Seeing the terrible Twilight parody, "Vampires Suck", inspired me to write a better one! Since I am Christian, there's no bad words or crude content, because I know things can be funny without being in the gutter!
I started on the book in January of 2021 during covid, expecting to have it published by that summer. Well, I got diagnosed with cancer in April (which is about to be 3 years ago!) and that turned my world upside down, as you can imagine. But I did have about 11 chapters solidly written, so I promised myself that if I survived surgery, I would publish those chapters as Part 1 and finish Part 2 later.
The most intense book from this series yet! Filled with spicy romance, action scenes, and surprising twists along the way! This series has a chokehold on me and I am so excited to get to book 5! The character development in this series is chef's kiss! - Olivia
Such a good read! What starts out as a "Deal with the Devil" situation turns into a story of loss, longing, and finding yourself and righting wrongs. If you like fantasy, witches, Irish folklore, or traveling from the past to the modern day, then this book is right for you!
I had a hard time picking this book up each night but the more I read the more I liked it. It's a sweet and sometimes humorous story about a woman who is taking care of her special needs sister. Probably not for everyone but as someone helping to care for elderly parents, I could identify with the main character.
Didn't realize how short this story was. I've been trying to read things set in New York or LA, and this is thought to be one of the best. Another letdown for me, considering its praise. Didn't think what happens was so compelling. The writing of Capote here didn't win me over, either. None of the characters are interesting or relatable to me. This edition included three other short stories, all unremarkable. This is probably one of the view instances where the movie is actually better than the book, which I'm looking forward to. I might check out more from Capote, too, at some point. "In Cold Blood" would be my next choice of his work. - Brian
Really enjoyed this one. Set in New York in the '80s, following a young man's life working at a magazine (inspired by the New Yorker), clubbing and the nightlife scene, his abuse of drugs and estrangement from his model wife living overseas. Told from a second person point of view, if the premise interests you, check it out. You can tell from how detailed descriptions of the city are, it's heavily inspired from the author's own experiences. I saw the movie, starring Michael J. Fox and Phoebe Cates, and liked it a lot. - Brian
Enjoyable memoir told from the perspective of the daughter as well as her gay dad and her mother. Provides some history of the modern gay rights movement in Canada as well as some insight into what it was like to "come out" as a gay dad in the 1970s.
Fun read about 3 long-time women friends who've made it to midlife. All 3 are struggling to find their place and identity for the second half of their lives. Set largely in Cyprus, the 3 friends go on holiday together. Familiarity doesn't breed contempt but it does mean that they have familiar pinch points with each other's personality. This is a good book to take a break from more serious fiction or non-fiction.
An interesting approach to telling the stories of veterans. Kudos to the author/artist for all the work it took to capture oral histories/interviews and then transform these into compelling stories of veterans' accounts of their careers and especially the disconnect they often felt upon their return to stateside.
Jill McCorkle is a gem of a short story writer. This collection doesn't quite match the excellence of Crash Diet or Creatures of Habit. However, readers will be pleased to find her standard mix of humor (sometimes dark) and poignancy.
This fascinating book describes historical events that might never have happened, or that might have happened very differently, all thanks to some small, seemingly insignificant event which, quite literally, may have changed the course of history! How did Napoleon's hemorrhoids potentially lead to his defeat by the British at the Battle of Waterloo? Why were American planes only 2 minutes away from being fired upon during the Cuban missile crisis? Could WWII have been prevented entirely? You'll have to read the book to find out... - Cassandra
Fascinating dive into history describing scientific discoveries that - at the time - seemed brilliant and of enormous benefit to humanity (or the world), but which subsequently had disastrous consequences. Think... opium, trans fats, the insecticide DDT, eugenics... - Cassandra
I read this with my 11 year old daughter as we love to read together at night before bed, and I expected it to be just another kids' book. But I was pleasantly surprised by the "grown-up" theme and found myself really enjoying the book. It presents an intriguingly dystopian scenario, blending Mexican folklore with science fiction, while also raising thought-provoking questions about eugenics and humanity's potential impact on the Earth. - Cassandra
I wanted to read something set in Los Angeles, and this book is constantly mentioned as one of the best. Set in the 1930s, it's based on the author's life experiences and relationship that inspired the story. I know that it's fiction, but a lot of what happens seems unrealistic when everything that happens is based in reality. It taking place nearly 100 years ago also made it hard to get into and understand at points. Some of the content/wording is dated and would be considered inappropriate nowadays. Of course, parts of it are well written and unique, in a stream of consciousness style. I can get where the praise for it comes from with that, but the story itself was pretty underwhelming to me. Too bad there are no great modern novels set in LA. That's what I really wanted, thinking about it more. - Brian
I have only gotten through the first three books in this series but so far I am in love with this series. Think Twilight but better & instead of a shy/cringe-y main female character, a strong, and badass one. The way this author writes is also pretty laid back, so these books are very easy reads. - Olivia
These were my first books that are in the dark romance genre. Some people may want to check the trigger warnings prior to reading. But these books were amazing. Thrilling, scary, disturbing, sexy, unnerving, this series is one that will grab your attention and will not let go. - Olivia
These books are amazing! The details and storyline completely envelope you into the world of dragon riders. If you are interested in action, dragons, magic, and romance, this is the series for you! - Olivia
Have you ever dreamed of dating that one guy you met online? Hoping that he is as obsessed as you are? Well you're in luck, he is :). A couple meets online and when given the chance to meet in person, their hearts skip a beat and their true intentions and desires reveal themselves, and neither is sure that they can handle the other. - Kristen
A great read if you're looking to read a romance thriller. it's modern and a fantastic read if you're looking for light suspense with romance. It's about a man that is obsessed with this girl and will kill anyone and anything that touches her.
I liked how much of the problems described in the book apply to decisions I have made in the past. Big and small. Made me want to rethink the choices I make and make sure I am not doing anything wrong Quick example without spoiling the book completely. How your view of something changes after you have committed to it and how you will stick to a thing even if it's been completely debunked just because you have already committed to a choice.
I used to be an avid podcast listener... in the car. When Covid hit and I wasn't going anywhere, I just stopped keeping up with my favorites. For the first time in nearly four years (!) I queued up a podcast and started listening to the 7-part series "Borrowed and Banned" by the Brooklyn Public Library. In response to the recent spike in book challenges and bans in schools and libraries across the US, BPL is among a handful of US public libraries to offer digital library cards to those affected. On "Borrowed and Banned," they interview the students, teachers, librarians, and authors impacted by these book bans. It's very interesting to hear people's stories, real examples of the impact. Sometimes the tone seems a bit melodramatic, but these were recorded in a more frenzied time. They also promoted "Overdue," a podcast about all the books you've been meaning to read. Weekly, the hosts tackle different books from their backlog and talk about them. It sounds interesting! (As if I need to add more books to my "to read" list!) - Amy
I was excited to find a whole display of "Dark Academia" novels at the bookstore. While this isn't groundbreaking prose, I enjoyed reading the anxiety and interactions of graduate advisors, advisees and university colleagues. - Autumn
It was a good book, wonderful storyline and the author wrote the book in a special way. The only reason I'm giving these 4 stars is because I didn't like the main character. I guess it's just who he is and the author wanted us to see him that way.
This was an amazing book. It teaches us that there is more to life than what we see on the surface. Another thing I liked about the book was that these 100 secrets were originally scientific findings, but the author decided to break it down for everybody to understand. It is a must read for anyone who wants to make changes to their lives. - Naomi
This is on a lot of lists of best Agatha Christie novels but I don't see why. Though it's a quick breezy read, it's weak as a mystery novel. The plot is ludicrous. The characters are silly. It just drips precious. And because of the paper-thin plot I figured out the arch-criminal, which I never do, mostly because I don't really care to figure it out before the end. I just like reading how the story unfolds.
