The Midnight Library
by Matt Haig
View in Library Catalog
book cover


3.5 stars. This was a cute read. I would have shortened it slightly, and I appreciate what other reviewers had to say about its heavy handedness with platitudes and self-help tropes, but I enjoyed it. Light but meaningful.

I Who Have Never Known Men
by Jacqueline Harpman

book cover


I really enjoyed this book which was recommended by a friend. It's a short read but an interesting story about a group of women who are imprisoned with no idea on how they got there. I couldn't put the book down once it got going!

Kill Your Darlings

book cover


I was not liking the way this was written. The story seemed to be really building up to something which never happened. The ending was not suspenseful!

Love Elixir of Augusta Stern

I loved this story - vibrant in place, time, setting and characters. Kept me so engrossed I finished it in two days. I'm going to read the author's other books now!

Stuart Wood's Smoulder
by Battles

book cover


Not sure why Battles is writing books about Stone Barrington since Woods passed away but the Stone Barrington character should be retired. Stuart Woods had his own writing style and it should be left with him. Book was okay but it was missing the style of Stuart Woods.

Pretty good start to a sequel, will say. If you enjoyed the first comic series, time to start the new one!

The Wife Upstairs
by Rachel Hawkins

book cover


I don't normally read lighthearted, true crime type thrillers, but this book was exactly the fodder I needed to get me engrossed in a story during a time of loss. Many of the criticisms I read in other reviews talked about how the story was predictable, but this is what I liked about it. I don't do well with suspense, so reading a Jane Eyre reimagination (one of my favorite books) was good, predictable comfort reading.

Sweet Susan Mallery book.
