Butcher & Blackbird
by Brynne Weaver
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I cant get enough! This is my first time reading Brynne Weaver and I am hooked. Who knew serial killers could fall in love? This first book of The Ruinous Love Trilogy will have you gagging (if you are squeamish) and laughing all at the same time. You will fall in love with Sloane (her artistic webs will catch your eye <- pun intended) and Rowan. I was intrigued by the trigger warnings at the beginning and I am still enjoying the shared playlist. Fun fact: I started following Brynne on Instagram and recently found out that they have signed up for a movie based on this book!! cant wait!

Behind closed doors

Not as thrilling as I’d hoped for. There was so much building up, but no action that was ever noteworthy. Was not my cup of tea.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
by J. K. Rowling

book cover


This continuation of the Harry Potter series is what I would describe as critically acclaimed. As the series is world-wide known and praised, here's my two cents. I believe that this book beholds the same whimsical theme as the first! The descriptive craftsmanship of Rowling is what gave me clear depictions of what went on at all times. I like the lack of slow, sloggish chapters, and find the conflict (no spoilers!) a major part of it's plot-driven swiftness. Here's one warning: Once you start the chronicles of Harry Potter, you'll be seeking to check the next book out!

Emma On Fire

Book was good and a quick read. Probably for a more younger audience as it takes place in high school. You can’t go wrong with James Patterson.

Love song
by Elle Kennedy

book cover


Love Song by Elle Kennedy was a decent and enjoyable read. The romance and chemistry between the characters were good, and the writing was easy to follow. However, some parts felt predictable, and the story moved a little slowly at times. Overall, it was a nice light romance, but not my favorite by the author. I’d rate it 3 out of 5 stars.

Have You Seen Luis Velez?
by Catherine Ryan Hyde

book cover


3.5 stars. This was a beautiful story about intergenerational friendship that reflected the goodness (and evil) in our world. It touched on the themes of racism, sexuality, and how we form our chosen families. Just when I thought I knew what this story was about, it revealed another dimension. Simple prose but a powerful message.

A Rose For Emily

A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner is a haunting Southern Gothic tale of isolation, control, and resistance to change. Faulkner’s nonlinear storytelling builds suspense, revealing a chilling portrait of Emily Grierson’s tragic life and twisted legacy.

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!

Difficult Daughters
by Manju Kapoor

It's a powerful story about woman's search for independence, for finding an entity and desire to be educated. It is a gripping novel set in the days before the partition of India.
