Sunrise On The Reaping (a Hunger Games Novel)
by Suzanne Collins
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I simply cannnot explain how good this book is!! The way that Susanne Collin’s ties in parts from the other 4 books is amazing!!! It kind of made me want to cry. Is that bad? The way that president snow killed Lenore dove is horrible in a twisted intelligent way. Again is it bad that I understand that? The rest of the book I fell immune to but what really got me was the epilogue. The way that he saw Kathi’s grow up and how she was really the one that stopped the sunrise on the reaping. But what really got me was the last line was when he remembered his now dead brother saying happy birthday on the reaping day. I can not even explain how this made me feel.

A breazy, but thought-provoking quick read. For me, the right balance between the farcical and the fantastic as I always want to believe that good will win out of evil. Recommend

This book was so moving. I really liked how this was from Julian’s grandmothers perspective. And how he makes it clear that he’s sorry about how he acted about auggie. This book is so awesome!

Lorien Legacies Series
by Pittacus Lore

book cover


This is a book series about aliens that come from the planet Lorien. When the Loriens were really young, Lorien was attacked by Mogadorians, another alien race. The elders of Lorien placed a charm on the Loriens so they could only be killed in a certain order and the charm would only break when they came together. After placing the charm, the elders sent the young Loriens to Earth to wait until Lorien was ready for them to return. However, Mogadorians came to Earth to kill the Loriens. Now, they need to survive. This is a science fiction/dystopian series and I would recommend it to anyone.

High school Heroes
by James Mascia

book cover


This book is really funny and amazing! It’s about a couple of high schoolers who develop super powers and try to save the world. There is a tiny bit of romance but it doesn’t really get too annoying for those who don’t love romance like me. It’s a fun read and I really enjoyed listening to it. I highly recommend this book!

Death Of A Robber Baron
by Charles O'Brien

book cover


I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I stumbled upon this book while searching my library's mystery shelves. I am a big fan of the Gilded Age and this sounded like a good read. Pamela Thompson is used to living richly and spending her time volunteering at charities. Unfortunately, her husband has foolishly spent their fortune in a scam. Pamela and her husband lose everything. Then Pamela loses her husband, Jack. She then takes over a boardinghouse that is one of her investments since she and her ward Brenda can live there. Pamela becomes a store detective at Macy's. This was my favorite part of the book. I loved reading about her training with Harry, the store setting, all of the items for sale back then. Pamela goes on to become a compation to Lydia Jennings, a rich woman who thinks there is something amiss with her household finances, staff, etc. I also loved the friendship that forms with Pamela's attorney boss, Prescott. I struggled to figure out who the murderer was - which is always a fun thing for a reader. I love the constant guessing game while reading a good mystery book. I plan on reading the other books in this series because I really liked how strong Pamela became while remaining a lady in those times. (from my Goodreads review)

The Women
by Kristin Hannah

book cover


Powerful. There isn't really another word for this book. There were no women In Vietnam was repeated so many times in this book and each time it got me angrier and angrier. The things these nurses and Doctors saw were just as horrific as what I can only imagine the soldiers saw. The story was beautifully written and hauntingly sad. RYE.. u dirty dirty turd... No. unacceptable. The friendships between the three woman was beautiful. The family Dynamic was tough to read. How her dad just couldn't accept that she was a hero and she was a veteran. Who SERVED PROUDLY . Just was crazy. How women were and to this day are treated as less than. Boggles the mind.

New Heights

book cover


New Heights picks up right where the first book left off and shows Arthur training hard to become stronger in a world full of magic and danger. The action scenes are awesome, and we get to see Arthur level up his powers in some really cool ways. What I liked most is that the book isn’t just about fighting—it also shows Arthur trying to protect his family and figure out who he wants to be. Even though he has crazy powers, he still struggles with things like responsibility and growing up. New Heights is a great read. I liked it even more than the first book.
