The Witch Collector
by Charissa Weaks
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I'm kind of a picky reader, and had not finished 4 or 5 fantasy books in a row due to poor writing before coming across this one. However, Charissa Weaks definitely writes well enough to be enjoyable and worldbuilds to a satisfying degree. The main characters are all 3-dimensional, the pacing is good, the plot is interesting, and she's subtle enough to make you piece details together. Overall, very good. I'm only upset that books 4 and 5 aren't out yet because I know I'll want to read them.

Really not my usual read but loved this one! The dual perspective was great. But I really wanted Georgina to crack earlier and realize she should spend every last second she has with her family if they have already forgiven her.

book cover


Bold and humorous exploration of a woman's midlife journey, blending themes of desire, freedom, and the complexities of human connection. The story follows a semi-famous artist who, after leaving her family behind, embarks on a spontaneous cross-country trip from LA to New York. This detour leads her to a nondescript motel where she begins a transformative experience that challenges her perceptions of intimacy and identity. July's signature wit and keen observations shine through as she navigates the absurdities of life, particularly the nuances of aging and sexuality.

Though at times long winded and repetitive, this book is a good read for anyone interested in crime writing. Giving insights from masters of the art, it's worth reading through even if you aren't essentially interested in crime writing itself, but writing in general.

I reread this book after about a year because the way that the author presents the main character. Augustus Pullman was a wonderfully written character that truly made the story better. The multiple points of view showed how he was adjusting as well as everyone else

A Good Girl's Guide To Murder

book cover


4 stars This book is one of the reasons I love thrillers. This book tugged at my heart when need be, it kept me at the edge of my seat, my nerves were screaming and I even felt moved to tears. I love the idea and the usage of this being a story with the Capstone report, police reports, recordings and other suspect murder boards. Also, the Ravi and Pippa part? I loved it. I also really loved that the romance wasn’t the forefront or main sub-genere in this book until wayyy at the end. It was mostly on finding the killer with subtle-but cute-moments between the two. I’ll be looking forward to reading the next book!

I enjoyed learning about the way people dealt with issues about living their lives knowing how much time they had left to live, depending on the size of the string.

How Not To Drown in a Glass of Water

book cover


I thought the book represented Cara's backstory and life in a way that felt very genuine, and made the readers empathize with her. It was interesting how, as each session went by, we learned more about her and about how her life was not exactly as it looked on the outside. However, sometimes the transitions between different moments, flashbacks, or location changes made the story a little hard to follow at times.

Tempted by danger
by Endiya Carter

book cover


This was such a fun, steamy listen. Dymon Danger is all business, all rules—until Quinci Everly walks in and turns his world upside down. Their banter? Sharp. Chemistry? Off the charts. The narrators, Winston James and Trei Taylor, nailed the voices and emotions, making it feel like I was right there in the room. A few moments dragged toward the end, and Quinci’s constant “Mr. Dymon” made me chuckle more than swoon, but overall it was an addictive, fast-paced office romance that kept me grinning (and fanning myself) the whole way through.
