Atmosphere: A Gma Book Club Pick
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
View in Library Catalog
book cover


The beginning of this book was a little slow for me with the technical component. TJR does a great job with completely new subject matter for all of her books but it took me a second to adapt to space plus so many characters. The last 40% was purely amazing. I was crying at the gym literally
Atlantis Rising

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.
Israel, My Beloved

book cover


A wonderful book for animal lovers, especially rescued cats. A little slow at times, it does work as a memoir. And architecture lovers will enjoy reading about the unique house Caleb built. And nature lovers will appreciate the vivid descriptions of the Taconic mountain. It's a light summer read, great for small moments. But be ready to cry at the end.

Odder so it is really good but sometimes it can be unclear and confusing but it is still so good. I really like it because it is an a animals perspective like most Kathrine Applegate books
Happy Land

book cover


Interesting multigenerational historical fiction inspired by a community of the formerly-enslaved, situated in the mountains of Western NC/SC. Nikki (a DC real estate agent) goes to visit her grandmother, Mother Rita, hoping to ease the estrangement between mother and daughter. But instead Rita tells her a story of the land—how her great-great-great grandmother Luella was the queen of a kingdom on the very land Rita is fighting to keep. Touching and interesting, it's a tale of perseverance and hope.

It was fine, though not this author’s best. The characters never cohered, but the climactic moments were exciting.
Starling House

I was very excited about this book. It sucked me in through the first 80% and lost a bit of steam. There were a few loose strings I’d like to have had cleared up . Overall, I enjoyed it yet wanted more from it.

Honestly, this series just keep getting better by the book. This book was interesting and I could not put it down, Nancy Springer did a GREAT job at this almost artistic writing that many could not achieve. GREAT for ages 9-15.
