The Do-Over
by Lynn Painter

This boon was so adorable! I love Lynn Painter books, and this one was no different. The trope is a bit unoriginal, but the way Lynn writes the main character's mentality about it makes up for the cliché.

April Storm

book cover


This was a great summer read- quick, easy, and fun! I was hooked from the start and couldn't wait to see what happened next. Some of the twists and turns were predictable or so unrealistic it was funny, but it's the perfect light read for the beach or pool.

book cover


Cecily Wong's "Kaleidoscope" is a poignant and introspective exploration of grief, friendship, and self-discovery, told through the lens of a young woman grappling with the sudden loss of her best friend. Through lyrical prose and a non-linear narrative that mimics the fractured nature of memory, Wong crafts a moving portrait of the ways in which loss can reshape our understanding of ourselves and those we love.

Guts: A Graphic Novel
by Raina Telgemeier

book cover


I wish I'd read this in my puberty years!! Raina!!! Where were you then? With two brothers and a mom who worked and attended community college, my deep shyness and fear of asking questions as well as sharing my personal concerns isolated me in my family and with my "peers" at school or elsewhere. Ughhhh. Yuk! So glad young pre-pubescent tweens, et al have validating and confidence-giving reading like this one! Ughhhhh....even hiding "used stuff" in the kitchen garbage "indiscreetly" was nerve wracking! (so my brothers wouldn't get "the secret" I was hiding!) And the products we had in the 1970's! So weird! (And my mom was overjoyed for me - "now you can have a baby!" Really? I don't want one now! What would I do with one as a tweenager?)

The Woman In Suite 11
by Ruth Ware

book cover


The book is a sequel to the "The Woman in cabin 10". The author took nearly half the book to set the story and recap the first book and all the characters. It was tiring to read that part of the book. There was not enough depth or reason for the characters to behave the way they did. I found it a little too dragging and unnecessary on many details. But a quick read and a thriller.

Sarah J. Mass is a storyteller like none I have read before. Her world building has me in literal awe andi could not believe what I was reading halfway through the book. Cealena Sardothien is one of my favorite characters and Dorian is probably a close second
