Harry Potter And The Half-blood Prince
by J.K. Rowling
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince is the sixth book in the series. In this book the Death Eaters have gone crazy not only in the Wizarding world but also in the Muggle world. Muggles are people who don't do magic. Now Hogwarts is no longer a safe place for the students. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

Have You Seen Luis Velez?

3.5 stars. This was a beautiful story about intergenerational friendship that reflected the goodness (and evil) in our world. It touched on the themes of racism, sexuality, and how we form our chosen families. Just when I thought I knew what this story was about, it revealed another dimension. Simple prose but a powerful message.

The book that started my love of reading when I was young.

Hang the Moon

Jeannette Walls writes another 5-star book with this one. Great story about girl power before it was socially acceptable. Sallie Kincaid reminds me of Queen Elizabeth I and their unwillingness to marry because they knew it would only be a distraction.

Hunting Evil

Good book however the author spends too much time trying to disprove Simon Wiesenthal's work.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts I & II (Special Rehearsal Edition)

book cover


If you like reading play-scripts then this is the perfect book for you. The book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child had turned into a play. The whole play had eventually turned into a play-script. I really enjoyed this book because I loved the play and it was nice that I could read the play-script and imagine the play all over again. I would definitely recommend this book if you like plays and I would rate it five stars.

Happy Place

This one hit me in my feelings - its tender, nostalgic and quietly heartbreaking in the best way. The second chance romance between Harriet & Wyn felt so real, like watching two people try to hold on to something beautiful that's slowly slipping away. I loved the found family vibe, the messy emotions, and how it reminded me that love isn't always loud - sometimes it's small steady moments.

The Only One Left

Although some of this was a little far fetched, it definitely kept me guessing!

The Islanders

A fast read; entertaining right up till the end. I liked the plot "mysteries" that unraveled towards the end so our characters, who sounded like very real people, could let go of their troubled past and move forward.

Julia Phillips's Bear focuses on 2 sisters, Samantha and Elena. Both sisters are stuck in low wage, menial jobs while taking care of their very sick mother. They grow up on an isolated island of the coast of Washington. As adults that glorious Northwest paradise has since turned into a depressing, bleak existence. When suddenly, almost magically a large, wild bear walks onto their property and changes everything.
