Death On The Nile
by Agatha Christie
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Death On The Nile by Agatha Christie is a superb book with numerous twists and turns. It demonstrates an incredible plot, diverse and unique characters, and the sense of being trapped with the killer. It also utilizes third-person narrative in a very satisfying way, allowing us to know what the characters are thinking yet also not spoil the ending. However, the story has a very long exposition, taking up a good portion of the book, and a shorter (yet still long) "falling action/conclusion" taking up a small section of the book. In summation, this well-made book with an incredible plot is great for readers, as long as they have some patience.

Enjoyed reading the story of a woman who runs a radio talk show giving advice to people calling in. Unfortunately in real life, she doesn't think of herself and take her own advice. Especially liked the backdrop of some of the setting being in Italy and characters she met in Italy.

Behind You Is The Sea

This book was well-written. I enjoyed the characters and the stories. And, I enjoyed learning more about Palestinian-Americans. My one criticism is more about personal preference - this book read like a collection of short stories, with each chapter penned from the perspective of a different character. The stories didn't connect together all that well - sometimes, we'd see some of the same characters show up in multiple stories; other times, a major character from one story would show up as a minor character in another. I prefer a more congruent narrative. Some of the stories were more interesting than others or cut off right where there was potential to get more interesting. It was also a little confusing to follow the threads given the number of characters and the different timelines involved. I understand this format is a stylistic preference, but it's not my favorite. Still, there was a lot to appreciate here, and I would look forward to reading more from this debut author.

The Big Four

I greatly enjoyed this book. While I do not feel like it reached the highs of the previous Christie detective novels, I feel like it did not need to. This novel, though featuring Christie's most famous detective, is structured more like a spy novel, and various small, classically styled detective mysteries are sprinkled over the book to tie together the grand narrative.

I hate my fake boyfriend
by Mia Mccoy

book cover


I read this book within 30 hours and I loved it very much. I actually LOL’d a few times. I like how this books isn’t just romance but has other things going on like the dogs, and trying to find a dad. I wish at some moments we got more, like what happened when they were zip lining. Usually I prefer books to be shorter but I really wish this one were longer because of how much I enjoyed it. I would recommend this so anyone who likes romance, music, dogs, and rom-coms.

Equivalent Exchange

There’s something magnetic about how CCJ tells a love story — layered, emotionally intelligent, and rooted in real-world complexity. Equivalent Exchange isn’t just romance, it’s about doing your own work before love can take root. It gives space to flaws, growth, and the magic of connection when you least expect it.
