The Kiss Countdown
by Etta Easton
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Fun, flirty, and refreshingly nerdy — this romance was a delightful mix of brainy charm and real heart. The chemistry felt natural and the love story had just the right amount of swoon.

Millennium Series Book 7 I have read all of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series. This book was the first by this author. It was not as good as they others.

Very quick & easy - loved it.

A Woman's Crusade

book cover


I'd been meaning to read this biography of woman's suffragist Alice Paul for a while and moved it to the front of the queue after seeing the Suffs musical on Broadway. The problem with this was that I already knew the story. I downgraded the review to 2 stars for this reason. The biography was OK, but nothing special.

Percy Jackson And The Sea Of Monsters (book 2)
by Rick Riordan
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A lovely addition to a lovely series, You’ll meet new characters to love, and cherish the old ones. You’ll hate the new villains and the old, and love their drama and jokes too. Sarcastic, funny, adventurous, and serious, all the things you could ever want in an adventurous story of gods,monsters, and determined mortals.

Conclave
by Robert Harris

book cover


Although I knew a little about the process of electing a new pope, this book filled in a lot of the blanks. It really portrayed the Cardinals as men who are not perfect but doing their best. Some were ambitious, others questioned their inability to make the right decision, some feeling doubts and lacking in their prayers. It keeps your attention to the end.

Death Comes to Marlow
by Robert Thorogood

book cover


I anticipated this book after reading the first Marlow Murder Club book last year. Intriguing alibis were the best part of the story but the answer to the mystery was not as intuitive. I liked how the story furthered character development from the first book.

How To Read Literature Like A Professor 3e
by Thomas C. Foster

book cover


Ok. I had to read this book for the AP literature summer assignment so I didn’t choose to read it although I saw it a few times and and thought it seemed interesting. This book bored me many times but I feel that is because I am not the targeted audience. Yes, it was assigned but I feel like this book would be better for a college student majoring in literature or something of that sort. I learned a lot of things from this book so I am happy I read it but I found it very long for the information I was given. Maybe I will read it again when I am in college.

Coraline 10th Anniversary Edition
by Neil Gaiman

book cover


Of course I love the Coraline movie, who doesn't? I wish I had read the book before watching the movie. The idea of this book is brilliant and was interesting, but since I already watched the film, I knew what was going to happen. His writing also threw me off a little bit. The book was also very fast-paced, faster than the movie felt. I love Coraline, and I did not like this book that much, so I would only recommend the book to someone who has not seen the movie yet.
