The Cider House Rules
by John Irving
View in Library Catalog
book cover


One of the best books I've ever read. Although if was over 20 hours of listening, I didn't want this book to ever end. It takes you through the life of an orphan, Homer Wells and his mentor/wanna be father Dr Larch. This book is filled with so many taboo subjects with graphic content that one might shy away from reading it, but didn't. It's a fantastic start

The book Smile is a true story that happened to the author Raina Telgemeier. After a Girl Scouts meeting she falls and it causes a terrible accident. She had damaged her two front teeth. The book is all about her journey with having braces, surgery's, a retainer with fake teeth on it and much more. I enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

Wrong Place, Wrong Time

book cover


Although I typically enjoy time travel novels, I wasn’t a fan of this one. It was convoluted and disconnected at times. The character development of the minor characters was weak. At least four times I had to search for characters mentioned to find out their significance to the storyline. I read to the end -I’m not a quitter - but it was a disappointing read for me.

Very disappointed with the plot. I love a good woman in stem protagonist but this plot was really just an erotic novel.

DNF - I couldn’t get past the vulgarity or child abuse. This is not my cup of tea. I’m sure that the storyline is decent, but I do not wish to proceed.

A throughout description of the famous thieves of the seas, Under the Black Flag gives documents the history and details of the different pirates who terrorized the oceans of the New World. The book describes many of the famous pirate captains, motivations for pirates, the rules they followed, daily life on these ships, how they operated and how they were taken down. It also goes into detail about famous fictional pirates whether that be on the book and the screen. It also makes sure to debunk the myths of the pirates and how these individuals became the legendary pop culture figures they're known as today. If you have any interest in pirates, this book is a great way to learn more about them.

I love every new character in this series! With every chapter comes a new question to be answered and a game to be played. Everything, from the plot, to the new characters, are impeccably written! Can't wait to see where this series goes next! Eagerly awaiting the next book.
