The Museum Of Failures
by Thrity Umrigar
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is my second novel by this author, and I liked both, although I prefer Honor (the first book of hers I read.) I thought this one was a little bit too long, and better pacing and a more likeable title character would have bumped up my rating. Things tied up a little too neatly for me in this story.

Howdunit: A Masterclass In Crime Writing By Members Of The Detection Club
by Martin Edwards

Though at times long winded and repetitive, this book is a good read for anyone interested in crime writing. Giving insights from masters of the art, it's worth reading through even if you aren't essentially interested in crime writing itself, but writing in general.

The Cruel Prince

Started this book after I saw a lot of signs, my Goodreads, fyp, and friends recommended it to me. Honestly this book is AMAZING and amazing written. How Jude is such a girl boss and is not afraid to go up against her father to gain power and status in a world where she, as a woman and mortal, is seen as the lowest

Wrong Place Wrong Time

book cover


Although I usually enjoy a novel on time travel, I was not a fan of this one. The story was convoluted and disconnected. The character lines were poorly developed, in particular for the minor characters. On four separate occasions, I had to go back in the book to rediscover the minor characters and to figure out their significance to the storyline. Although I read to the end, because I never quit a book mid-way, it was a disappointing read for me.

Karen's Sleepover: A Graphic Novel (baby-sitters Little Sister #8)
by Ann M. Martin

In this book Karen had gotten glasses. She does not want to wear them and especially for school pictures. A boy at school named Ricky started to make fun of her glasses. Names such as "Owl Girl" and "Googly Eyes". I really enjoyed reading this book and I would rate it five stars.

honestly, this book wasn't as bad as I thought it would be AT ALL. I actually read about 200 pages when I first got it then forgot about it because I wanted to read other books. I finished the rest of it (the book was 506 pages long) in about 2 days because it went by so fast. I loved this book and will definitely read the sequel.

Spaceman Of Bohemia
by Jaroslav Kalfar

book cover


This book was definitely an interesting read. I picked this up after watching Spaceman (2024) with Adam Sandler, which was based on this book. Do not let the fact Adam Sandler is in it deceive you, this story is not all, if any, laughs. The story is a deep dive into a solo astronaut on an 8 month mission away from home, and how those decisions effect him and the people he loves. Also, there is a giant alien spider. I enjoyed the first half of the book a lot more than I enjoyed the second, and if I ever re-read it I think I would just read till that point. I don'r regret having finished it though.

Sisters: A Graphic Novel
by Raina Telgemeier

book cover


The book Sisters is a follow up from her other book smile. The book is about a long summer family vacation. They were taking a trip from San Francisco to Colorado. It is all about Reina and her younger sister Amara and their sisterly relationship. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

The Wicked King

In the last book, Jude tricked Carden into becoming king while Oak stays in the mortal world and learns how to become not like Madoc. In this book, I think Carden loves being a puppet for Jude and starts to fall in love with her as the story goes on.
