I have been waiting to read this book! So glad that it taught me the dangers and advantages of being sick with a disease.

As I've been continuing my journey through all of the Bridgerton books, they get more enjoyable. I find myself reading through them very quickly and it's an enjoyable read. Definitely a good beach/summer read if you want something quick and easy. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

The Memory Police
by Yoko Ogawa

This book is very eerie. It is a dystopian novel about memory. The citizens are on an island and things disappear mysteriously. The Memory Police take people away and the main characters work to try to preserve their things and memories against all odds.

Mr. Mercedes
by Stephen King

book cover


Uncomfortable, dark, intriguing and suspenseful. I couldn’t help but continue on when parts of this book made me cringe. Stephen King is a master at his craft. Mr. Mercedes is no exception, but is also not for the faint of heart. Will Patton narrating this series is excellent. He keeps the reader locked in. Looking forward to the next book already.

Incredible book! It gives a context for why we are kept away from learning the truth about our nation's history.

The Woman They Could Not Silence
by Kate Moore
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is the true story of Elizabeth Packard who's husband had her put in a mental hospital because she dared to have ideas and opinions that were different from his. At the beginning she befriends the head doctor at the hospital but later he turns on her and she has to experience terrible conditions. The story revolves around how she gets released and then goes on to fight for the rights of women wrongly placed in these institutions and improves the conditions of those who have to stay. She also has to fight to regain her family of 6 children. It is very interesting but also incredible that such things were actually considered normal at one time.
