Chainsaw Man Volume 12 delivers a bold and gripping start as a part 2. High schooler Asa uneasy blend of teenage angst and her devil power brings fresh tension. The new characters, dark stakes, and a momentum that hooks hard brutal, weird, and utterly compelling.

I Love the perspective of this women in the American Revolutionary War period! And the format as if a graphic novel or comic strip, imbued with so many BTW historical facts! Just a lot of Historical Factual Fun! Thanks again Ms Laurie Halse Anderson!

If you have watched the Off Canpus series this is the book for the show! I watched the show first which I loved. The book was good, but not fully impressed in comparison to the show. The ending gets a little better, but I am going to continue with the series.

This is an awesome series! Her books are very humorous and insightful. This one is about a girl who was friendly with her brother's best friend and how that friendship and trust was broken in one night. Now, they are both in college and on the football team together. Yes, you read that right. The young woman is a kicker for the team. It's a really good book!!

Paddle Your Own Canoe
by Nick Offerman

book cover


Expected more about Offerman's time at Parks and Rec, but most of the book centered around his childhood and early years in acting. From someone who is such a funny actor I expected a humorous memoir, but found that the writing style wasn't very comical, at least not in my taste.

Confessions of a Prarie Bitch
by Alison Arngrim
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I read this quite a long time ago, but when I listened to it--that was the magic. Alison Arngrim played Nellie Oleson on Little House on the Prarie (the Michael Landon TV show). This is about her life, her life on the set, and how she became an activist. It is seriously funny as hell sometimes. Other times you want to hold the child she was and comfort her. I highly recommend this book but I SERIOUSLY recommend it on audio.

Ms Marvel Vol 5 Super Famous
by G Willow Wilson

This book very accurately captured the feeling of trying (and failing) to be too many different people. Kamala goes through so many challenges on so many different fronts in her life, and the way she tackles them is very relatable. Also, I liked the Loki cameo.

And Then There Were None 75th Anniversary Edition
by Agatha Christie
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Iselin Book Club Book. My 1st Agatha Christie book. I know that this is a classic, maybe I have read to many books that are similar to it (possibly based on it) - a group of strangers are stranded / stuck/ locked in a hotel/ airplane/ cottage or on an island but I found this to be just so-so. The mystery was good - I wasn't sure until the end exactly how it all was played out. But, it bothered me that every other line was "he said," she said." I listened to this on audiobook so maybe it was more pronounced than it would be if I had been reading the print version of the book. I just thought Agatha Chrisitie was the OG mystery writer - so I expected more from her.
