The Evolving Truth Of Ever-stronger Will
by Maya MacGregor
View in Library Catalog



Definitely not as good as the first one, which is disappointing - the writing is a little clumsier and the representation is more heavy-handed. I still sped through it and enjoyed it, though!
Time Long Gone
by J A Jance
View in Library Catalog



I normally do not read (or listen to the J P Beaumont series, just never thought they would be as interesting as other J A Jance series. I have to say, I was wrong! Fifty years ago, when she was five, Sister Mary Katherine witnessed something terrible . . . Now, J P Beaumont is tasked to lead the investigation of a 50-year-old murder. Gruesome details are recalled via hypno therapy. But, as usual, Beaumont is raveled up in more than one murder investigation and now someone is eliminating suspects and witnesses a half-century after the fact.
the glass woman
by Caroline Lea

The Glass Woman is historical fiction set in the 1680s in Iceland. The story evolves when a young woman marries a man to save her and her mother from poverty and impending death. Her home with the new husband is far from her mother and the new village is wrought with superstition and secrets of the man's first wife and her death. Rosa is held captive in her new home as she is not permitted to explore her new surroundings as she cares for the home and meets her new husband's expectations. The story is quite slow to evolve and I was tempted to not finish the book, but finally the plot evolves to reveal a true love story that was not expected!
Astrid Parker Doesn't Fail
by Ashley Herring Blake

This was a fun read. I love queer rom coms, so this is exactly what I am hoping for when I pick up a queer rom com. In this book, Astrid Parker, an interior designer, is tasked with remodeling an old inn; the granddaughter of the inn's owner, Jordan, seemingly gets in her way, but then they realize that maybe it's not negative tension that is developing between them. As they work on the inn design, they butt heads but also find that there is more going on between them than they realized. This was a fun read I would recommend to any fans of rom coms. I enjoyed it a lot and laughed often. It is also a great story of friendship, as Astrid has a very supportive and caring group of friends who support her along the way.
The Ugly Cry

This is a great memoir, that is a beautiful dedication to her grandmother that raised her.
Death In The Details
by Katie Tietjen
View in Library Catalog



A historical murder mystery with a heroine who creates dollhouse miniatures. Inspired by the life and work of Frances Glessner Lee but stands on its own as a good cosy read.
Inferno
by Dan Brown
View in Library Catalog



In the fourth to the series, Robert Langdon travels into Dante's Inferno to save the world from the threat of plague. I really enjoyed this book. It consistently continues the story of the art historian, and who does not enjoy a Dante Alighieri subplot? However, the art historical and symbological references are less present than in the past three books and reason why I discounted one star. I believe this is yet another must-read of this series. It is the perfect summer read for history lovers like me.
The Book of Three
by Lloyd Alexander

The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander is the first in a series of five books in the fantasy genre. Where the main character Taran is faced with many hard choices for a boy of only 12. The book has many turns and twists, it was a very enjoyable read.
The Fireborne Blade
by Charlotte Bond
View in Library Catalog



Maddileh’s tale contains a rich history of dragons, ill-fated knights, scheming squires, and sapphic love, with deceptions and double-crosses that will keep you guessing right up to its dramatic conclusion. Ultimately, The Fireborne Blade is about the roles we refuse to accept and the place we make for ourselves in the world. I really enjoyed this. I've been in slumps off and on all year, and I enjoy turning to novellas when that is the case. I'm not always a big high fantasy fan, but I think this was well served being a novella. I liked the characters and the twist at the end. I didn't love the jumping between storylines at first, and found the entries of "The Demise and Demesne of Dragons" less interesting than the main story, but I came to like them by the end and, because it was a novella, I can't think of a better way to share that information with the readers. I look forward to the next in the series.
How The King Of Elfhame Learned To Hate Stories
by Holly Black
View in Library Catalog



I read the original series a long time ago, so it took me a little bit to get back into the flow of the faerie world, but this was a well-written story. It felt a little more like a cash grab than a genuine addition to the series, honestly, but it was well written, so I forgive it.
