Woman, Eating
by Claire Kohda
View in Library Catalog
book cover


4.5 stars I found this book to be very relateable in a sense. The way how Lydia, or Lyd, would view herself, based on her mother’s views. How she tries to grow from that experience, but still finds ways to go back to old habits. There’s something about the way Lydia thinks. It reminds me of myself. Even the way she was assssing Ben in the beginning of the book was so me. Smooth and perverse in a sense. Aware to details. The was she describes people, like Ben for instance, is an intimate yet sickly sweet way that adds onto the experience of this book. Her akwardness is also a familiar feeling, being out of place and not knowing how to piece your feelings…The way she views her art and how it relates to her trying to find her human side through the demon is another interesting element. The way Lydia just describes the feel and sensuality of human skin and blood is so intimate, and disgusting but beautiful at the same time. My only reason I’m rating this 4.5 stars instead of 5 is that I wish there was more detail or background to be fleshed out in certain parts. One thing I have in mind was Gideon and her interactions with him. But overall I’d recommend this book to anyone.

Thrilling adventure that brings Greek mythology to life in modern-day America, following Percy Jackson as he discovers his demigod heritage and embarks on a quest to prevent a war among the gods. The plot was fast-paced and I enjoyed the witty humor, and relatable characters that combined fantasy and mythology.

2nd book in the " A Thursday Murder Club Myster" series but you don't need to have read the first one. Very entertaining mystery with lovable characyers that youwish you were friends with. Quietly hysterical but a good and fast moving story.

Hunter Adams' "The City Grew Monsters" puts a cool spin on zombie stories, following little Maddy as she deals with the undead chaos in a San Diego skyscraper. It's a real nail-biter that'll keep you hooked, but it's also got some serious feels, making you wonder if the zombies are really the worst thing out there.

Housemaid's Wedding
by Freida McFadden
View in Library Catalog
book cover


There isn't much to this short story. It tells the story of Millie and Enzo's wedding day. Of course, Millie is getting death threats and there are strangers watching her. The Housemaid's Wedding is meant to take place between The Housemaid's Secret and The Housemaid is Watching. Maybe it has more impact if you have just read McFadden's Housemaid series. Really don't bother unless you love Millie.
