Atlantis Rising
by T. A. Baron
View in Library Catalog
book cover


T.A. Barron did will with crafting a creation myth for a well known real world myth. The story takes a while to really get going. While some might think the main character, Promi’s obsession with eating is a cute quirk. I feel that it was overdone to the point of turning the story more silly than intended. T.A. Barron attempted a reluctant hero, but this theme was buried under the jokes cracked about food and having pies to steal. It is a good read, but buckle up when you start because it takes about 200 pages to get going.

Enjoyed this book the whole way through. I loved to see everyone’s different view point of the family system and their individual dynamics. How certain feelings can be misinterpreted and missed by those closest to you.

In five years was a fast, fabulous, five star read. Any book that makes you appreciate life, friends, and found family is a great book in my opinion. I also enjoyed the book because it was it wasn’t one dimensional. It made me laugh and cry!

This book had me in tears by the end of it. It was almost like I could feel the pain of the characters seeping through the pages. By far one of the best books I have ever read.

The Breakaway
by Jennifer Weiner

book cover


Jennifer Weiner's latest book that does not take place on the Outer Cape but in Philadelphia and New York in August of 2023. The main character of the book is Abby Stern who is a "larger" person that struggles with criticism from her Mother as well as society. Abby is also an avid biker who ends up leading a 14-day bike trip on the Empire State Trail from NYC to Niagra Falls. Among the fifteen riders on the trip is Sebastian whom Abby had a one-night-stand with two years earlier. The rest of the book centers around Abby, Sebastian, and Abby's current boyfriend, Mark. I enjoyed the book as well as the different stories of the characters on the bike trip.

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.

This book containing the eye opening stories of his childhood was incredible, especially with the audiobook having been narrated by Trevor Noah himself.
Dread nation

What a great zombie story!!!! I loved every minute of this one. Justina Ireland had the perfect amount of description and commentary from her main character Jane. I really did enjoy this one. The blatant racism (due to the setting of the book) was not exceedingly terrible. It was still there and made me dislike certain characters. But it was combatted with the main characters inner commentary and the inclusion of decent folks. And by decent folks I mean those who would be considered abolitionists in that time period. The idea that the Civil War was interrupted by a zombie plague is a genuine genius move. Also, I couldn’t help but develop a southern accent in my head while reading this book! Well done Justina Ireland!
