The Death Archives
by Jorn "Necrobutcher" Stubberud
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Four stars purely due to personal enjoyment. Quite light on heavy duty information; more-so a ‘behind the scenes’ book with anecdotes, insight, and lots of photography relating to Mayhem’s early days. (For me, the photography was the best part. Good quality, good paper, full one- or two-page spreads.) Stubberud has a habit of lying or embellishing, though, so I wouldn’t give a full four stars especially when it comes to the potential ‘padding’ added in when discussing his apparent reconciliation with Aarseth… Overall, a ‘coffee table’ book for people already familiar with Mayhem.

I enjoyed the small-town feel and the magical elements, but I found the plot pretty predictable. The characters were well-written & I like the coziness of the setting. (book shop and café) I recommended this book to my mom.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Raina Telgemeir books and this one was no exception. Even though it was a very simple story, I loved experiencing Cat grow into her new town and get more comfortable with their obsessed with ghosts. This was an easy, fun read and I loved it.

Did not enjoy this book. Seemed to have been written with an agenda for climate change, and the two teenage sisters were disrespectful and crass. From the mother of the children to fellow scientists, the characters were one dimensional and were often ineffectual.

Rules for Rule Breaking

book cover


The story was quite nice. But I wish the author gave a little backstory or focused on the intellectual abilities of Bobby and Winter more, if they are “geniuses.” Also, the romance between them felt rushed. How did they start liking each other so quickly if they’ve literally hated each other for their entire lives?

by Eleanor Roosevelt

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.
