The Way I Hate Him
by Meghan Quinn
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Enemies to lovers, but make it laugh-out-loud funny with off-the-charts tension. The banter is top-tier, the hate is deliciously petty, and the romance sneaks up on you in the best way. It’s giving “I can’t stand you but I also can’t stop thinking about you” energy—perfect for fans of chaotic chemistry and playful spice.

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine
by Gail Honeyman

book cover


5 stars A book about loneliness and overcoming your past, trying hard to live as “normally” as possible in this crazy world. I resonate deeply with Eleanor Oliphant. All her rights and wrongs, her issues and all. A great read that i’d recommend for anyone who understands or wants to understand the feeling of being alone and the feeling of the ghosts that haunt you.

Same Time Next Summer

This was my first Monaghan book. I really enjoyed her writing style. I felt that the then and now aspects of the book complemented each other seamlessly. I do wish there was a "future" or little epilogue that gave readers a glimpse into what could have happened.

The Catcher In The Rye

5 stars I never understood how people never liked this book; I begged my dad to get it for me. Now my friends say they hate it since all Holden ever does is cry, curse and complain. But that’s the point. That’s what life makes you do. Of course you can always find ways to pick it back up or reminisce in good times (which Holden does at certain points of the novel) but life is shit, you just gotta find the goddamn good in it. Two quotes that really stuck out to me: “Goddamn money. It always ends up making you blue as hell.” pg. 147 “Just because somebody’s dead, you don’t just stop liking them, for God’s sake — especially if they were a thousand times nicer than the people you know that’re alive and all” pg. 223

The Lightning Thief

Thrilling adventure that brings Greek mythology to life in modern-day America, following Percy Jackson as he discovers his demigod heritage and embarks on a quest to prevent a war among the gods. The plot was fast-paced and I enjoyed the witty humor, and relatable characters that combined fantasy and mythology.

Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone

I truly loved this book, with it's fantastic world building and the way the author eases us into the world itself. While the wizarding world is parallel to the real one, it is still like reading and experiencing the wizarding world itself. Love the way the character or Hermione is written, with her being the book smart, contrasting against Harry's spell smart and Ron's street smart.

the silent patient

A disappointment. There has been so much hype about this title. There is no way a therapist would be able to engage in the investigative actions that Theo did. It is too bad - i waited a long time to read this.

When The Moon Hatched

Great, unique world building. Plot with some interesting twists. Sometimes the plot moved slowly, but then the end went too quickly. Seemed like parts could have been cut out.

Twenty-Four Seconds From Now...

This book was relatable and I could not put it down. The main character, Neon has a funny personality and is perfectly written. The relationships among the teens and their families are well-written. This book persuaded me to read more by Jason Reynolds.

A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner is a haunting Southern Gothic tale of isolation, control, and resistance to change. Faulkner’s nonlinear storytelling builds suspense, revealing a chilling portrait of Emily Grierson’s tragic life and twisted legacy.
