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 Last Olympian Graphic Novel
by Rick Riordan

book cover


The Last Olympian Graphic Novel was great. Since the movies were not great they stopped at the second out of five in the series, so now I have a way to see what is happening in the books. Also you know what is happening because there are words so you know where you would be in the book with just words.

Henry And Mudge And The Great Grandpas
by Cynthia Rylant

Henry and Mudge went to visit Henry's grand-pa Bill. Grandpa Bill lived with other grandpas. Henry and Mudge brought games to play with all the grandpas. Then they went for walk and they found a pond. Then they went back to check with Henry's parents to see if they could swim in the pond. They grandpas wanted to so they all went swimming in their underwear! They stayed in the pool for an hour and had so much fun!

Hilo Book 2

It was good. It left me on a cliffhanger at the end

Sisters
by Raina Telgemeier

book cover


The book Sisters was one of the best I have read. First I love that the author goes back in time so you can see what happens in the past but it still goes with where you are in the book. Also I like that Reinas siblings are in the book. Furthermore, the drawings were awesome.

The Boy From The Woods
by Harlan Coben
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I like reading Harlan Coben books. They are always interesting. Wilde was found in the woods as a young child. As an adult he still doesn't know who he belongs too. He has done 23andme, will it give him the results he is longing for. In the meantime he helps his godson Matthew search for his friend Naomi. She turns up and then goes missing again! It was a good read, wasn't too happy with the ending hope there is a sequel.

NEED
by Joelle Charbonneau
View in Library Catalog
book cover


NEED is an amazing sci-fi thriller that grabs onto you from the first page and doesn't let go. Essentially, NEED is a startup website that gives you anything you 'need' in exchange for a small price. But the price of your NEED is increasing drastically, and the book reveals an intricate web of betrayals and blood that NEED leaves behind in their small town. NEED approaches the idea of what we think qualifies as a need, the way we think, and just how far we'll go to get what we want.
