What You Are Looking For Is In The Library
by Michiko Aoyama
View in Library Catalog
book cover


4.5 What a beautiful story. I really enjoyed this book and its surprises (I don’t like to give spoilers). The Community House is a surprising place and the librarian, as all librarians are, is magical. I can relate in some way to each story and each one touched my heart. Life’s simple things and what we can do if we think a little differently about our selves and situations. And try new things. And how we interpret stories differently. Libraries are always comforting to me. Sayuri Komachi is a wonderful librarian - she knows what people need. Open up and value ourselves a little more.

I liked this one. I had read Throne of the Fallen before starting this series and I really enjoyed it so I figured why not go back and try this one,

A murder mystery from the murderers’ point of view! Bought this as a beach book but was pleasantly surprised. Very creative and enticing storyline that kept me interested as someone who’s not much of a bookworm.

Finally finished this after a few weeks of reading! Nonfiction always takes me longer. But this was a fascinating look into two of the most influential men for new England’s architecture (landscape and general). There’s a whole chapter on Easton, which prompted my family to go on a walking tour of Richardson’s buildings in Easton- including the library (my personal fav), where I discovered this challenge! We discovered the historical society in richardsons railroad as well :)
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
It's a Love Story

Entertaining love story that's more than just fluff. A great beach read, but also a look at former child stars, perception vs reality, and real love vs Insta-love.

Our Missing Hearts
by Celeste Ng

book cover


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.

Predictable, but a fun read. I didn't really love the way the point of view was done in the book, but I still enjoyed the characters.
