The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes (a Hunger Games Novel)
by Suzanne Collins
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This prequel offers a fascinating look at a well-known character's early life, revealing unexpected layers to his motivations. However, I found it challenging to fully connect with him, as his selfishness often overshadowed any redeeming traits.

Wrong Place, Wrong Time
by Gillian McAllister

book cover


Although I typically enjoy time travel novels, I wasn’t a fan of this one. It was convoluted and disconnected at times. The character development of the minor characters was weak. At least four times I had to search for characters mentioned to find out their significance to the storyline. I read to the end -I’m not a quitter - but it was a disappointing read for me.

book cover


To be honest, I was expecting a lot more out of the book because of how famous it is. It ended up just being about a boy who accidentally ended up being the "best friend" of a kid who killed himself. All because of a letter he wrote. I understand the overall message of the book was much more than the story, yet I still couldn't let go of the fact that I didn't really connect with it as well as I hoped to. It was a quick read, so I was thankful, but I am still disappointed.

This is a well-written book for youth to help them understand the honor of being a soldier, and how they serve their country. It shows their bravery and courage in difficult and dangerous situations.

Ben Packard is the new Alex Cross. This story has great twists & turns just like James Patterson books.

The Do-Over

book cover


This boon was so adorable! I love Lynn Painter books, and this one was no different. The trope is a bit unoriginal, but the way Lynn writes the main character's mentality about it makes up for the cliché.

How The King Of Elfhame Learned To Hate Stories
by Holly Black

book cover


A collection of short, heartwarming tales about Cardan and his life before and after the events of The Folk of the air series. I loved seeing Cardans perspective as it showing his cunning and mischievous thought process. It is also cool to see how he began to think about Jude way back when they were kids. It never really made sense to me before but now I get it. Although, it was really sad to see how Cardan was raised in such a neglectful household, very different from Judes.

The Storm

Fast paced read, I really liked it. Little bit of murder mystery, good characters, some back and forth between past and present.

Karen's Sleepover: A Graphic Novel (baby-sitters Little Sister #8)
by Ann M. Martin
View in Library Catalog
book cover


In this book it's Karen's birthday. She is so excited to open all of her presents. She even gets two parties, one at her Dad's house and one at her Mom's house. Though the only thing that Karen really wanted for her birthday was to have one big party. One with her whole family and not two desperate parties.

Long Way Down
by Jason Reynolds

book cover


A powerful, gut-punching novel in verse that tackles gun violence and the cycle of revenge. Reynolds' raw, poetic storytelling and the book's unique elevator-ride structure make for an intense, thought-provoking read .
