Yellowface is one of those books that after finishing it, you will want to re-read it. It isn't long but it is full of emotion. This one deals with so many different things in such a short time. It deals with racism, plagiarism, the stresses of being a writer, jealousy, friendship, and the publishing industry.… Continue reading Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
This isn't my typical genre but Fairy Tale by Stephen King was worth the read. I think it could have been 100-200 pages shorter, but still a classic King read. Charlie Reade is a typical teenage boy who is living with his father, as his mother died when he was younger. He is a baseball and… Continue reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King
After the tragic death of Matthew Perry, I HAD to read this one! I (and every person in the world) LOVED Friends! You think you have an idea of who someone is by watching them every week, but you really don't! This one was sad and real and will resonate deeply with readers. “Hi, my… Continue reading Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry
I read this for the second time and it did not disappoint. I know why this won the Goodreads Best Debut Novel and was a Nominee for the Best Historical Fiction. I loved Elizabeth Zott and her zaney personality. And a dog named Six Thirty!! Who could resist this funny and brilliant book. Chemist Elizabeth… Continue reading Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

The reality is simpler, less melodramatic, and far worse. You just start to forget.” Dan is a professional ghost hunter who's never actually found a ghost. But his newest case is… Continue reading Our Last Night by Taylor Adams
True Biz was an interesting and informative book about the deaf community that I didn't know I needed. Novic created a well-written book that included a mini ASL lessons and history regarding the ASL community. Combining elements of a tender coming-of-age narrative, an electrifying political awakening, and a heartfelt homage to Deaf culture, TRUE BIZ… Continue reading True Biz by Sara Novic
This is one of those books that is and intense emotional roller coaster. I went into this one thinking this book was about something totally different and was surprised to find out it was a rescue mission all along. Six minutes into Flight 1421 from Honolulu and disaster strikes! The engine explodes, and the plane… Continue reading Drowning by T.J. Newman
This is the follow-up to Beartown. I would suggest reading Beartown FIRST if you haven't read that before reading this one. This is about how a town can make hockey it's lifeblood. I felt like I could almost be living in this town. The excitement and tense feelings just jump right off the page. Have… Continue reading Us Against You by Fredrik Backman
This was a heartfelt story about a small town hero and is for anyone who has any interest in baseball. In this story, Winston Browne is a small town sheriff with a big heart. This takes place in the 50's in Florida. I thought the small town of Moab, FL with it's population of 912… Continue reading The Incredible Winston Brown by Sean Dietrich
I couldn't get a hard copy of this right away so I listened to the audio to see if this lived up to the hype. And at first, there was a bit of world and character building so I wasn't immediately drawn in. But then, the chemistry between characters picked up so I was hooked… Continue reading Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
