Open Water
by Caleb Azumah Nelson
View in Library Catalog
book cover


5 stars This book is intimate, it feels like falling in love with another person. It feels as if you’re looking into a painting to decipher the full meaning. This book shows the struggles of not only masculinity, but the masculinity of the Black body. The struggles the community goes through and how our men and boys have to have an outlook on it. But in the midst of police brutality and racism: there is still love for each other. The love between our main characters is unmatched. There is longing, anger, tears and forgiveness; a book that left a lasting impression on me, feeling like a nostalgic summer afternoon.

The Fourth Closet is wild, dark, and full of shocking twists. It dives deep into identity, grief, and the terrifying truth behind the animatronics. Just when you think it’s over, it pulls you back in. A creepy, emotional, and intense end to the trilogy.

A great story about the Angelhart family, a family of private investigators, the family dynamics and 3 of the cases they were investigating. The stories are interesting, fast paced, and keep you guessing. The end has closure to each case so you are not left hanging.

Elsie is one of my favorite authors. This is the first book in the Chestnut Springs series, and I find this particular series to be very entertaining and heartfelt. Rhett and Summer, along with the whole Eaton clan, will make your heart swoon! Especially the patriarch of the family, Harvey Eaton. We need some more Harveys on this planet.

I reread this book after about a year because the way that the author presents the main character. Augustus Pullman was a wonderfully written character that truly made the story better. The multiple points of view showed how he was adjusting as well as everyone else

In this book it's Karen's birthday. She is so excited to open all of her presents. She even gets two parties, one at her Dad's house and one at her Mom's house.

Out of the whole series, I think this one is my favorite. It's about an Eaton brother named Beau, who was a soldier for the Canadian military. The whole series is based in Canada by the way. On his last mission, Beau suffered an injury that basically ended his prestigious military career. Now that he is home, it feels like Beau has no idea what to do with himself. Until he decides to help Bailey Jansen, a girl whose only crime is to be related to criminals. Not many people in town are nice to Bailey, and Beau makes the best decision of his life by helping her.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the fifth book in the series. In this book it is Harry Potter's fifth year at Hogwarts. Harry has to face many challenges in his fifth year.

A survivor from a concentration camp stumbles onto his property and Bertie takes it upon himself to help this young man successfully transvest so that he can successfully live amongst the people without being targeted since it was considered a crime.

Was a sweet romance novel but it just didn't strike me as anything special.
