This book was alright. I liked it but I also found it a little too predictable. I didn’t enjoy it too, too much but it wasn’t terrible. It was a little enjoyable but I found it a bit boring.

This book was fantastic. How Harry spoke to Voldemort, how Neville killed the snake ” Nagini”, how everyone helped him even though they were people who was dead because of the fight on Hogwarts, how Hermione and Ron helped Harry to find Horcruxes, how snape was in love with Lily and protected him, how Harry didn't died when Voldemort killed, how he was the leader of the deathly hallows, how Ron Hermione were married and had kids, how Ron Ginny were married had kids, and how they kids are funny and mainly James. There is so many wonderful ending in this book.

My Brilliant Friend: A Novel
by Elena Ferrante

book cover


Translated from Italian, this gives the impression (possibly mistaken) that all disagreements are settled by repeatedly hitting and punching those who disagree. The brilliant friend drops out of school, marries wealth, becomes unrecognizable, but is perhaps brilliant.

Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes

This book is the sequel to Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods. In this book, Percy Jackson explains all about some of the heroes in different Greek Myths. Still with humor and sarcasm of course. Awesome read.

When The Tides Held The Moon
by Venessa Vida Kelley
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I am admittedly not usually the reader who loves fantasy but I knew from reviews that I wanted to read When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley. The cover is eye-catching with the graphic of Benny and the merman. I loved the oceanic colors used for it. Benny is on his own in life after losing his aunt. He has come to America and is working as a blacksmith. Benny has difficulties with his breathing and being in an environment such as a metal shop really affects his health. Benny is a talented blacksmith and his art is noticed by the owner of one of the local amusement parks - Luna Park in Coney Island. Benny is hired to build a large tank for a new exhibit and isn't told of all the details. Benny finds himself becoming attached to the new exhibit - a real merman from the ocean. I loved Benny's compassion and moral struggles within himself and with the merman. The other characters in the book that make up the menagerie were also such a great group of characters to read about. My two favorite parts in this book were the illustrations and the storyline. The illustrations added to the story and worked together with the cover. I usually don't read much fantasy but this was such a good story. (from my Goodreads review)

Catch Soccer's Beat

It was okay. It was too short and it just didn’t really appeal to me.

The Survivors
by Jane Harper

book cover


I’ve been reading a lot of romances lately and picked this out of my TBR to get back into thrillers and because I just found out this is a show on Netflix. I’m not sure why, but I didn’t get as into this book as I had hoped. It could have been the writing style, it could have been not being able to picture the setting, or it could have simply been that I wasn’t in the mindset for a thriller. Regardless, this book was just okay. I’m excited to watch the tv series and see how things are visually presented and this might make me enjoy the book more. More to come on that!

I loved it because I love when books have the main character have a disability.
