The Deading
by Nicholas Belardes
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Had to DNF this one halfway through after reading it on my bus ride every morning and falling asleep every single time. I can only describe this book as exhausting. Desperately in need of an editor that could rip the heart out of this book and cut out all the fatty tissue. Has an all-timer bad line in it: "I'm seventy-five and falling apart. My body, not my womanhood, nor my Japanese Americanness." With a line that bad you know this author is not a woman nor is he Japanese-American because genuinely what does that even mean?

There are a lot of really good horror graphic novels being made these todays. This one I can stronly say is perfect! Not one thing I would change or expand upon. It is such a great mix of sci-fi, horror & the apocalypse theme.

This is a sweet story about children welcoming their parent home from a trip with the things they think are important to him. When they arrive at the airport with all of the things, their dad lovingly accepts the grand gesture and also lets them know they are the best part of coming home. The illustrations are bright and fun.

4.5 stars. Jack and Annie travel to the prairie and visit a dugout schoolhouse, write with chalk on slate and befriend pioneers. They encounter a twister and have to hide in a storm cellar. This is one of their more exciting and endearing adventures.

What Happens In Amsterdam
by Rachel Lynn Solomon
View in Library Catalog
book cover


3.5 stars. I loved the setting! So charming and Solomon fully immerses the reader in the culture. In this second chance romance Dani collides with her former love Wouter (pronounced vow-ter) and they embark on a fake marriage. Despite years of no contact (he was previously an exchange student), sparks seemed to fly and they moved right in together as if no time had passed or as if they kept on knowing each other without interval lives. I liked Wouter but Dani seemed a bit all over the place. This was enjoyable but I felt the chemistry/romance was a bit lacking. I listened via audio on Libby.
