A Gathering Of Shadows
by V. E. Schwab
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A very adventurous second installment in the series. Lots of action coinciding with a fleshing out or established characters and introductions to new ones. The world of the series was also elaborated upon further enriching the story. A cliffhanger ending sets up the next book perfectly.

This was an interesting story, an uplifting one surrounding the devasation of 9/11. What an amazing group of townspeople in Gander, Newfoundland that opened their hearts and their homes to the passengers of all the planes that were diverted there when the US airspace was closed.

by Eleanor Roosevelt

book cover


This brief and concise essay persuades the reader to think about the ideas and values that we cherish as Americans. The former First Lady wrote, "Tomorrow Is Now" during the Cold War and the Civil Rights Movement, which forced Americans to consider what kind of country and world we want in the future. It remains relevant to our political moment.

The Secret Life of Sunflowers

This is one of those books where you should definitely not judge a book by its cover. I almost didn’t read it because it looked like a boring book about native Americans (not saying books about NA are boring…this just looked like it would be). It’s not boring and not about NA. It’s historical fiction about Vincent van Gogh’s sister in law, Jo, and her troubles and how she persevered to eventually get his works seen and appreciated world wide. It’s also about a fictional current-day woman and how she reads Jo’s diary and comes to learn about her and be inspired by her. It's a book that kept me reading, enjoying, and learning throughout.

Although this book took me a while to read, I loved it, and I can honestly say I was never bored once. LaRocca made it feel like a 2000s romcom in the best way possible. Reading this made me so happy because I want to be a journalist, and I love New York City, which is where this book takes place. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romance books.

Kill Joy

As a fangirl of the "A Good Girl's Guide to Murder" series, I absolutely adored this book. Initially, I expected the book to be a sequel to the series but only realized it was a prequel at the end. Throughout the story, I understood how Pip came to decide on her Capstone Project and it was an intriguing story filled with plot twists and hidden clues. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book and thank you, Holly Jackson, for writing this masterpiece.

Author Leila Mottley carved this novel out with real time experience. I recommend this book for the reader who wants to divert their mind from day to day stress. It was a heart crushing experience reading this novel. It is a worthwhile rad for any person looking for more courage and humility.

Princess Jellyfish

I completed my first manga as part of Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge. And, I have to say, I enjoyed it! There were a lot of Japanese cultural concepts that were unfamiliar to me, but the footnotes and endnotes helped a lot. I didn't realize manga were read back to front either, so that was a little hard to get used to but was routine by the end of the book. I'm not sure I'll continue with manga, but I'm glad the challenge exposed me to something different! It was nice that the characters were single women with passions that society deemed unusual.
