2 Sisters Detective Agency
by James Patterson

book cover


Very disjointed story line

Chaos Walking
by Patrick Ness
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This is an amazing book series about a boy named Todd who, along with the other men in town, can hear Noise, which is a never ending pool of thoughts. Women don’t have it. After needing to escape town as the last boy in town, Todd meets Viola, a girl. She is the first girl Todd as ever seen in his life except for his mother, who died when Todd was young. Together, Todd and Viola attempt to reach the one safe place on their planet. But can they succeed? This series is a trilogy and is a science fiction/dystopian series. I highly recommend it to people who like science fiction and dystopian novels. This trilogy is full of action and excitement along with extremely heartfelt moments. This trilogy is simply amazing.

Banned Together
by Ashley Hope Pérez

book cover


This is now one of my favorite books and definitely one of my favorite nonfiction books. It explains what book banning is, why it’s currently bad and getting worse, and what to do about it. It addresses book banning and explains some of the ridiculous reasons why books have been banned. It is written by authors whose books have been banned. This book is filled with book recommendations and resources. This book also gives tips on how to help stop book banning in your community and explains what the world loses when a book is banned. This book is so amazing and is definitely a must-have in every place in the world. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves and cares about books.

This Might Hurt

My first Stephanie Wrobel thriller - she has an excellent method of building mystery with very interesting and unusual settings - this one had me on edge from the start. I plan to read all her books.

Fight Or Flight
by Fern Michaels

book cover


I don't give away any spoilers in my reviews. I have read many of Fern Michaels' books - especially The Sisterhood and the Men of the Sisterhood series. I enjoy her thorough character writing and love feeling like I have a complete picture of her characters. At first, I though the Katherine Winston character in Fight or Flight was the same Kathryn Winston in Sisterhood. However, it's not listed under the Sisterhood list of books so I'm honestly not sure. Either way, I loved both of the characters. Katherine - who is called K by her friend Doc, is an agoraphobe who lives alone with her two German Shepherds, Sam and Sophie. She lives in a large mansion and has not set foot outside in seven years. K is also K.C. Winston, the YA author of a series called Girls With Unusual Powers. She does have a secret online persona so she can monitor fans on her page. K has led a habitual life for many years and is forced to break that habit and face her panic attacks from agoraphobia. Doc helps her but I don't want to share any spoilers. Suffice it to say, it's a great, heart-pounding at times read. K feels she's being watched and things escalate from there. Thoroughout reading this, I kept thinking, if this is a different Katherine (which I think it is), please please please let this be a new series. From the perfect, heart stopping ending, I think it just may be. I loved seeing K overcome her fears and also loved her interactions with her dogs. Great read from one of my favorite authors.

The Hate U Give

This book really made me think about the issue of police brutality. Because we live in Glastonbury and have a relatively low crime rate. But this book made me think about the consequences and outcomes of this issue.

A Murder Most French
by Colleen Cambridge
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I have very recently read books one and three in Ms. Cambridge's An American in Paris mystery series and loved both. I especially love how the history and culture of Paris is so detailed in her books. Tabitha and Julia are the best pair of friends. Julia is teaching Tabitha how to cook and Tabitha helps Julia with her French. The two of them made me laugh thoroughout this book as well as the other two books. Tabitha has again decided to help with local murders when she witnesses them. I don't want to give anything away so won't list who is murdered. I especially enjoy how much she annoys the Inspector with her helpfulness in solving crimes, bringing clues to him, etc. An American in Paris Mystery series was fun to read as someone who loves mysteries and cozies. I also very much enjoyed learning more about the Paris catacombs, about how important wine was during the war and in Paris culture, all of the numerous cats that are in Paris and the Coke concern. (from my Goodreads review)

Pretty Vineyard Girls
by Crispin Nathaniel Haskins

book cover


While this book frequently references real Martha's Vineyard locations, it is unnecessarily violent as it tries to present itself as a murder mystery.
