My Friends
by Fredrik Backman
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Heartbreaking, heartwarming, funny, sad, charming, poignant—this book hits many emotions. Fredrik Backman knows people, and his characters are multi-dimensional, complex, and charming. The book is a story within a story, as the retelling of one remarkable summer for four teenage friends is shared during a train ride. Chance encounters, special connections, and the power of good friendship, especially during teenage years. Highly recommend.
Horror Movie

Not one of my favorites of his. I really didn’t like reading a book within a book in this case (I generally do not mind but I didn’t like it here). I think the plot of this book didn’t really make much sense to me nor did I like the main character. The ending was just too bizarre too.

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.
Alias Emma

Really fun read. Plot-driven, moves at a great pace, was everything I’d hoped the book would be. Flashbacks weren’t intrusive to the current plot events, nor too numerous; anytime we departed the main action for some backstory it was equally captivating. This is the kind of book that makes me delighted to know it’s a series.
Meet Me In Monaco

I enjoyed this book - I loved putting together the sights and scents in my head and feel I could smell them. I enjoyed how she incorporated Grace Kelly with a beautiful store of a local parfumerie. I will say I was surprised by some turn of events before the passing of Grace Kelly, but it was a nice story

This is a good one. My son can easily fill in the blank while reading this because it is repetitive.

The best book ever read ON PLANET EARTH
Deadly Animals
by Marie Tierney
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Dark, macabre, subject matter, but so interesting and suspenseful. Ava is an extraordinary 14 year old: studious, compassionate, analytical, whip-smart—and very interested in death: how animals die, the rate at which they decompose, etc. She studies this with a scientific remove, yet also with compassion. During her clandestine studies she finds a the body of her missing classmate, and thus the story begins. This book is beautifully written, and the characters are complex and convincingly rendered. Unlike anything else I've read. Highly recommend.
Secret Of The Sassafras

My only complaint about this book, other than the amount of tissues I went through, was that while I was somewhat satisfied with the ending, it seemed somewhat abrupt in my opinion. Other than that, there was not one thing I didn’t absolutely love about this book. I fell in love with both the beautiful writing and lifelike characters. I sincerely hope this is the first of many books by this author because I found the writing both beautiful and profound. I particularly enjoyed the way the two storylines were beautifully interwoven. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone and won’t forget this book and it’s awesome cast of characters for a really long time!
