The Unhoneymooners
by Christina Lauren

book cover


Cute and had me smiling with some of the dialogue. Hated the voice of the male character (Ethan) but thankfully it was only the end.

The book Aliens in Disguise is about two kids named David and Amy. The grandmother owns a bed and breakfast called the Intergalactic Bed & Breakfast. It's a place where aliens can go for vacation on Earth. Their grandmother has to go away and they are in charge of the bed & breakfast. They have to make sure that nobody finds out that there are aliens staying there. I rate this book as five stars. It was a great read and definitely recommend.

Truly Madly Guilty

Truly Madly Guilty was a good book. It started out slow, then there were a few good twists that I never saw coming. The ending was really good. I love that Sam and Clementine are working on their marriage.

The Do-Over

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.

The Song Of Achilles

5 stars (if I could give it more, I would) This book truly helps me understand why people wish they could read a book for the the first time again. I read this back in 2021-ish and was moved by this story; and still am to this day. But in 2024 I feel like I really dissect this book. The sweet writing of Madeline Miller, every word not wasted and every line like honey. This book is a perfect summer read as well for it’s beautiful scene descriptions: both in safety and peril. The way this book tugs at your heart; the love between Patroclus and Achilles is such a beautiful story of love, friendship and oaths to those you stay loyal to.

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....)

Let Me Hold You
by Alexandria House

book cover


This one is passionate, complicated, and messy in the best way. There’s a lot of heat, but it also unpacks real stuff—fatherhood, identity, emotional growth. You’ll want to yell at the characters and root for them at the same time. A spicy, grown-folk rollercoaster you’ll be glad you rode.

The Sheltering Sky
by Paul Bowles

book cover


This novel tells the tragic love story of an American couple who are traveling across North Africa. There is action,peril and the clash of values between travelers and locals. It is a warning about the ignorance of cultures that are alien to Americans. Be aware of dated language.

Tupac Shakur
by Staci Robinson

book cover


5 stars The biography of Tupac was an experience. Growing up I listened to Tupac and other old school rappers, but I never really knew much of their in depth life. I loved reading this to get a better insight on how Tupac’s family and friends viewed him: and outspoke young Black man who was a wonderful artist. He cared so much for my community and always wanted the best for it; especially coming from a family of Panthers. After reading this, I need to read Assata and Afeni’s autobiography: I feel like the experience would be even greater to view from a much closer relatives lenses.

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.
