The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook
by Matt Dinniman
View in Library Catalog
book cover


The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook was by far the most tedious read of my summer so far. Given that I'm not really into RPGs in general, it made me take several breaks in between in order to absorb the material moreso than usual. I enjoyed the last chapter the most with the bickering between Odette and one of the Kua-Tin.

I don't give five stars easily, especially one and nonfiction. This book was an excellent read. extremely well written, worth a 10 hours of listening to.

SUMMER IN THE CITY

book cover


Summer in the City is the perfect summer read. The familiar NYC places made it fun, and page 126 made me lol. Elle, who was raised by a single mother, has her preconceptions about love and money... they don't mix. This read is sweet, funny and steamy.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

this was one of the best books i've read in a long time. all the characters were realistic and understandable, and the writing was really good. I was somewhat expecting it to be unnecessarily philosophical for some reason but actually, it was very meaningful.

Give-A-Damn Jones

Very impressive and intriguing novel from cover to cover. Each chapter was short, and the narrator/POV switched with each chapter, making it easy to read. I thoroughly enjoyed the unique protagonist's western journey and uncommon job, and how his moniker came to fruition. I will look for more books by this author in the future.

Don’t Be In Love

This book was AMAZING!!! The love story was so cute!!! The reason I took away one star is because of the best friends, James and Sabrina. I’m not going to lie, they both kind of annoyed me and didn’t help the story. However, besides them this was an amazing read!

A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel
by Madeleine L'Engle

book cover


Kirkus reviewed, "A faithfully adapted graphic novel of the beloved 1962 classic, just in time to celebrate its 50th anniversary...(published in 2012)... With a keen eye, Eisner Award winner Larson (Mercury, 2010) doesn't stray a moment from L'Engle's original text...." (My previous review was erased when I hit the wrong key! Darn fingers!) Now, I have to re-read the original L'Engle novel - which I loved as a child in elementary school. And then there are so many movie versions! (some I hear are very disappointing...) and then...and ....TBD! (The downside of working in a Library/ Candy store? or Bakery?....I used to want to literally EAT poems and books and....reading cover to cover makes the imagery vivid but....)

still beating

This book is a roller coaster of emotions. I cannot imagine ever finding myself in the situation that Cora and Dean found themselves in. You would definitely need to take a few minutes every couple of chapters just to process what happened. I definitely recommend this book!!

The Adventures Of Pinocchio
by Carlo Collodi
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This remains the original manuscript, penned in 1883 by Carlo Lorezzizi ( aka C.Collodi), which inspired the 1940 animated Disney masterpiece. Delightfully written with rich details of Italian provincial life, this book significantly differs from its whimsical cinematic counterpart in both tone and characterizations; however, youngsters of all ages will surely enjoy this simple tale of a mischievous wooden marionette whose growing appreciation of his father Gepetto's love, transforms him into his real-life son. *For those parents who cherish bed-time storytelling for their children, a word of caution is advised; some chapters are graphic in both violence and dark imagery, and literary discretion is necessary for the very young sleepy set toddlers.*

One By One

One by One is the first book I've read by Freida McFadden. Its written in the first person. The story involves 3 couples who embark on a camping trip to a resort in the woods. Their vehicle breaks down enroute and one by one people just start disappearing. The plo gos back and forth. I did not care for the author's writing style.
