Rich People Problems
by Kevin Kwan

This is the third book in the Crazy Rich Asian series. I enjoyed the book, but not as much as the original. It was difficult to keep track of all the characters since there were so many. I laughed a few times, but this was not a funny book. The characters are a

Finished! This book was so cute. Pieces felt a little unrealistic, but I am very happy suspend my disbelief for the sake of cuteness and joy.

book cover


Dav Pilkey's graphic novel Big Jim Believes is a book about trust and kindness. Big Jim is an optimistic cat who shares a jail cell with grumpy Grampa. Normal as it sounds, when trouble arises, such as supa cute evil aliens from space who want to take over Earth, Big Jim becomes Commander Cupcake (a cupcake superhero) and Grampa becomes Commander Cupcake's sidekick, Sprinkles. Even though they already defeated the Supa Space Cuties once, the cuties came back better than ever before. Can Commander Cupcake, Sprinkles, and their friend The Bark Knight a.k.a. Dog Man save the world? Again? Even though on the surface the book looks silly and full of jokes, underneath the laffs, are deep messages and important morals.
Our Missing Hearts

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.
The Honjin Murders

Charming narration offers an introduction to an endearing detective in a cozyish locked room murder mystery with a clever plot. If you’ve burned through all of Agatha Christie, this series will appeal to you.

My first experience with a pseudo-documentary in book format. I found myself googling Mount Rainer's last eruption just to be sure that this story was in fact fiction. I greatly enjoyed this book and look forward to finding more similar to this.

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.
The Wishing-Well Spell

This was the best book! I wanted to keep reading it and was sad it was over. My favorite part was probably when Daisys friend wished to be a grown up, at the wishing well, and she turned into a grown up but she learned she didn’t like being a grown up and she turned small again at the end of the book. She wanted to be a kid. Matilda - age 7

Daisy Jones and The Six

I loved this book! I’m glad I didn’t watch the TV adaptation prior to reading, but I definitely want to now. The style if the narrative is unique and lends itself to some great storytelling. The characters are believable and the perfect amount of morally grey that makes a reader really latch onto them. I’ve been on a streak of books by this author, and while her writing style is distinct for each book, they all feel perfectly appropriate.
