Escape Velocity
by Victor Manibo
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This title was not to my liking. I didn't feel any of the characters were likeable or at all sympathetic, though many were pathetic. It seemed to me that it couldn't decide what it wanted to be, a murder mystery or a revolutionary theme. Because of this each aspect was handled with a rather heavy hand and with little real affect. After all the build up throughout the story the ending was a big flop. None of it worked for this reader!

One of Us Is Lying
by Karen M. McManus

book cover


this book was so good, with an interesting plot twist at the end. characters were very well-developed and the story was unique. the only downside of this book was that it was quick, possibly *too* quick. I love a fast read but I just felt like there wasn't a lot of pining over the case and investigation, it was almost as if the students immediately discovered what happened and it was confirmed in the following scene. nevertheless, I loved this book so much and will probably reread in the future. <3

3rd book in series. The series started out good, with great world building, and strong characters. I like how some characters are making comebacks and growths and the main characters are building their relationship.

In this book a little girl named Karen Brewer lives next door to a lady named Mrs.Porter. Mrs. Porter wears long robes and has crazy gray hair. She even has a black cat as well. Karen is not allowed to spy on the neighbors but she does on Mrs. Porter. This is because she believes that Mrs. Porter is a witch. I really enjoyed reading this book and would rate it five stars.

I loved this book. The author described her life events in a really vivid way and made it very easy to imagine.

How Not To Drown in a Glass of Water
by Angie Cruz

book cover


I thought the book represented Cara's backstory and life in a way that felt very genuine, and made the readers empathize with her. It was interesting how, as each session went by, we learned more about her and about how her life was not exactly as it looked on the outside. However, sometimes the transitions between different moments, flashbacks, or location changes made the story a little hard to follow at times.

Marriage Be Hard

I thoroughly enjoyed this book especially getting the opportunity to hear both the perspectives of the wife & husband. I really appreciated the sincerity of the topics discussed and the advice given accompanied by a little jokey joke here and there. I would recommend for married couples of all stages; engaged couples; and single or dating readers who eventually would like to be married.

Stoner
by John Williams

book cover


I’ve read books where I’ve said the characters are literally me, but reading Stoner felt like John Williams wrote my entire life, thoughts, and even my parents in this 278 page book. Deeply moving and a required reading; from the comparison of one’s personality and building oneself to a bookcase to the aimless (and somewhat sure) fear for the future, anyone at any age (especially 17 and older) would resonate with the choices, struggles, and life of William Stoner
