Raina Telgemeier took me back to the misery of Junior High and new braces! and this graphic novel/ memoir works just as well with women my age as with middle schoolers/junior high school students past in their middle aged years who might find, as I did, that all those feelings I remembered having at that time in my Life were shared! Raina's graphic novels for self-information even now as that middle aged woman - whose own daughter experienced a different middle grade years Life and still amazes me - my daughter in her 20's is legions beyond me even now!

Middletide

I really enjoyed Middletide which was my freebie book pick for signing up for the summer reading challenge. Middletide was hard to put down and I couldn’t wait to find out what really happened to Dr. Erin Landry. The author has a talent for suspense writing. I also appreciated the way she thoroughly described the land where Elijah Leith lived. It added to the accuracy of the story.

Open Water

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 Queen Of Nothing

book cover


Jude and Carden are amazing as always. I can't believe that Jude didn't see the "pardoned by the crown" trick the Carden set up. I started admiring him then. Taryn is such a bad sister and honestly Locke deserved to die like Valerian. Feel really bad for Heather though

Kill Joy
by Holly Jackson

book cover


This was a pretty short book, or novella, about the characters from A Good Girls Guide to Murder series where all of them are invited to a murder mystery dinner party. It was nice to see Pippa apply her detective skills to the game because it was just a game and so there was no pressure on her to actually solve it
