How Lucky
by Will Leitch

View in Library Catalog



I enjoyed the story and the message to be grateful and enjoy life. The writing style from time to time lost me. But overall enjoyed it.

Malibu Rising

Wow! I couldn’t put this book down. The course of the book tells the happenings of the 24 hours leading up to a party and also the flashbacks of how the family got there and what they went through. All of that built up and came to the surface making them acknowledge who they are, what they need to heal, and what brought them to where they are.

The Maidens

I wanted this to be more than it was. I felt like it had such great premise but fell short in how it was carried out.

Becoming

I was surprised about the information she shared such as not wanting Obama to be present until 2016, really not thinking he would be one and having to go through invitro to have a children. This book did not disappoint and could not stop reading.

A History Of My Brief Body
by Billy-ray Belcourt

View in Library Catalog



This felt like I was reading Billy's beautifully written diary. His thoughts on his existence and the way he moves through the world is soft and strong, brown and quiet and his essays provide the reader a glimpse of this experience through the words of a pet and his wife list of references. This is astounding.

I enjoyed the story and the characters. It kept me from wanting to put the book down. Can’t wait for the next book in the series

Be Dazzled
by Ryan La Sala

I didn’t know that I needed a crafting, cosplay love story in my life until I picked this up. Ryan created just as vivid of a world as he did in Reverie.

The Last Guard
by Nalini Singh

View in Library Catalog



I'd rate this 3-and-a-half stars if possible. Anyway, this is about Payal, CEO of a major Psy family conglomerate based in Delhi, India and Canto (stupid name, sorry), chief spymaster for the Mercant family. Both are Designation As - Anchors - and strong ones at that. Both were also severely damaged as children because apparently Designation A children often have physical and mental problems that cause some family groups to disown them before their Anchor status can be confirmed. As usual with Nalini's Psy/Changeling series, they are stronger together as they work to shore up the PsyNet which is being damaged by The Architect and her Scarab minions. (Kaleb & Sahara played parts, which made me happy, and we also got to see Aden, Valentin, Silver and Arwen plus the other members of The Council.) Not my favorite in the series but kept me reading, so good enough!

Penpal
by Dathan Auerbach

Disappointed prose and an interesting structure based on the origin of the story in Reddit, that build in a cliffhanger ending at the end of each chapter, but overall just an ok experience
