book cover


Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second book in the series. In this book Harry Potter goes to his second year at Hogwarts. An elf comes to visit Harry to tell him that he should not return to Hogwarts that year. Warning him that his second year at Hogwarts would be trouble. I enjoyed reading this book and would rate it a five.

It gives more word building to the twilight universe. I like learning about different characters

Nothing More To Tell

This was a pretty decent book. As the writer of One of us is lying I definitely expected more from her but it's not a horrible book. The relationship between the Tripp an the main character is great and the murder mystery is also pretty good although the murderer was pretty obvious.

Give-A-Damn Jones

Very impressive and intriguing novel from cover to cover. Each chapter was short, and the narrator/POV switched with each chapter, making it easy to read. I thoroughly enjoyed the unique protagonist's western journey and uncommon job, and how his moniker came to fruition. I will look for more books by this author in the future.

Tender Is The Flesh
by Agustina Bazterrica

book cover


5 stars “She had the human look of a domesticated animal” This novel is absolutely disgusting and I mean that in the most respectful way possible. The whole concept of this book—All meat is infected therefore humans cannot consume it. This leads the the massacre of farm to pet animals, ultimately resulting in the consumption of “special meat” or better known, human meat. We follow Marcos working on a processing plant going through the motions of the transition, his wife leaving, his sister’s views, his father’s declining health and a special gift: and FGP female. Honestly everyone should pick this book up. It dives into the decline of humanity and how far humans will go even trying to live normally. You see characters take certain political views of this transition and the choices Marcos makes and how he interacts with people and “food.” Though reviewing this in 2024, I read this in September of 2023 and it is hands down joining the ranks of my favorite books of all time.

Typewriter Beach

Typewriter Beach was a novel with something for everyone. If you weren’t enjoying one chapter, it would redeem itself with the turn of a page. I enjoyed the characters . . . Leo was my favorite. It touched on the real problem of those in the entertainment field being black listed in the 50’s and 60’s. This was my first read by Meg Waite Clayton, and it did not disappoint.

Brooms

I liked the premise but I felt that the execution could have been better. I think it should have been a duology or trilogy because then there would have been more room to fully flesh out the plot and develop the characters. I appreciated the diverse cast of characters, I just would have liked to have been able to get to know each of them a little more.

Goal
by Alexandria House

book cover


Goal is a passionate, raw second-chance romance wrapped in the vulnerability of Black love done right. It doesn’t shy away from hard emotions — grief, resentment, longing — but it also doesn’t leave you stuck there. The tenderness feels earned, the love feels grown, and Alexandria House gives us heat with healing.

Rash

book cover


A pretty interesting plot and decent characters, although at times it feels like the storyline was all over the place. The idea of having a USSA where everything is illegal caught my eye, but overall didn't really execute it how I thought it would. The whole addition of Boho Marsten getting obsessed with football when he was in the prison, but then going to South America for track instead also felt a bit whack. Why didn't the author just not add the football storyline, and expand on his love for track? Another flaw in the football part, was his team. Bo just left his football teammates to spend another few years in prison, and gets no consequence? Still, it was a pretty decent book, but I personally will probably never re-read.
