by Rick Riordan

View in Library Catalog



Rick Riordans "The Red Pyramid" is a very good spin on Egyptian Mythology. Similar to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, this series focuses on two siblings named Carter and Sadie. As we follow their journey through the world with their faithful cat/goddess Bast at their side, we discover that their father and uncle have been taken and they need to rescue him. Their dangerous journey brings them closer to the truth of their family.

All You Have to Do Is Call

I didn't know anything about the Janes, a group of (mostly) women in the 1970s in Chicago who worked to provide women with access to abortions at a time when it was illegal in the United States. This book is a fictional imagination of a group of women who may have participated in this type of network. I enjoyed the story and the history behind it and am eager to read more, particularly in light of the current legal and political environment in the United States.

It is a very engaging book that makes me want to read the last book in the series. I am excited to read the next book after reading the teaser provided at the very end of the book. Some people are excited about the book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

You'd Look Better As A Ghost

This book would look better as a ghost. The only times that it got even remotely interesting was when the FMC was a child and maybe the last 50 pages of the book. Otherwise it was very repetitive and not very note-worthy.

Long Way Down

A powerful, gut-punching novel in verse that tackles gun violence and the cycle of revenge. Reynolds' raw, poetic storytelling and the book's unique elevator-ride structure make for an intense, thought-provoking read .

Was a sweet romance novel but it just didn't strike me as anything special.
