The Silver Eyes: Five Nights At Freddy’s (five Nights At Freddy’s Graphic Novel #1)
by Scott Cawthon
View in Library Catalog
book cover


The Silver Eyes pulls you into a dark, twisted story that mixes childhood trauma with deadly mystery. It’s creepy, suspenseful, and keeps you on edge. The past won’t stay buried, and the truth behind Freddy’s is worse than anyone expected. I couldn’t stop reading.
Cleopatra And Frankenstein
by Coco Mellors
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A compelling exploration of modern love and its complexities through the story of Cleo and Frank, an unlikely couple whose whirlwind romance leads to an impulsive marriage. Set against the backdrop of New York City's vibrant art scene, the narrative delves into themes of cultural displacement, addiction, and mental health with lyrical prose and keen insight. While the pacing can be uneven at times, Mellors excels in crafting nuanced, flawed characters whose decisions ripple through their social circles, creating a rich tapestry of interconnected lives. "Cleopatra and Frankenstein" is a promising debut that showcases Mellors' talent for dissecting the intricacies of relationships and the human psyche in contemporary society.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second book in the series. In this book Harry Potter goes to his second year at Hogwarts. An elf comes to visit Harry to tell him that he should not return to Hogwarts that year. Warning him that his second year at Hogwarts would be trouble. I enjoyed reading this book and would rate it a five.

Enjoyed this. A well woven, multi-year, multi-generational mystery that kept me guessing until the end.

Long Live Evil

This is the most conflicted I've been about a book in a while. It was sooo confusing and boring at times, and then it would spike and get really good, and I'd think I was finally tuned in.....and then it would do a 180. I have been spoiled by isekai books where the MC is smart and adjusts to the world, and Rae was meant to be the opposite of that (and I get it, its fun and fresh and relatable). But it was just too frustrating at times. Don't call yourself a villainess when you're just a nuisance. But the ending was great, so I WILL in fact be reading the whole series..... Don't judge me, everyone would have folded for the funny sidekick turned evil Emperor...
Happy Place

This one hit me in my feelings - its tender, nostalgic and quietly heartbreaking in the best way. The second chance romance between Harriet & Wyn felt so real, like watching two people try to hold on to something beautiful that's slowly slipping away. I loved the found family vibe, the messy emotions, and how it reminded me that love isn't always loud - sometimes it's small steady moments.

Woman, Eating

4.5 stars I found this book to be very relateable in a sense. The way how Lydia, or Lyd, would view herself, based on her mother’s views. How she tries to grow from that experience, but still finds ways to go back to old habits. There’s something about the way Lydia thinks. It reminds me of myself. Even the way she was assssing Ben in the beginning of the book was so me. Smooth and perverse in a sense. Aware to details. The was she describes people, like Ben for instance, is an intimate yet sickly sweet way that adds onto the experience of this book. Her akwardness is also a familiar feeling, being out of place and not knowing how to piece your feelings…The way she views her art and how it relates to her trying to find her human side through the demon is another interesting element. The way Lydia just describes the feel and sensuality of human skin and blood is so intimate, and disgusting but beautiful at the same time. My only reason I’m rating this 4.5 stars instead of 5 is that I wish there was more detail or background to be fleshed out in certain parts. One thing I have in mind was Gideon and her interactions with him. But overall I’d recommend this book to anyone.
The Country Of The Blind

I liked the concept of this book, which wove the author's research on blindness and the disability activism movement with his own personal story about losing his eyesight gradually due to a congenital disease. I appreciated portions of this book - some of the anecdotes were interesting and helped me better understand the perspective of someone who is living with low vision. But, at the same time, this was a story of a white, male, wealthy, heretofore able-bodied person adjusting to losing vision. Don't get me wrong - the author did a good job acknowledging his privilege of being in this scenario, but as someone who has read other books about disability, I didn't find the narrative as compelling. Probably harsh to say, but I didn't connect with the narrative as much as I would have thought. 2.5 stars.
