Treasure Hunters
by James Patterson

book cover


A very exciting book. Has many humorous elements but once again I wish it was more in depth.

The Venice Sketchbook
by Rhys Bowen
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A more somber, but beautifully executed story of Juliet Browning and her romantic relationship while studying art in Venice during the Second World War. Some heartbreak, some inspiration, woven between 1938 and 2011. Caroline Grant, the grand niece of ‘Lettie’ embarks on a trip to solve the mystery of a sketchbook. Different from Bowen’s quirky and lighthearted Georgie romps.

The Dilemma
by BA Paris

book cover


I read this book but wish I had not wasted my time. It had a surprising ending but the whole story really annoyed me. It is taken from the point of view of two parents and the dilemma concerns one of their children and also a huge family party. I did not empathize with the characters and that is probably why I was not gripped.

Windrush
by Mike Phillips
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book tells the story of the generation who came to Britain from the Caribbean after WW2. Powerful story with many first-hand accounts. It helped me gain a sense of the Afro-Caribbean community in Britain decade by decade. Also gives the historical background to the Windrush Scandal that broke in 2018.

Motorcycles

book cover


I read this book all by myself. It is about motorcycles. I saw all different kinds of motorcycles and all different parts of motorcycles. Some motorcycles are really fast and other ones aren't as fast.

Pokemon XY Pocket Comics
by Santa Harukaze

book cover


They were nice little comics to read, lots of different stories about pokemon which is my favorite. I can't wait to read more comics about pokemon next time. A+++++++++ .....................................................................................

The Novice

book cover


Well in depth, lots of details and action, ends on a cliffhanger to start the next book. A very good read.

The Sanitorium
by Sarah Pearse
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book is absolutely terrifying. My heart raced all the way through. It is Stephen King meets Fairfield Hills. An old Sanitorium is converted into a chateaux, an avalanche or two traps everyone in and things get very frightening. It is a fast read!

Glass Sword
by Victoria Aveyard

I loved this book a ton! I wonder what will happen in Kings Cage. The suspense!

First Comes Love Emily Giffin
by Emily Giffin
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I loved the book!! I wasn't sure if I was going to, but it was a book club choice and I found it really interesting and engaging. It made me question all the ways we love and how it important it is to be honest when approaching various relationships.
