The House of Mirth
by Edith Wharton
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Edith Wharton's 1905 novel The House of Mirth is set in the Gilded Age. In this novel, Wharton portrays the ultimate tragic fate of her protagonist, Lily Bart, a young beautiful, inexperienced and proud woman who is beguiled by and, in the end, betrayed by the glittering materialistic society she lives in. The novel is suspenseful in that the reader wants to know what will happen to Lily, a conflicted character, who aspires to be part of this society that she is unable to conform to.

The ending of this book was amazing and the way that we find out what exactly Vespers was doing before she was bound into prison was heartwrenching to say the least

I don't know how to feel. I liked the short chapters and the experience they gave me, but I could not envision myself there. This one kind of just felt like words on paper to me, which is not bad, but I will not give it more than three stars. I liked the plot and the character dynamics in the book.

An awesome mystery about mankind's first contact with an instellar object. I was reminded about recent discoveries and observations of interstellar objects that have made headlines. Sometimes, science fiction can become reality.

Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone
by J. K. Rowling

book cover


Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the first book in the series. The book is about a 11 year old boy named Harry Potter. He had gotten a letter from a place called Hogwarts. Hogwarts is a school for wizards. He and his friends have to save the Sorcerer’s Stone so that an evil wizard would not become undefeatable. I really enjoyed reading this book and rated it five stars.

The Wife Upstairs

I don't normally read lighthearted, true crime type thrillers, but this book was exactly the fodder I needed to get me engrossed in a story during a time of loss. Many of the criticisms I read in other reviews talked about how the story was predictable, but this is what I liked about it. I don't do well with suspense, so reading a Jane Eyre reimagination (one of my favorite books) was good, predictable comfort reading.

The Way I Hate Him
by Meghan Quinn
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Enemies to lovers, but make it laugh-out-loud funny with off-the-charts tension. The banter is top-tier, the hate is deliciously petty, and the romance sneaks up on you in the best way. It’s giving “I can’t stand you but I also can’t stop thinking about you” energy—perfect for fans of chaotic chemistry and playful spice.

Smile

book cover


I worked at Middletown Library during this book's first wave of popularity and never got to read it because we literally couldn't keep it on the shelf. I see why it's popular, but it definitely feels like a prequel to the next one, since it ends juuuuust as she finds her passion for drawing.
