I Who Have Never Known Men
by Jacqueline Harpman
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Well that was bleak!! Not like, Cormac McCarthy bleak, but desolate enough. In the future or the past, 39 women and one teen girl find themselves captive in an underground bunker, with little memory of how they got there. This is dystopian scifi, and going in you should be aware that no, you won't be getting any answers about What Happened or Why, but that's not what it's about. At no point did I know where it was going, but I enjoyed it. Idk, read it or don't? It's short!

Honey
by Isabel Banta

book cover


4.5 stars Honey was a wild and sexy ride of a girl's adventure through the 90s-00s music industry. This book is girlhood, femininity and pain. Though it is fast-paced, and I did wish for it to slow down at some points and further explain (reason for 4.5 rating). I understand why people might not like this aspect, but I see it as a way of the girls having to grow up fast and live fast lives, and even being in the heat of certain situations: time goes by fast. Thought it would’ve been great to have certain parts expanded upon--There were many quotes and lines that I’ve annotated that made me fall in love with the writing! Thanks to Bookish First of an ARC of "Honey"

I've always loved Karen M. McManus' books and this one certainly did not disappoint. At the beginning, I expected this to be a slow story, but along the halfway point I realized how fast the book was actually moving. Along with plot twists I wasn't expecting, the characters were engaging and made reading this book a very enjoyable experience.

This book had me from the very first page to the very last page. It is about a detective who returning to the scene of a murder crime is attacked. She doesn't recall a single detail from that night. The detectives see a pattern in these recent murders. These calling cards has the detectives go back 40 years . This involves a man who had this obsession with cutting his victims.

While in foster care the older sister murdered a boy from the neighborhood, and was arrested and has been locked away for many years. The youngest was adopted and was adopted and led a very professional life as a psychologist I could go on and on with this story and all the plots and twist . I recommend reading this book .
