Conclave
by Robert Harris
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Although I knew a little about the process of electing a new pope, this book filled in a lot of the blanks. It really portrayed the Cardinals as men who are not perfect but doing their best. Some were ambitious, others questioned their inability to make the right decision, some feeling doubts and lacking in their prayers. It keeps your attention to the end.

Excellent suspense novel where one of the victims had become involved in a sick kidnapping game, not realizing it was feeding a real kidnapper. This book kept me hanging on until the last chapter.

Those you work with and trust can help you or hurt you out of jealousy. Picking up pieces and finding out what you really want is what sets the stage as you write the acts.

Loved this book. It was about a scandal that destroyed her parents' marriage, drove her and her two sisters apart, and crushed her relationship with her first love.

Her daughter is desperate to go; she is fatherless and craves family and longs to get to know her grandfather.

This short story is about a young woman who experiences a groundhog day effect until she realizes that sometimes you just can't change fate.

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.

Chainsaw Man, Vol. 6

Once again the books are not falling short; my parents have been reading it with us and the drama with fantasy has us engaged plus they want to make sure it is kept appropriate. It is better detailed than a television series which is great for improving my vocabulary.

The Prisoner's Throne
by Holly Black

book cover


Just as amazing as the last one. The ending was pretty good and it doesn't leave me too desperate for a third book. there was a few plot holes that will most likely be more traveled if she ever makes a third book. Such as The Ghost being a tree, and the whole plot line with Nicasia and the Undersea. Holly Black never misses.
