A true page Turner, I did not want to put this down!

The Lady's Guide To Celestial Mechanics
by Olivia Waite

View in Library Catalog



This was a beautiful period love story that anyone can relate to; there is overcoming lost love, beginning new adventures and no one dies at the end.

Native Son
by Richard Wright

View in Library Catalog



Good but devastating. You see the prosecution of a black man that really meant no harm. You can also see the difference between the value of the white female body vs the black female body.

The Maidens
by Alex Michaelides

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.

People We Meet On Vacation

I lost track of how many times I laughed out loud reading this one. Emily is a dialogue/banter master!

Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel
by Jeanette Wall

View in Library Catalog



If you read The Glass Castle, you are going to love this. Wall's writing is impeccable and it was great to hear the background story of her parents growing up with their parents (Wall's grandparent). Page turner.

Trying to survive after her family is killed by the cartel, an immigrant mother and her son escapes from Mexico along

Rise To The Sun
by Leah Johnson

Leah has a way of immediately bonding a reader to a character. I fell in love with Toni and Olivia’s love story, and the music festival backdrop was just an added bonus.

Born A Crime
by Trevor Noah

View in Library Catalog



Trevor Noah has a crazy way of sharing crazy stories but at the same time making it very funny. Through reading his novel you not only learn about him but the strength and admiration that he has for his mother. Tears definitely.

Reunion Beach
by Dorothea Benton Frank

View in Library Catalog



A mix of short stories, letters, recipes, and remembrance for Dorothea Benton Frank. I enjoyed a lot of the short stories and sentiment behind the book.
