felt bad for Roger and the dog.

The Hidden Oracle (trials Of Apollo, Book One)

by Rick Riordan

View in Library Catalog

I loved this book. I could stop reading, its leaving me eager to start the second. As always this is a classic Rick Riordan book, with all his humor.

The Penderwicks At Point Mouette

by Jeanne Birdsall

View in Library Catalog

Everyone should read it. I really liked how Skye got a chance to be OAP (oldest available Penderwick) and how Roslind had a break
