This fascinating book explores the idea that humanity's origins are linked to ancient astronauts from a distant planet called Nibiru. It presents a compelling narrative based on Sumerian texts, suggesting that these extraterrestrial beings, known as the Anunnaki, visited Earth every 3,600 years and played a significant role in shaping human civilization. The blend of mythology, archaeology, and speculative science makes it a thought-provoking read for anyone interested in alternative theories of human history.

The second book in the series throne of glass and safe to say...this book has me flipping through pages faster than I flip my other English texts. Cealena is Aelin?!? That was a twist I kind of expected after all the hints about Terrasen its lost queen

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.

Good summer reading book, setting on Nantucket. All about family, relationships & communications. Especially love the grandmother/granddaughter relationship.

Although I knew a little about the process of electing a new pope, this book filled in a lot of the blanks. It really portrayed the Cardinals as men who are not perfect but doing their best. Some were ambitious, others questioned their inability to make the right decision, some feeling doubts and lacking in their prayers. It keeps your attention to the end.

I like this new character Harriett Blue. Chapters are short so its a quick read.

This novel can be read on a train ride to NY Penn. A masterpiece that makes - forces readers to critique civilization and modernity's impact in the Congo. A harrowing read.

Sonnys Blues by James Baldwin is a powerful exploration of pain, family, and redemption. Through the lens of jazz and brotherhood, Baldwin captures the struggle of Black identity, emotional repression, and the healing power of understanding and expression.

Percival Everett writes the story of an enslaved man as he faces one terrifying situation after another in pre-Civil War Missouri. Ever aware of his assigned place in society, he none-the-less taps into a seemingly endless supply of agency to first flee his current "mass," and finally return with a full sense of self. At his side throughout most of the story is Huck, of Huckleberry Finn fame. Their relationship, as the story slowly reveals, is held together by a shared hometown, common respect for one another, and a secret finally revealed when "Jim" is forced to make a terrible choice. Fast-paced, suspenseful, first-person narrative. Excellent!

This dual POV story brilliantly captures how two people can experience the same love in wildly different ways. It’s messy, hilarious, occasionally petty, and deeply human — like listening to your friends unpack their situationship in a group chat. It proves that perspective is everything, especially when hearts are on the line.
