Great end of the world story about survival.

With The Fire On High
by Elizabeth Acevedo

I loved the book so much! The imagery and descriptions are impeccable!

Project Hail Mary
by Andy Weir
View in Library Catalog
book cover


On one hand, I thought Project Hail Mary was completely unrealistic - the plot is beyond far-fetched, the supporting characters are flat and underdeveloped and the narrator sometimes sounds like an immature teenage boy. But I gave it 4 stars because I really liked this book. It was different and the story caught my attention. There's a LOT of science, much of which I confess I didn't follow, but overall it adds to the feel of the story. For me, this book was a surprise success.

Flipped for Murder
by Maddie Day

book cover


Robbie Jordan moves to a tiny town after visiting her aunt. She opens a country store called Pans n Pancakes. She then is suspected of murder. The town is where her mother is from and begins to learn a few things about her mom and the dad she never met. That is just a small part of the story. It's a cozy mystery!

Where The Grass Is Green Lauren Weisberger
by Lauren Weisberger

book cover


Fun summer read! Quick read and love that it takes place in NYC and Westchester County. Also a story line very much in the news concerning college admissions with a different twist. Her characters are always so true to life and always get a good laugh from her stories!

Pokemon XY Pocket Comics
by Santa Harukaze

They were nice little comics to read, lots of different stories about pokemon which is my favorite. I can't wait to read more comics about pokemon next time. A+++++++++ .....................................................................................

Trials of Apollo: The Burning Maze
by Rick Riordan
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I love all of the Rick Riordan books but this one slightly less, the reason for that being is that Rick Riordan killed oh of my favorite characters who is also in the Heroes of Olympus books. Also I like that you have some puzzles involved with the books.

Finders Keepers
by Stephen King
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A little slower to start than Mr. Mercedes, but eventually Finders Keepers picks up and the suspense of finding out how the story unfolds does not disappoint. I enjoy how the book continues to weave back to the first story, then expands on the dark world King has create to keep us on edge.
