Bog Myrtle
by Sid Sharp

book cover


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.

I loved this book because it was very funny and entertaining! It is about a girl who goes to Paris and runs into so many surprises on the way! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story!

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!

Three Days in June
by Anne Tyler

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?

Like another book in this series on which he collaborated with another author, this lacks the humor and quirkiness of his other novels. It’s well written and an interesting story, but not quite as entertaining.

The Deviant, Vol. 1

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.

To All The Boys I've Loved Before

I haven’t gotten that far, I’m on chapter 4. It’s pretty good so far and definitely better than the movie. There is more information, as I would hope, and explains the characters more.

Make Your Way Home

I listened to this audiobook of short stories on Libby after it popped on my radar as a July Indie Next pick. This is a collection of 11 tales set in the south that cover a lot of content: pregnancy, violence, sex and intimacy, church, hair, Blackness and more. Nearly all of the vignettes felt forgettable and most seemed unresolved in my opinion. The narration was solid but the stories didn’t captivate me. My hands-down favorite from the bunch was “How Does Your Garden Grow?” which is a memorable and unique depiction of fibroids.
