The Last Thing He Told Me

I loved this book - juicy, edge-of-your-seat thriller was what I wanted and it delivered! I was nervous that I maybe wouldn't be able to sleep or something afterwards but it did not have that effect - just good, clean who-done-it. So happy I read it!

While caring for this baby and searching for the mother. Why would someone leave the baby out in the cold. Another mystery for the people of Rock Harbor.

Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women

book cover


I was encouraged to read this interesting book by my daughter. Each chapter explores a different way that men get things that they feel entitled to, at a woman's expense. It was very cleverly done and revealed a lot of behaviors that I did not even realize that we take for granted The chapters gave just enough information and links to other articles that you could pursue it in depth as much as you wanted. It is a must read for everyone - especially men!

Excellent!

Between Two Kingdoms
by Suleika Jaouad
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is a memoir written by a young woman who was diagnosed with leukemia just as she graduated from college. It follows her progress through a long period of treatment and then her efforts to learn to live normally again once her treatment is over. Both parts were very enlightening and I particularly enjoyed the road trip section where she met many people who had contacted her whilst she was undergoing treatment.

The 5th Wave
by Rick Yancey

book cover


The 5th Wave was amazing. I couldn't stop reading the entire time. The characters are complex, the plot twists are totally unexpected, and the plot itself had a fast pace that gripped me. Even if you don't particularly like books about sci-fi/alien invasion/end of the world, The 5th Wave will change your mind. READ THIS BOOK!!!

Greenlights
by Matthew Mcconaughey
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is Matthew McConaughey's autobiography written as he turned 50. The greenlights refer to the lessons he has learned from his life experiences. He peppers his story with bumper stickers or little quotes or sayings which he considers relevant to the topic he is talking about. It is a fairly short book and quite light hearted and entertaining

The Last Thing He Told Me

This was quite a short book but had a lot of story in it. The ending was very surprising and I am not actually sure I liked that part but the rest of it was interesting and kept me reading. I have never read any other books by this author but might just after this.

The Endermen Invasion: An Unofficial Gamer's Adventure, Book Three

Active action, good concept, good book for certain people.

Hercufleas
by Sam Gayton

book cover


I liked this book even though it was a little sad. It was sad when the girl's family died. It made me want to cry. I thought it was cool that the flea got his super strength from drinking a lion's blood. I would recommend this book to my friends and family.
