The Husbands
by Holly Gramazio
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Parts of this book are amusing and funny, as our protagonist, Lauren constantly receives and sends men back up into her magical attic, exchanging each of them for a new husband. Yet none of them are right for her. Sometimes they are rejected for silly reasons. She goes through hundreds of men that might have been a possible future for her. This book reminding me a little of the old movie Sliding Doors. I will not say how the book ends or if she ends up with anyone. It ends quickly though. Part of me would also have liked an explanation why the attic was even doing this... why was she chosen to try out some many variations of her life? Or was it just random?

Mockingjay
by Suzanne Collins

book cover


I can’t even choose which Hunger Games book is my favourite: all had heart, fast-paced action (as well as a call to action), and relevant scenes and topics that are taking place as we speak. Mockingjay though, I got through the quickest and felt unease with each twist and event (for example Peeta hijacked to kill Katniss, or at the end with President Coin.) I cannot wait to read “A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” and “Sunrise on the Reaping.”

The Secret Life of Sunflowers
by Marta Molnar

book cover


This is one of those books where you should definitely not judge a book by its cover. I almost didn’t read it because it looked like a boring book about native Americans (not saying books about NA are boring…this just looked like it would be). It’s not boring and not about NA. It’s historical fiction about Vincent van Gogh’s sister in law, Jo, and her troubles and how she persevered to eventually get his works seen and appreciated world wide. It’s also about a fictional current-day woman and how she reads Jo’s diary and comes to learn about her and be inspired by her. It's a book that kept me reading, enjoying, and learning throughout.
