EVERY TIME I GET IT I LOVE IT

I love the Jack Reacher series, and A Wanted Man did not disappoint. I read it over the weekend! Great characters, action, twists, and turns. Another fun, thrilling ride from Lee Child!

The Compound: A Gma Book Club Pick
by Aisling Rawle

book cover


I read this book because it was a July Indie Next pick and GMA’s book club pick. I listened to the audiobook via Libby and was surprised by the English-accented narration by actress Lucy Boynton (though in retrospect I shouldn’t because of the author’s Irish origin). This book definitely felt like Survivor with more coupling and more cutthroat consequences. I couldn’t look away from the competition of it all and my interest was maintained up until the couple switching. The book had a bit of a lull but finished with what seemed to be an explosion of the seven deadly sins. This was an interesting book that would be good to discuss but also one I’m unlikely to reread.

World War Z

I recommend this book to anyone interested in politics, economics, sociology, religious studies, etc. WWZ is a masterful look into a post-Collapse society following a zombie outbreak. I've recommended this book to people from all sorts of backgrounds and fields of study/work. Each one finds something in the book which pulls them in. However, some people don't like zombies or anything which could be considered scary so that's okay too.

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.

There's No Such Thing As...mermaids

This book is really cool because it is also like a seek and find book where you have to find the mermaid on every page. She is pretty and she hides really good.

Battle Of The Bookstores
by Ali Brady

book cover


This book is like a warm chocolate chip cookie- warm, sweet and brings a smile to my face! This is my favorite full-length Ali Brady book, which I listened to on audio via Libby. If you’re a fan of You’ve Got Mail and Book Lovers, read this great feel-good romance. Josie manages a literary fiction bookstore while Ryan manages a romance bookstore. The mutual owner merges the spaces and forces them to compete for the sole managerial role. Rivalry ensues and chemistry starts crackling! I enjoyed this quite a bit.

The Hate U Give

This book has great vocabulary and shared insights to the world about life as a minority. It displays a coming of age theme which revolves around Starr, the ferocious main character of this novel. I would definitely recommend!

House Of Leaves
by Mark Z. Danielewski

It feels as though you are going insane with the main character. As the book slowly devolves into symbolism over story, it leaves you grasping for explanation and theorizing like a madman. I loved not only the story, but the experience as well.
