book cover


Miss Graham heads to post-war Germany to assist in rebuilding the infrastructure. In addition to this task, she is requested to locate her former lover and Nazi war criminal who is wanted by the Americans and British for different outcomes. The story is dense with history and intense--recommended if one really enjoys a thoroughly researched and intriguing story.

I loved this book. I enjoyed how it included elements of the LGBTQ+ community. The storyline was great and it had unexpected yet interesting plot twists.

Diary Of An Awesome Friendly Kid

This was a very funny book that was fun to read. As the pages are short and it was a graphic novel I wish it was a little more in depth but overall it is a good book.

Malibu Rising

I really enjoyed this book. I found the characters to be very well developed and as I continued to read it I felt as if I actually knew them all. I typically enjoy mystery and thriller books, but I found myself not wanting to put this book down and highly recommend it.

I liked the book a lot!

Superbikes

All of the bikes are really cool. My favorite is the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R because I am wondering if ninjas use this bike and it is the "king of all sports bikes."

Eva At The Beach
by Rebecca Elliott

I really liked this book. The characters are amazing. They are cool too. My favorite part is when Eva and her friend Lucy build a sand castle. I also liked when they did a swimming contest. I like reading all of the books about Eva and her adventures.

Cilkas Journey
by Heather Morris

book cover


The sequel to The Tatooist of Auschwitz tells the post-concentration camp story of Cilka who was held as a prisoner of war for her acts of survival while at Auschwitz. She is accused of “sleeping with the enemy,” while in reality she was a 16 year old girl who was raped repeatedly by a senior officer. The story details her post imprisonment following the war by the Russians.

Daisy Jones And The Six

book cover


I didn't really enjoy this book until I started getting closer to the end, to be honest. The interview format is definitely not for me, someone who tends to skip dialogue tags and just figure out context as I go - at one point I realized I should probably have made some kind of guide as to who was who and their relationship, but it felt like I was too far in the book to really bother with it. It's a great story about how everyone struggles, and how not everyone gets redemption. There was no one really likeable in the book, though? Everyone had so many faults that I wasn't really rooting for their success as a band. It's not as as good as The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (by a longshot) but could be really good as an audiobook, especially with different people narrating each character.
