Smile: A Graphic Novel
by Raina Telgemeier
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Raina Telgemeier took me back to the misery of Junior High and new braces! and this graphic novel/ memoir works just as well with women my age as with middle schoolers/junior high school students past in their middle aged years who might find, as I did, that all those feelings I remembered having at that time in my Life were shared! Raina's graphic novels for self-information even now as that middle aged woman - whose own daughter experienced a different middle grade years Life and still amazes me - my daughter in her 20's is legions beyond me even now!

Dork Diaries 15

I love this book and how the mood keeps on changing. I am sad the main character did not have a romantic time with Brandon. Mackenize is a backstabber by first being kind to her for saving her life and then she steals the dress which she did not fully pay for. Great book!

Believe Me

the last book of tahereh mafi's shatter me series, I just reread it. Aaron Warner IS the standard and Juliette/Ella is so loving and an amazing main character. i love this whole universe and the characters so so so much, I can't even describe it. the only bad part was that Aaron was acting really rude to everyone just because he didn't get to have the perfect wedding. he should be able to understand that everyone was trying their best, and Juliette shouldn't have defended him all the time.

I can't put this one down!!! Sounds like Beck liked Margo from the first moment he met her, though she was with his brother. He will stop at nothing to make her his. Honestly, I think she realizes that Beck is a better man than Carter. Some guys are not worth our time or tears.

Controversial topic with an engaging storyline that includes some mystery as well

One of the Boys

book cover


I love the premise! It's very unique, it defies stereotypes and clichés. This has a very diverse cast of characters, as well. I'm happy to see more diversity and intersectionality in YA books. I also appreciate that there wasn't a romance subplot shoe-horned in. There was a little bit of romance, but in a way that naturally fit into this as a queer coming of age story. That being said, it was clear that this was a debut, especially judging by the dialogue, which often came off sounding clunky. The writing style didn't always flow smoothly. That just means that author has room to grow! I'd be interested to see what she writes next.

The Twisted Ones: Five Nights At Freddy’s (five Nights At Freddy’s Graphic Novel #2)
by Scott Cawthon

book cover


The Twisted Ones takes the horror up a level. It’s intense, creepy, and full of nightmare fuel. The animatronics are scarier, horrific, the mystery is deeper, and Charlotte’s past won’t let her go. It’s fast, freaky, and had me hooked from start to finish.

Chainsaw Man, Vol. 10

book cover


Chainsaw Man Volume 10 delivers chaos, heartbreak, and raw emotion. The pacing is relentless, the twists are brutal, and the art is as wild as ever. Denji’s inner turmoil deepens which is making this volume both action-packed and emotionally intense.

The Little Italian Hotel
by Phaedra Patrick

book cover


Enjoyed reading the story of a woman who runs a radio talk show giving advice to people calling in. Unfortunately in real life, she doesn't think of herself and take her own advice. Especially liked the backdrop of some of the setting being in Italy and characters she met in Italy.
