Every Vow You Break
by Peter Swanson

book cover


This was a great book of suspense! It has an interesting story line which kept me coming back for more - one of those books that I was excited to find out what was going to happen next. I loved that there were some unpredictable twists. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers or suspense novels.

News Of The World
by Paulette Jiles

book cover


This isn't my usual type of book but I liked it a lot. Jiles did a great job of creating two unique and interesting characters, Captain Kidd, a tired and grizzled veteran of 71 who travels through Texas reading the news to groups who gather to hear him, and Johanna, a 10 year old white girl who was rescued after being held captive by Indians for four years. In the quest to return Johanna to her relatives, both of them grow and learn and show the reader what real family means.

Sisters

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.

Fighting Words
by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

book cover


Ten-tear-old Della has always had her older sister, Suki: When their mom went to prison, Della had Suki. When their mom's boyfriend took them in, Della had Suki. When that same boyfriend did something so awful they had to run fast, Della had Suki. Suki is Della's own protector. But who has been protecting Suki? Della might get told off for swearing at school, but she has always known how to keep quiet where it counts. Then Suki tries to kill herself, and Della's world turns so far upside down, it feels like it's shaking her by the ankles. Maybe she's been quiet about the wrong things. Maybe it's time to be loud. In Fighting Words, you truly feel for the characters and have your eyes opened to the untold stories of so many.

Of Women And Salt

I usually love a good historical fiction read, but this one never caught my attention like others I have read. Took a while to get into this book. It was hard to follow for me. I liked that the theme was very relevant to the times we are living in.

Great end of the world story about survival.

Sometimes I Lie
by Alice Feeney

book cover


This book was very confusing. It sounded good and interesting but it was too confusing. They had a before the accident, after the accident, when she was younger. I couldn't always figure out who was the one speaking. Clare, Amber, Taylor... I wasn't a fan.

Untamed
by Glennon Doyle

book cover


This book is by a woman for women. It is about feminism and being the person you were meant to be, not the one society tells you to be. It is a memoir about one woman’s journey through this process and the lessons she learned along the way. Fast read!
