Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
by Ransom Riggs
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I had a blast reading this book about a quirky group of eco-warriors who take on industrial destruction in the American wilderness. The characters are a wild mix of personalities, and their outrageous antics make for a fun and engaging ride. With a blend of humor and serious environmental themes, it’s a thought-provoking read that really gets you thinking about the lengths people will go to for a cause they believe in.

The Catcher In The Rye

5 stars I never understood how people never liked this book; I begged my dad to get it for me. Now my friends say they hate it since all Holden ever does is cry, curse and complain. But that’s the point. That’s what life makes you do. Of course you can always find ways to pick it back up or reminisce in good times (which Holden does at certain points of the novel) but life is shit, you just gotta find the goddamn good in it. Two quotes that really stuck out to me: “Goddamn money. It always ends up making you blue as hell.” pg. 147 “Just because somebody’s dead, you don’t just stop liking them, for God’s sake — especially if they were a thousand times nicer than the people you know that’re alive and all” pg. 223

The Silver Eyes pulls you into a dark, twisted story that mixes childhood trauma with deadly mystery. It’s creepy, suspenseful, and keeps you on edge. The past won’t stay buried, and the truth behind Freddy’s is worse than anyone expected. I couldn’t stop reading.

5 stars Every page had something going on, having me at the edge of my seat. Many twists and turns and jaw dropping moments that kept me holding on till the end of the ride. By far I personally think this is the best book in the Harry Potter series.

This Could Be Us
by Kennedy Ryan

book cover


I loved this read. This book had me hooked from the first chapter. I can truly say that Kennedy Ryan has provided something so special and beautiful for women of color through this book and has further opened the door for the inclusion of neurodiverse/autistic characters. This story made me laugh, cry(multiple times), feel seen, understood and as a hopeless romantic, has opened my mind to being content with loving myself wholly without relying on love from others. I would love to see this story turned into a movie, it is amazing!

I remember reading the original by Ann M Martin as a kid. Graphic novel, a nice way to get new readers to this great series. This one was about Jessi And how she learns that signing is a lot like dancing because she learns sign language in order to work for customer who has a deaf child. It also includes the mom talking about deaf culture bit, and how while some may want their children hearing aids were learn how to speak or red lips not everybody can.

Flawless

Elsie is one of my favorite authors. This is the first book in the Chestnut Springs series, and I find this particular series to be very entertaining and heartfelt. Rhett and Summer, along with the whole Eaton clan, will make your heart swoon! Especially the patriarch of the family, Harvey Eaton. We need some more Harveys on this planet.

Hopeless

Out of the whole series, I think this one is my favorite. It's about an Eaton brother named Beau, who was a soldier for the Canadian military. The whole series is based in Canada by the way. On his last mission, Beau suffered an injury that basically ended his prestigious military career. Now that he is home, it feels like Beau has no idea what to do with himself. Until he decides to help Bailey Jansen, a girl whose only crime is to be related to criminals. Not many people in town are nice to Bailey, and Beau makes the best decision of his life by helping her.
