Bunny
by Mona Awad
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Samantha is definitely an outsider in her small, creative writing workshops @ prestigious Warren University. There are only 4 other students in her classes, all seemingly perfect, well coifed and dressed young women who adore each other. The 4 women hug and call each other bunny as a term of endearment. During the semester the bunnies reach out to Samantha and invite her to one of there "smut salons" At this point all sorts of strange, borderline magical events begin to happen around Samantha. As a reader Samantha is such an unreliable narrator you do not know what has actually happened and what is made up in Samantha's head. The author, Mona Awad, has really left it up to the reader to interpret what happens to Samantha and the bunnies while at Warren. Overall, I think the book is a scathing but amusing review of the pretentiousness of some graduate school programs. It is horror, literary fiction and humor all rolled up in one brilliant but perplexing text.

I found this book very interesting. it was full of twist, tension and mystery. This was my first time reading a book from him, and would definitely look into reading more from him in the near future.

The Adventures Of Pinocchio
by Carlo Collodi
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This remains the original manuscript, penned in 1883 by Carlo Lorezzizi ( aka C.Collodi), which inspired the 1940 animated Disney masterpiece. Delightfully written with rich details of Italian provincial life, this book significantly differs from its whimsical cinematic counterpart in both tone and characterizations; however, youngsters of all ages will surely enjoy this simple tale of a mischievous wooden marionette whose growing appreciation of his father Gepetto's love, transforms him into his real-life son. *For those parents who cherish bed-time storytelling for their children, a word of caution is advised; some chapters are graphic in both violence and dark imagery, and literary discretion is necessary for the very young sleepy set toddlers.*

Dual Image

Dual Image had me hooked from the beginning, loved every word from the very last one. I always loved her books and would definitely re this again, even buy it for my personal collection. The love story about finding first love was so well written. Hooked from the start, it has me believing in love again. It wasn't only about romantic love between a couple. It was about love of a child and fighting for this child, to give this child the life he deserves after losing both his parents. I truly recommend this book for all Nora Roberts fans and anyone who loves and believes in happy endings.

I didn't read the first two books in this series, but as I am currently watching The Summer I turned Pretty, I wanted to read this book and see how it ends! Love triangle where young woman is torn between two brothers - which one will she end up with? I was frustrated with the main character but overall liked the book.

The Caged Girl

After reading The Favorite Girl, I had high hopes for this book. It sadly fell flat with repetitive antics, themes, and nonsensical twists. Demi "escapes" to a resort that is run by Ian's brother and she eventually realizes that she didn't better her life by leaving after all.

The Elements Of Style, Fourth Edition
by E. B. White

book cover


Simple, clear-cut; firm yet passionate insistence on how to approach writing. Comes across as rigid at times, but it’s not as though you’re being held at gunpoint to implement all of these rules exactly and without fail. Helpful for me, personally, because I need to learn how to be concise.
