Little Women
by Louisa May Alcott

Re-read my favorite book and it remains my favorite. Each character is so wonderfully described that they come to life. I love the relationship of the sisters to each other and the entire story. A perfect book.

Princess Jellyfish

I completed my first manga as part of Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge. And, I have to say, I enjoyed it! There were a lot of Japanese cultural concepts that were unfamiliar to me, but the footnotes and endnotes helped a lot. I didn't realize manga were read back to front either, so that was a little hard to get used to but was routine by the end of the book. I'm not sure I'll continue with manga, but I'm glad the challenge exposed me to something different! It was nice that the characters were single women with passions that society deemed unusual.

The Racketeer

book cover


Although the novel was fast paced and a rapid read, I could not connect with the main character. Mal/Max appeared to be fighting for the underdogs, who were treated unfairly by the FBI. Instead he had no more regard for others than the FBI who were wrapping everybody into RICO violations, guilty or not. Although he maintained his innocence throughout, I wondered through the end of the novel if he had actually committed the crime for which he had been convicted. Just wasn’t a fan of this novel overall.

The Silent Patient
by Alex Michaelides

book cover


Eerie, cerebral, and methodically paced, The Silent Patient plays mind games in the most satisfying way. You think you know what’s happening — until you don’t. It’s a psychological thriller that earns its twist not with shock value, but by quietly building layers of deception, silence, and obsession until the reveal knocks the wind out of you.

Karen's Birthday: A Graphic Novel (baby-sitters Little Sister #6)
by Ann M. Martin

book cover


In this book it's Karen's birthday. She is so excited to open all of her presents. She even gets two parties, one at her Dad's house and one at her Mom's house. Though the only thing that Karen really wanted for her birthday was to have one big party. One with her whole family and not two desperate parties.

Hunt On Dark Waters
by Katee Robert

book cover


Witches, vampires, pirates, OH MY! This is the first book in a fantasy romance series. We're in a magical world where everyone has powers, but this book lacks description, and the characters aren't too likeable. It's a bit of a spicy book, with adventure that takes place in a world with portals. So much potential! I don't think I'll continue to read the rest of the series though.

The President's Shadow

It was okay, not great - a COVID story.

Rendezvous with Rama

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.

Games Untold

book cover


I love that the author decided to include shirt novellas for everyone. Nash and libby's relationship and Grayson's penance and the best novella was Hannah and Toby's relationship as we finally got to know a piece of what happened.

book cover


Chainsaw Man Volume 11 throws everything into overdrive with intense despair, hope, and a jaw dropping reveals. Denji confronts Makima, wrestles with power and purpose, and Pandemonium reigns. Ending with a brutal, emotional climax that reshapes everything.
