We'll Always Have Summer
by Jenny Han
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I didn't read the first two books in this series, but as I am currently watching The Summer I turned Pretty, I wanted to read this book and see how it ends! Love triangle where young woman is torn between two brothers - which one will she end up with? I was frustrated with the main character but overall liked the book.

The Striker

book cover


Asher Donovan and Scarlett Dubois? Whew. Their dynamic in The Striker is the perfect storm—dangerous chemistry, emotional restraint, and undeniable pull. Asher is intense and calculating, used to control, while Scarlett is elegance laced with steel, never one to be outmaneuvered. Together, they’re fire and friction—two powerful people trying not to fall, but falling anyway. It’s not just spice—it’s a slow unraveling of pride, pain, and real connection.

The Cuban Affair

1.5 star rating Honestly I was hoping I would’ve liked this book but it got too repetitive and dragged on for too long. I stopped at chapter 48. The characters were good and the humor was also good, but the story felt all over the place and felt like it strayed away from the plot. Sometimes it felt like there wasn’t a plot at all. Not really the best first book I’ve read by this author, but I’m willing to give another book a go.

One of the Boys

I love the premise! It's very unique, it defies stereotypes and clichés. This has a very diverse cast of characters, as well. I'm happy to see more diversity and intersectionality in YA books. I also appreciate that there wasn't a romance subplot shoe-horned in. There was a little bit of romance, but in a way that naturally fit into this as a queer coming of age story. That being said, it was clear that this was a debut, especially judging by the dialogue, which often came off sounding clunky. The writing style didn't always flow smoothly. That just means that author has room to grow! I'd be interested to see what she writes next.

Chainsaw Man, Vol. 6

Once again the books are not falling short; my parents have been reading it with us and the drama with fantasy has us engaged plus they want to make sure it is kept appropriate. It is better detailed than a television series which is great for improving my vocabulary.

I Who Have Never Known Men
by Jacqueline Harpman

book cover


Well that was bleak!! Not like, Cormac McCarthy bleak, but desolate enough. In the future or the past, 39 women and one teen girl find themselves captive in an underground bunker, with little memory of how they got there. This is dystopian scifi, and going in you should be aware that no, you won't be getting any answers about What Happened or Why, but that's not what it's about. At no point did I know where it was going, but I enjoyed it. Idk, read it or don't? It's short!

** Make sure to read "What Moves the Dead" first. This book is a sequel.** What a fun book; it is a quick read (I finished it in a day). but it is definitely a story that sticks with you. There is enough mystery to keep you guessing until the last page and enough of a creepy air about it to keep a chill going down your spine the whole way through. Can't wait to read more from this author, especially in their delightfully creepy universe that they've created.

Pretty good start to a sequel, will say. If you enjoyed the first comic series, time to start the new one!

Lords Of Chaos
by Michael Moynihan

book cover


Interesting; extensive, but in the wrong ways. Mediocre recap of the roots of metal as a whole, entertaining recounting of the Norwegian black metal scene in its glory years, and a dawdling, trailing end that paid too much lip service to examining Varg Vikernes’ ideologies and right-wing ideals connected to the black metal scene as a whole (or not; there was an excessive amount of unrelated tangents).

Fun summer read I’m excited to read the rest of the series
