The Breakaway
by Jennifer Weiner
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Another Jennifer Weiner book that does not disappoint! I loved the setting where the bike ride takes place (NY State) and Philly and NJ mentioned. A well-written story that has serious subject matter - a woman's struggle with self-image and also the topic of abortion. Loved it!

Intense drama for a teen boy who is introvert. Kept me engaged and enthusiastic to keep reading and finding out what happens next. I can’t wait to see if I finish the saga.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is the fourth book in the series. In this book it is Harry Potter's fourth year at Hogwarts. He is chosen to be a competitor for the Triwizard Tournament. The Triwizard Tournament is a competition for wizards between three different wizard schools. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

Obvious debut; not a bad thing, but it does feel a bit less refined in its grit. Maybe my fault rather than the book’s as I read it sporadically over the course of a month. Will always love and appreciate his writing style above all else.

I love this author! i always think her books should be rated higher than they are. This was a really interesting concept, but I wish the ending wasn't so rushed after they are saved.

Escape Velocity

book cover


This title was not to my liking. I didn't feel any of the characters were likeable or at all sympathetic, though many were pathetic. It seemed to me that it couldn't decide what it wanted to be, a murder mystery or a revolutionary theme. Because of this each aspect was handled with a rather heavy hand and with little real affect. After all the build up throughout the story the ending was a big flop. None of it worked for this reader!

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.

Kaleidoscope
by Cecily Wong
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Cecily Wong's "Kaleidoscope" is a poignant and introspective exploration of grief, friendship, and self-discovery, told through the lens of a young woman grappling with the sudden loss of her best friend. Through lyrical prose and a non-linear narrative that mimics the fractured nature of memory, Wong crafts a moving portrait of the ways in which loss can reshape our understanding of ourselves and those we love.
