This was the first chapter book I read all by myself and I really liked it. I am going to read the whole Humphrey series and I just got a pet hamster that looks just like Humphrey. My favorite part of the book was when Humphrey and Aldo made friends with each other.

Book number two in the Aloha Reef Series. This one is about Annie Tagama who is a volcanologist. She recently had an injury and is trying to work her way back to where she was before the accident. She and Mano Oana, who we met in the previous book are trying to help her brother whom they thought was dead. The mystery of why he returned and who is threating the family.

Win
by Harlan Coben

book cover


This was a page turner with a good mystery from a very reliable author. I knocked it down a peg for the misogyny. Even if the character acknowledges the misogyny it’s still a factor. I have only read one Myron Bolitar novel so I did not remember Win - I came in fresh to this book.

In The Heights Finding Home
by Lin-manuel Miranda
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I actually listened to this book and am glad I did as, Lin-Manuel Miranda actually hums, sings and raps through quite a lot of his sections. The story is about how his play In The Heights was first a small off Broadway production, then how it progressed to Broadway and finally to a film which is currently out (but delayed due to Covid 19). Each chapter is narrated by one of three people involved in this process and it is very interesting.

Thea Stilton And The Dancing Shadows
by Geronimo Stilton

I really liked this book because it had a lot of dancing and mysteries, which are my favorite kinds of books

The Maidens
by Alex Michaelides
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This was an interesting book mainly set in Cambridge University in England. The Maidens are a group of students who are devoted to a particular professor. Some grisly murders take place and the aunt (and former Cambridge student) of one of the girls who attends the college attempts to solve who is committing them. There are lots of plot twists and I did not guess who did it at all. Definitely a page-turner until the end.

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.

Henry And Mudge And The Great Grandpas
by Cynthia Rylant
View in Library Catalog
book cover


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!
