Coolidge
by Amity Shlaes
View in Library Catalog
book cover


An intriguing, surprisingly engaging biography of a little-known president. This book shows Calvin Coolidge in all of his understated, but by no means insignificant, glory. Reading this book is the only time I’ve ever laughed out loud while reading a biography—a ringing endorsement indeed!

Problematic Summer Romance
by Ali Hazelwood
View in Library Catalog
book cover


3.75 stars rounded up. In the world of Ali Hazelwood, this book was somewhat lower tier and forgettable, but it’s still a fun summer read. I liked the setting (Italy), the audiobook’s dual narration (primarily FMC POV w/MMC speaking), the chemistry and general blend of tropes (age gap, brother’s best friend, handsome rich MMC). I felt like there was an attempt to make this a friends-to-lovers romance but it felt more like a second chance turned instalove, which left me conflicted.

The Kamogawa Food Detectives
by Hisashi Kashiwai

book cover


Detective agency at the back of a cafe replicates recipes from clients’ long ago memories. Too bad this isn’t a “scratch ‘n sniff” book because some of the dishes sound amazing!

Marshmallow & Jordan
by Alina Chau

book cover


It's a cute story about a girl in a wheelchair finding an injured elephant. My favorite part (without spoilers) is when Marshmallow reveals who he really is. They should make a sequel!

Shift

book cover


not as good as the first book, but still very interesting. the book had an even slower rate, but still hooked me in. The book goes more into the history behind the first book, as well as exlaining more of what came after. would reccomend. worse than Wool(book 1) because it goes a lot into ethics, and can be a little challenging to read.
