The Maid's Secret
by Nita Prose
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I have really liked all books in this series but this one and the first were my favorite. I loved getting to hear Molly's grandmother's story! I think going back and forth between the two stories made it so much more interesting. Very good character development. Love these stories!

This is a great book. It’s a shorter book but it’s a great book for readers who like adventure, scary, and mystery books.

The Deviant, Vol. 1
by James Tynion IV

book cover


Wow, this is some good horror stuff right here, yes absolutely more of this. Really enjoying the "deviancy" angle--homosexuality and violence as deviancy and how those overlap in a world so violent to LGBT individuals, also I thought this was going to be so corny because of the "killer santa" trope but I know nothing evidently, can't wait for the next issues.

My Name Is Lucy Barton
by Elizabeth Strout

book cover


For readers who have met New York author (and eventual resident of Maine) Lucy Barton in Strout’s other books, this is an interesting deep dive into her life. It focuses on a period in. Barton’s life where her children were young and she is in the hospital for nine weeks with a severe infection following routine surgery. Not sure if I would have enjoyed this story if I hadn’t read about Barton in Strout’s other books.

This book brings Jack and Annie to Australia. They obtain the final gift they need to help the dog Teddy and finish their four-part quest. We learned about kangaroos and there was a scary wildfire.

Three Days in June
by Anne Tyler
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A great author can make complex characters come to life even in a short book. Over a long weekend in June, Gail is blindsided by an announcement from her boss, surprised to find her ex-husband on her doorstep with a rescue cat in tow, and confronted by events from her own past on the day of her only child’s wedding. Gail thought she had her life perfectly in control, but is it a happy life?

Bog Myrtle

This book was delightful! I loved the bold colors and quirky illustrations in this juvenile graphic novel. This witty, dark folktale about two sisters had me laugh out loud a couple times. The book conveys several important messages about generosity (vs selfishness and greed), respecting the environment, kindness and more. I think young readers who enjoy a twisted tale and older readers who appreciate unique humor will get a kick out of this book that I borrowed from the local library and read in one sitting.
