The Queen Of Nothing
by Holly Black
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Jude and Carden are amazing as always. I can't believe that Jude didn't see the "pardoned by the crown" trick the Carden set up. I started admiring him then. Taryn is such a bad sister and honestly Locke deserved to die like Valerian. Feel really bad for Heather though

Our Souls At Night
by Kent Haruf

book cover


Very quick read. Not a lot of action but I liked it. Two widows/neighbors who find friendship/romance at a later stage in life. I wasn't crazy about the lack of quotes for dialogue but just a minor complaint.

The Engine 2 Diet: The Texas Firefighter's 28-Day Save-Your-life plan that lowers cholesterol and burns away pounds
by Rip Esselstyn

book cover


The title is longer than the review and tells all. Yes, we should eat more plants. No, kale does not make good butter and overnight oats are an acquired taste I will not live long enough to enjoy. The awesome story with this lifestyle changing appeal goes a long way to encourage the adventure of a plant based diet and the holy grail for sufferers of high cholesterol.

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.

Blue Exorcist, Vol. 1

book cover


Blue Exorcist Vol. 1 was super cool! Rin finds out he's the son of Satan, but instead of being evil, he wants to become an exorcist and fight demons. The story is exciting, the art is awesome, and I really liked the characters. Can’t wait for book two!

Codex Seraphinianus
by Luigi Serafini

book cover


"Codex Seraphinianus" is like if aliens wrote an encyclopedia while tripping on acid. This mind-melting book is crammed with bizarre illustrations and an indecipherable language that'll have you questioning reality – it's basically the weirdest coffee table book you'll ever lay eyes on.

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.*

The Girl Who Was Taken
by Charlie Donlea

book cover


Excellent suspense novel where one of the victims had become involved in a sick kidnapping game, not realizing it was feeding a real kidnapper. This book kept me hanging on until the last chapter.
