The Quiet Librarian
by Allen Eskens
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A mystery involving a Minnesota librarian and her past 30 years before involving the Boasian-Serbian war. The chapters go back and forth from present day Minnesota back to 1995 and the war. Her past involves her part in the war which has caught up to her in present day, and someone is out to get her and the grandchild of her recently killed best friend. It's gritty, heart pounding, and sad at times. She definitely is not a quiet librarian. Not a novel I will forget anytime soon.

Cheesy but cute! Very relevant because of the popularity of wordle these days.

The Silent Patient
by Alex Michaelides
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Eerie, cerebral, and methodically paced, The Silent Patient plays mind games in the most satisfying way. You think you know what’s happening — until you don’t. It’s a psychological thriller that earns its twist not with shock value, but by quietly building layers of deception, silence, and obsession until the reveal knocks the wind out of you.

The Twisted Ones: Five Nights At Freddy’s (five Nights At Freddy’s Graphic Novel #2)
by Scott Cawthon

book cover


The Twisted Ones takes the horror up a level. It’s intense, creepy, and full of nightmare fuel. The animatronics are scarier, horrific, the mystery is deeper, and Charlotte’s past won’t let her go. It’s fast, freaky, and had me hooked from start to finish.

Excellent read. O'Reilly did his homework - best of his Killing series in my opinion.

Another Day

5 stars. This book (especially at the end) broke me. The tone, mood and writing is amazing and kept me drawn in. I think what I like most about the book is the fact that I fell in love with the concept of love. That’s the whole premise behind this novel: realizing the one who you’ve loved for years never really cared, or if they did, it felt that you had to prove you deserved love an attention; the one who actually loves you who hops from different bodies everyday (the sci-fi aspect) though you know you can’t have them; and loving yourself and making your own choices, NOT based on either party. I had moments where I said to myself “man, Rhiannon sucks and I hate her.” Though yes, she was annoying, I felt bad for her being placed in the relationship tug-o-war between Justin and A. In my opinion I feel that this is a great 2000s YA novel and more people should read it. Whether you start with Another Day or Everyday (the first installment) the book is still memorable and nostalgic in a sense. (But when I tell you, you are going to feel that ending HARD. My heart started beating so fast at the last two chapters

this book destroyed me in the best way possible. I was rooting for valentino and orion the whole time. I loved how all the stories connected and even gave us an insight into Rufus and mateo's life. Adam Silvera is an INCREDIBLE writer and this book was so unique and the whole idea of death-cast - so unique, I love it.

In this book Karen decided to start adopting Grandmothers. She had more grandmothers than anybody knows. She had adopted five grandmothers and she thinks it's special. One of the grandma's makes her listen to old music and teaches her funny dance. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate the book five stars.

Legacy

I am actually not surprised that Sophie is unmatchable because in the previous books, it is stated that you can only find out if your matchable through data including your parents. But Sophie doesn't know who her parents are
