How to Make a Pancake
by Dave Max
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I read this book all by myself. It's a silly book about how to make a pancake. It tells you every step you take like adding the eggs and then the milk and pouring it into the pan. If you listen to the directions you can make a pancake. I like bacon and pancakes.

The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall
by Katie Alender

book cover


WOW! This was a very fast read: I finished the book within 2 hours. Great thriller book that involves the paranormal as well. You really start to feel connected to the main character. It was not like anything I had read prior. Great young adult read.

Hercufleas
by Sam Gayton

book cover


I liked this book even though it was a little sad. It was sad when the girl's family died. It made me want to cry. I thought it was cool that the flea got his super strength from drinking a lion's blood. I would recommend this book to my friends and family.

The Crow Trap
by Ann Cleeves
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A gripping mystery that takes place in England in the Agatha Christie style where each character and possible suspect is examined, revealed, and investigated. Three women are joined in a cabin to study the fauna and flora of the surrounding woods so that a business owning a mine can have permission to expand without disturbing the environment.

The Maidens
by Alex Michaelides
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I actually enjoyed this more than I did The Silent Patient. It is a quick read with an interesting twist at the end. The Greek mythology and university society (“The Maidens”) make for an interesting plot as does the therapist who is the main character.

Mummies In The Morning
by Mary Pope Osborne

book cover


I loved learning about ancient Egypt!

The Boy From The Mish
by Gary Lonesborough
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This was a fun read. I really enjoyed reading about the main character’s journey of self discovery in terms of his sexuality and growing up in the Mish. I also learned about some of the injustices that Indigenous peoples face in Australia and which also can be seen in other countries. However, the story did feel a bit rushed at some points and I would have liked a bit more development in some areas. Though as the author’s debut novel, I think it was well done.

Diary Of An 8-bit Warrior: crafting alliances
by Cube Kid
View in Library Catalog
book cover


An entertaining book to read. However there were many things that could be done to improve it, like adding a little deeper meaning and adding few more sensory details.
