Before The Coffee Gets Cold
by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
View in Library Catalog



This, right here, is why I love Japanese literature in translation. This might be the best of that genre that I've ever read. Sweet, meaningful, beautifully written and wonderfully translated, I absolutely adored this book and cannot wait to read the sequels.
Gay Girl Prayers
by Emily Austin
View in Library Catalog



As a queer woman who was raised Catholic, I appreciated Gay Girl Prayers and its reframing of the prayers and biblical verses that I could never relate to growing up. Some passages made me giggle, some made me think, and some words haunted me. Overall, it was a good, quick read for an afternoon.
Tomorrow, And Tomorrow, And Tomorrow

I overall really enjoyed this book! I originally had the misconception that you needed to be a gamer or know about games if you wanted to read this book. I was happily surprised to find that though this book did talk about games heavily, the book also explored the theme of growing up and followed the main characters as they matured.
Tales From The Cafe

Once more this was the exact same thing as the first two, and once more I ate it up. Absolutely beautiful. That's not changing. I can't wait to read the next one! I hope it's the same.
Before We Forget Kindness

Once again, what is there to say? This time, I read it as a physical book again, so I didn't have to worry about the audiobook. It made me cry, just like the other four in this series have.
Barracoon
by Zora Neale Hurston
View in Library Catalog



In 1927, Zora Neale Hurston went to Plateau, Alabama, just outside Mobile, to interview eighty-six-year-old Cudjo Lewis. Of the millions of men, women, and children transported from Africa to America as slaves, Cudjo was then the only person alive to tell the story of this integral part of the nation's history. Hurston was there to record Cudjo's firsthand account of the raid that led to his capture and bondage fifty years after the Atlantic slave trade was outlawed in the United States. This book was recommended to me by my teacher, and I thought it was really interesting. I felt like it could have been more than it was, but as my first foray into this author's work, I can't say I'm disappointed. It wasn't excellent, but it was important.
Defending Jacob
by William Landay
View in Library Catalog



As a crime/mystery book lover this book was great! This novel stood out among the rest, as it takes place from a lawyer’s perspective rather than from the person who committed the crime. The book follows Andy, who is the assistant district attorney in his town. He loves his job, until his son, Jacob, is accused of murder. Following the twists and turns of the justice system and teenage emotions of his son, this book is a page turner. I highly recommend this novel!
I Found You
by Lisa Jewell
View in Library Catalog



What happens when you find yourself on a beach without your memory? With the help of a Good Samaritan, Frank attempts to remember his life and what drove him to forget. Told in a confusing set of flashbacks, where we don’t know if Frank is the victim or perpetrator, it’s a suspenseful tale that leaves the audience guessing.
The Seven Husbands Of Evelyn Hugo
by Taylor Jenkins Reid
View in Library Catalog



This novel tells the story of famous Evelyn Hugo, American actor and heartthrob, marrying and outliving seven husbands along the way. This book was well written, but seemed to move a bit slowly as the pages carefully outlined many details from all seven marriages. Although the historical context was interesting, I found myself wanting to know how it ended and then was somewhat disappointed with the concluding details. Overall, this book left me with questions and wanting a bit more information and clarity.
Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief (book 1)
by Rick Riordan
View in Library Catalog



Percy Jackson is attacked by Furies (monsters) and finds out that he is the son of Poseidon. Grover and Annabeth join him in his quest to find Zeus’s master bolt. The details about Greek mythology was really cool to read about.
