Every. Single. Time. I think I have it all figured and she has to get me with that one final blurb at the end.

book cover


The Lilac People is a story about a transvestite (term used in the book) man who escaped from the Nazis to live a quiet life on the outskirts of the German Countryside only to come under scrutiny 12 years later by American allies. A survivor from a concentration camp stumbles onto his property and Bertie takes it upon himself to help this young man successfully transvest so that he can successfully live amongst the people without being targeted since it was considered a crime. Between a mixture of truth and fiction, the author brings a story that gives the reader an array of emotions.

This book is amazing! The world building is so expansive, and there are some very timely elements in the story that make it well worth the read. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys books with a post-apocalyptic setting and realistic horror.

"Carry Me Like Water" by Benjamin Alire Sáenz is a powerful and moving novel that explores themes of identity, family, and connection across various divides. The book weaves together the stories of multiple characters, confronting issues of race, gender, and class while ultimately focusing on the journey of self-discovery and the search for belonging. Sáenz's narrative incorporates elements of Mexican Catholic and new age spiritual imagery, creating a unique and immersive reading experience that blends surrealism with profound emotional depth.

I read this YA nonfiction book as part of a prompt for Book Riot's Read Harder challenge. I thought the book was well-written and approachable, and I learned some interesting things. But I ultimately decided to give it only 2 stars. I would recommend this book to others, but I wasn't as engaged as I would have hoped.

The Silver Eyes pulls you into a dark, twisted story that mixes childhood trauma with deadly mystery. It’s creepy, suspenseful, and keeps you on edge. The past won’t stay buried, and the truth behind Freddy’s is worse than anyone expected. I couldn’t stop reading.

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.

Sarah J. Mass is a storyteller like none I have read before. Her world building has me in literal awe andi could not believe what I was reading halfway through the book. Cealena Sardothien is one of my favorite characters and Dorian is probably a close second

This is the story of 3 friends, a small island, a murder that happened 20 years ago, lies and loyalties. We find that eventually the truth comes out as lies are hard to maintain. The book is a little slow to get interesting but has a great twist at the end.
