I Who Have Never Known Men
by Jacqueline Harpman
View in Library Catalog
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!

Death On The Nile
by Agatha Christie
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Death On The Nile by Agatha Christie is a superb book with numerous twists and turns. It demonstrates an incredible plot, diverse and unique characters, and the sense of being trapped with the killer. It also utilizes third-person narrative in a very satisfying way, allowing us to know what the characters are thinking yet also not spoil the ending. However, the story has a very long exposition, taking up a good portion of the book, and a shorter (yet still long) "falling action/conclusion" taking up a small section of the book. In summation, this well-made book with an incredible plot is great for readers, as long as they have some patience.

Sisters

This is such a classic read and I enjoyed every single second of this book. I loved that it was based off of actually sisters so the events were definitely likely to happen in real life. I related to a lot of their arguments especially since I have a sister myself, although we are twins.

This enchanting fantasy novel invites readers into a world where a young boy discovers a mysterious orphanage filled with children possessing peculiar abilities. As he unravels the secrets of their existence and confronts hidden dangers, the story explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle against societal norms, all enhanced by haunting vintage photographs that add a unique visual element to the narrative. The blend of adventure, mystery, and emotional depth makes it a compelling read for both young adults and older audiences alike.

** 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.

Kingdom of Ash

Wow - what a fiery ending for Fireheart. This series had the best story telling, character development, and arcs that I have seen in a long time. It is SJM’s best work yet! Aelin and Rowan guide us through insane end of world moments, and you fall deeply in love with each character. This ending allows us to understand each characters’ personal background and eventually it all comes together with the finale. I felt like I was part of the battle, and rooting for Aelin and her court on every page. The different perspectives add such layers to the storytelling it was impeccable.

Great summer read. Takes place in Rehobath Delaware. I’ve vacationed there and some parts of book bring memories of Rehobath. Book is about loss, love, and new beginnings.
