This book gets a four-star review only because I lost interest in it at times. The farther I got into the book, however, the more interested I was. Overall, the book was good, very futuristic. Kudos to the author for creating such a vivid sci-fi world and such complex characters. It has a very similar plot to Hunger Games.

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.

Trust Me

I would highly recommend this book. I enjoy stories about court trials - true or fictional, so this book was perfect for me. I like that we also got background about the author following the trial and how her experiences clouded how she viewed the case being heard.

Anxious People
by Fredrik Backman

book cover


A very amusing and entertaining story with unusual characters held captive in an apartment during a real estate viewing. During the course of the novel, each person's story is revealed, friendships are formed, questions are answered and all come together for a common humanity.

Saviors of Kamigawa

Amazing, takes a little while to understand certain references though!

Behold The Dreamers
by Imbolo Mbue
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Behold the Dreamers gives a realistic picture of African immigrants struggling to make a life in New York City, and it feels timely even though it takes place in 2008. The best part of the book for me was getting to see things through the eyes of Jendi and Neni Jonga, with their dreams and expectations of life in America running up against a broken immigration system, cultural naivete and their own bad decision-making. I'm giving it 3.5 stars (rounded down here to 3) because some parts of the story fell flat for me, especially those involving the wealthy white family whose lives become intertwined with those of the Jongas after they hire Jendi as their chauffeur.
