I really enjoy the Big Nate series. This one was really funny and I can’t wait to read more in the series. This is the third Big Nate book that I have read so far and I really really like it a lot. I recommend them to all of my friends at school. A++

Entitled: How Male Privilege Hurts Women
by Kate Manne

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!

Mystery Of The Griefer's Mark

Nice book, action, not a lot of details though. Overall, I thought it was good but not great.

The Benefits Of Being An Octopus
by Ann Braden

book cover


What a great book!!! I loved it and am glad that things worked out for the main character-such a determined, creative thinker looking to better her and her mom's life. I am glad that they discussed the organizations that could help too...DCF is such a saving force in so many people's lives!

The Last Thing He Told Me

book cover


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!

Pirate Latitudes
by Michael Crichton
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This was a fun, fast-paced read. I enjoyed the theme and time period of piracy in the Caribbean. Charles Hunter gathers a crew of interesting personalities with the goal of securing treasure from a Spanish galleon that is docked in a nearby harbor. He comes up with a challenging way of attacking the harbor and taking control of the galleon. If you enjoy fast paced, action, and humor, then pick up this book!

Treasure Hunters In Trouble

This book had action, suspense, and excitement. It is a nice book for certain kinds of people.

The Night Watchman
by Louise Erdrich
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Louise Erdrich's novel speaks of her ancestors and Chippewa culture. Her grandfather fought termination bringing his fight to Washington DC to help defeat the proposed dispossession of the Chippewa from Turtle Mountain in North Dakota. At points the book dulls and could have been shorter, though her characters come to life and her story teachers.

Maybe You Should Talk To Someone
by Lori Gottlieb
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I liked this book at first. Lori Gottlieb has an interesting background and she writes well about the patients she treats and her own sessions in therapy. But this book was way too long - the short chapters jump around among these different stories and after a while I lost interest. Also, since Gottlieb combined and changed many parts of her patients' stories in order to protect their privacy, it was easy to get distracted wondering what was real and what was fiction.
