All's Faire In Middle School
by Victoria Jamieson

book cover


Good middle-grade graphic novel- it's like Mean Girls meets the Ren Fest.
The Inheritance Games

book cover


It was ok. First time I read a book without a super duper evil person. I’m not sure it lives up to the hype, but I do recommend reading it. The riddles were fun, I just wish they made more sense. I loved the Hawthorne brothers, they made the story fun. I felt like Avery was a little bland sometimes, so it was good to have the brothers. It’s a really cool plot though, but not my cup of tea:)

An amazing book as a different kind of monster story
A Treachery Of Swans
by A. B. Poranek

book cover


It feels so good to have this book in my hands after months of anticipation. My only complaint is that i wish there were more of it- The landscape AB Poranek builds is so beautiful and I want to know every detail of the temple ruins and the creatures that lurk in the forest, of the politics and the religion and the magic system. The romance seemed a little bit rushed, but it was immersive nonetheless. If the epilogue was clipped and turned into another book or even a series I’d devour the rest of the story with just as much earnest. AB Poranek is amazing at dreaming up magical creatures and dropping little clues about their true nature, and I truly just cannot get enough of it. Four stars but very nearly five.

My new favorite of hers! Great twists and turns with a satisfying yet not fully tied with a bow ending
Mexican Gothic
by Mexican Gothic Silvia Moreno-garcia
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Mexican Gothic checks all the boxes of a good, crafty and very Mexican Gothic novel, it has enough of an evil and mysterious character(s), a peculiar hero, and a Victorian house that has a lot of secrets. This young author has a lot of talent, I might have asked a bit more from her editor as some chapters at the end are very heavy, but for the most part Silvia does an excellent job with the plot. I really appreciated and enjoyed all the references to the Mexican culture, it was a treat to have them incorporated in the story.
The Wedding People
by Alison Espach

book cover


A dark themed beach read with characters of various unhappiness, with the setting of a wedding which should be joyous. None of the characters are particularly interesting or likeable, making this a plug through kind of book.
Sold On A Monday

Interested in how the journalist sold himself on a Monday, versus the assumption it was the kids.
