The Last Devil To Die
by Richard Osman

book cover


This is the 4th book in the series.and the saddest. Even though you may figure out what is going to happen, it still surprises. There is still lots of adventure and mystery. I liked this book and wished there could be more. I love the characters. Can't wait for the TV presentation.

I deeply enjoyed this newest addition to the Percy Jackson Universe. We follow our favorite couple, Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades, and Will Solace, son of Apollo, through their treacherous journey in Tartarus. Their quest? To save Bob, a titan friend from earlier books. The son of Hades relationship with the son of Apollo gets tested over and over in the lowest part of the Underworld.

Rogue Protocol

This title is the third book in the Murderbot Diaries series, and was kind of disappointing after the second book, which remains my favorite so far. Although I didn't dislike this book, it felt slower to get through than the previous two. I did appreciate the adorable robot Miki and its human friend Abene, but the overall plot felt mostly like an excuse to set things up for the fourth book.

Reading this was a breeze but it could've used a little more plot development in my opinion.

Seven Days In June
by Tia Williams

book cover


Seven Days in June is sexy, smart, and achingly real. Eva and Shane’s second-chance love story pulses with heat and heartbreak, but it’s their emotional scars—addiction, illness, abandonment—that make the connection unforgettable. Tia Williams writes with wit and soul, blending laughter with pain in a way that feels deeply human. It’s a romance, yes—but it’s also a reckoning.

Recitatif

5 stars I decided to read the story then the introduction by Zadie Smith first and it was really insightful. This book is told in the perspective of Twyla and we see her and Roberta at the age of eight at shelter, years later in life, and a few after that. What we are told from the beginning is that one is black and one is white: the only way to tell the difference is based on their experiences and relationships. After reading Zadie Smith’s introduction, it really got my brain to thinking. Now I don’t want to spoil events in this short story so i’ll put it like this: Studies showed that white readers believe Twyla is white and black readers think vise versa. I believe she is passing. Roberta for sure I felt was black, based on descriptions of her, her mom and what she was doing. But the reason for feeling that Twyla is black, but white passing is due to descriptions of her mom wearing powder (which if you know about history on slaves, when they were gifted to the slave master’s daughter: to distinguish them from the field slaves they wore powders to make themselves lighter), her not knowing about Jimi Hendrix, her braiding Roberta’s hair. Small details I notice along the way and Zadie Smith’s insight as well. But in all this for sure is a 5 star read for me.

Same Time Next Summer

This was my first Monaghan book. I really enjoyed her writing style. I felt that the then and now aspects of the book complemented each other seamlessly. I do wish there was a "future" or little epilogue that gave readers a glimpse into what could have happened.

Our Souls At Night

Very quick read. Not a lot of action but I liked it. Two widows/neighbors who find friendship/romance at a later stage in life. I wasn't crazy about the lack of quotes for dialogue but just a minor complaint.

When The Moon Hatched

Great, unique world building. Plot with some interesting twists. Sometimes the plot moved slowly, but then the end went too quickly. Seemed like parts could have been cut out.
