Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 11
by Kafka Asagiri

BSD is one of my favorite series and every volume I read builds so much for the plot, characters, and relationships. The new settings brought to ex-guild and ex-port mafia members was one of the highlights.
 
 

The God of the Woods
by Liz Moore

A teenager, Barbara Van Laar, disappears from an Adirondacks summer camp—but she's not just any camper. She's the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp, an enormous piece of land adjacent to it, and employs a large portion of the town. Fourteen years ago, her brother disappeared, and the book weaves together the two disappearances. The book moves between different time periods (primarily the 1950s, 1961, and the summer of 1975) and it told from several different points of view: Barbara's bunkmate Tracy, her counselor Louise, Bear and Barbara's mother Alice, employee Carl, female police detective Judyta (Joo-DEE-tah), groundskeeper Vic, and Barbara. (Chapter headers keep everything clear.) This isn't an edge-of-your-seat thriller, but more subtly suspenseful: the tension winds tighter and tighter and by the end it's near impossible to put down. A very good book.

The bone vault

A good book but way too much detail about the museum of natural history and the metropolitan museum of art both in New York.
 
 

The son of Neptune
by Rick Riordan

Every one of Rick Riordan’s books has been amazing and this one was really great. The story of the new camp for Roman half bloods was amazing and I loved the different perspectives. All of the narrators were likable. Overall highly recommend!

Rich AF: The Winning Money Mindset That Will Change Your Life
by Vivian Tu

If you are a financial expert, this book will feel too basic. But if you're new to finance, money management, or just put off by the serious and dry tone of most financial information, there's a lot of good information here. It's presented in a very straightforward, conversational way, with anecdotes that keep things interesting and relatable to people outside finance. If you're not sure where to start with saving, paying off debt, etc. this book will get you started. After I finished the book I passed it on to my 15 year old daughter and she finds it interesting while I thought she'd just read a few things here and there, she decided to read cover to cover.
 
 

Same As It Ever Was
by Claire Lombardo

I had a hard time getting into this book; the pace was just too slow for me. I read about half and since it was overdue I returned without finishing it. While it didn't pull me in, there were some very insightful looks into how people think and human behavior that were interesting and relatable. Might try it again sometime.
 
 

The West Passage

Such a wild ride. Nothing quite like it. Giant women that are towers and beehives that are giraffes so bizarre. Very fun read
 
 

Middle of the night
by Riley sager

I enjoy Riley savers writing style, so I always enjoy his books. Usually I prefer his books with more shocking twist and speechless endings, but this book didn’t give me it.
