The Frozen River

View in Library Catalog

book cover


The mid 1700's in Maine the story of Martha and her family's lives. How she became a midwife and the fight she lead to overcome the evil of one man. It makes me think how far women's right have grown from that time and worry about what we might lose

In The Lives Of Puppets

book cover


Beautiful writing, but slow start - I had to keep reminding myself to pick it back up, because the beginning didn't really "grab" me the way some books do. But it picked to a lot in the second half and I ended up loving it it. Great writing, and interesting characters that you really come to care about.

This is the first book of a new graphic novel series by Brandon Sanderson. The artwork is phenomenal It is rich and detailed. This volume is really the introduction of the characters, the worlds and the background of the story.

I am a Kevin Fedarko fan ever since The Emerald Mile. He did not disappoint. Injected with humor, it was a pleasure to picture each and every day of his adventure. Great book!

Stonewall: A Building. An Uprising. A Revolution
by Rob Sanders

book cover


It's not a bad explanation of the Stonewall Uprising, but it's got a little bit of a strange flow. It's supposed to be told by the building, but that feels detached from the emotional impact of the movement. The most interesting part is the interview at the end with an Uprising participant.

Enjoyed the clever pun carried throughout the book to put across the encouraging message that each of us should keep trying. The bright colors will engage beginning readers. The light-hearted tone keeps the message from being over-bearing. Loved the last line/pun.

This is a departure for Tana French. I enjoyed how she developed the relationships among the characters, and how the story unfolded.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves: The Road To Neverwinter
by Jaleigh Johnson

book cover


This book gives the backstory to the character Edgin from The Dungeons & Dragons Honor among Thieves movie. I was not really fond of this character in the movie, and I found his character in this book to be equally distasteful. The book was fine as a backstory of this character, but I continue to dislike the character in general. Understanding his backstory and motivations did not make me in any way more sympathetic to the character.

Enjoyed. It is set in London so that made me happy. Loved the touch of a Harry Kane goal.

I like that at the end she made friends. It made me feel grossed out because in one part she kisses somebody.
