The Silver Eyes: Five Nights At Freddy’s (five Nights At Freddy’s Graphic Novel #1)
by Scott Cawthon
View in Library Catalog
book cover


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.

cicada summer
by Erica Mckeen
View in Library Catalog
book cover


5 stars If I was asked to describe this book it would be thought daughter and the lesbian version of “Call Me By Your Name,” but with more atmospheric longing, and the comparison of cicadas to life. And a grotesque reading of a book within a book. “Cicada Summer” being my first book I’ve read by Erica McKeen truly captures the feeling of the sun setting on a hot summer day, with the lone thoughts that I’ve felt during the pandemic (which is the timeframe this book is set in.) I also feel that if each of the stories in the book were actual novels, I would read and collect all of them because they’re actually really intriguing and added onto a sub-genre of horror. I look forward to reading more Erica McKeen and I thank Goodreads for an ARC copy in a giveaway!

Every Day Is A Gift
by Tammy Duckworth

book cover


Senator Tammy Duckworth's memoir is a gift to all of us who've never participated in United States military operations and never really understood the experiences of the many veterans of the US military around us. Wounded Warriors and their families have offered all of us an immense gift as United States citizens and military participants who support government initiatives they cannot control or choose. I was wowed at Tammy Duckworth's ongoing steely spirit and will to super-cede mortal bounds ! She is one who has come so close to dying and rehabbed back with that immense determination to succeed and brilliantly advocate for her colleagues, their families, who cannot self-advocate as well at this time. I wish I could share her steeled backbone! These warriors and their families deserve nothing more than Honor and Tammy Duckworth's memoir is amazingly inspirational to me...Wowed!

I know this is supposed to be a good book but I wasn't feeling it.

Captain America The New Deal Book 1
by John Reiber
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book was probably the grittiest comic book I've read to date. The need for a superhero like Captain America suddenly becomes very real in the days following 9/11 and the foreword at the beginning could not have prepared me for how good the story was.

An amazing story of sacrifice for love of country while dealing with multiple ideologies at a great cost of life while standing up to ethno-nationalism. A great legacy of anti-zionist Jewishness.

One of Us is Next is the sequel to the booktok-famous One of Us is Lying, alive and returned with a similar but different plot twisted off by the start of the trilogy. The town of Bayview in this novel is once again brimming with mischief right as the one from year's simmered down. This time, it starts with a simple well-known game of Truth and Dare, where students at Bayview are confined to two options, take the Dare or have a juicy Truth of theirs be made public to everyone they know. Once you start this next one by McMannus, you'll know why you always take the Dare.

Once gain the storyline climaxes and builds on from the previous books in the series. Without giving to much I would like to say that it keeps you surprised and amazed at the contents of its creative descriptive writing. I can imagine the story come to life.
