Yesteryear
by Caro Claire Burke
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Outstanding! A fascinating exploration of womanhood, social media, marriage, and societal pressures. This is the first novel from Burke, and I am eager to see what other novels she will produce in the future. I would recommend this to women especially between the ages of 17-45, those entering this new world, and those having lived it.

The Twisted Ones: Five Nights At Freddy’s (five Nights At Freddy’s Graphic Novel #2)
by Scott Cawthon

book cover


The Twisted Ones takes the horror up a level. It’s intense, creepy, and full of nightmare fuel. The animatronics are scarier, horrific, the mystery is deeper, and Charlotte’s past won’t let her go. It’s fast, freaky, and had me hooked from start to finish.

Mad Mabel
by Sally Hepworth

book cover


A light read about a woman who was accused of being “mad” and a murderer her whole life. The book flips between present and past as we learn her story. Heartwarming in a “A Man Called Ove” way, with a mystery that also keeps you reading.

Stacey's Mistake

I haven't read the BSC books in such a long time but I loved this one! Stacy is my favorite character so I had to read it and it did not disappoint. I have always loved this series and I enjoyed the new characters that were involved as well. The book was such a quick yet fun read.

Bunny
by Mona Awad
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Samantha is definitely an outsider in her small, creative writing workshops @ prestigious Warren University. There are only 4 other students in her classes, all seemingly perfect, well coifed and dressed young women who adore each other. The 4 women hug and call each other bunny as a term of endearment. During the semester the bunnies reach out to Samantha and invite her to one of there "smut salons" At this point all sorts of strange, borderline magical events begin to happen around Samantha. As a reader Samantha is such an unreliable narrator you do not know what has actually happened and what is made up in Samantha's head. The author, Mona Awad, has really left it up to the reader to interpret what happens to Samantha and the bunnies while at Warren. Overall, I think the book is a scathing but amusing review of the pretentiousness of some graduate school programs. It is horror, literary fiction and humor all rolled up in one brilliant but perplexing text.

Guts: A Graphic Novel
by Raina Telgemeier

book cover


I wish I'd read this in my puberty years!! Raina!!! Where were you then? With two brothers and a mom who worked and attended community college, my deep shyness and fear of asking questions as well as sharing my personal concerns isolated me in my family and with my "peers" at school or elsewhere. Ughhhh. Yuk! So glad young pre-pubescent tweens, et al have validating and confidence-giving reading like this one! Ughhhhh....even hiding "used stuff" in the kitchen garbage "indiscreetly" was nerve wracking! (so my brothers wouldn't get "the secret" I was hiding!) And the products we had in the 1970's! So weird! (And my mom was overjoyed for me - "now you can have a baby!" Really? I don't want one now! What would I do with one as a tweenager?)
