5 stars “And no one, nobody on this earth, would list her daughter’s characteristics on the animal side of the paper…She felt she had to convince, that what she had done was right because it came from true love.” pg. 296 Though in the beginning might seem to be a slower read, once you really get into the book, you’ll find collective trauma and love of each and every character. Trauma creates fear, which in turn creates love. The trauma of slavery: being seen as an animal and the set monitary value placed on not only yourself, but other Black people; the fear of slave hunters and klan members coming after you to lynch, burn or kill in other horrific ways; And if not to kill—to dirty your soul and mind. The fear of: Being haunted by the ghosts (both living and dead) from your past; The child that roams the halls in rage of death, but the love of: doing anything for your children, even if it means taking matters into your own hands; slowly opening the tin box that conceals your heart; finally stepping off those porch steps to ask for help, to feel the embrace of another being. For my second Toni Morrison book, this was a great read. I agree wholeheartedly with the statement that Morrison’s books are all about love, especially for Black people and our community.

I rate this book 5 stars because it was just as good as the first one. This book brought more depth to each of the characters stories and you find out way more about their interesting pasts. I also never anticipated the ending, just like the first book.

Mad Mabel
by Sally Hepworth
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A light read about a woman who was accused of being “mad” and a murderer her whole life. The book flips between present and past as we learn her story. Heartwarming in a “A Man Called Ove” way, with a mystery that also keeps you reading.

The Sixth Wicked Child

book cover


I’m not sure what I think. This is the 3rd in a 3 part series. I loved the series about a serial killer. It kept me interested and wanting to read. The chapters were very short so I’d say, “One more chapter” and keep reading. But there were so many characters, I had to take notes to keep track. And I’m just not so sure about the ending. I kind of want to reread the whole series quickly to see if the ending really worked. It was a 5 book throughout, until I got to the end

The busybody bookclu

The book was a light read and the plots lacked interest. Very small town with handful of people which made me think they were all inside a studio or imaginary town. The writing lacked visual imagery and description didnot stay with me for long. A quick one for the summer.

Fahrenheit 451

I understand why people call this book a classic and a masterpiece. An important, although a difficult, story to read about a dystopian future where books are burned simply for existing.

This book was amazingly hilarious. I laughed out loud so many times and i would also read this again. If i were to recommend any kind of book to someone id recommend this one. I want to read the rest now because it wasn’t as childish as i imagined it would be.
