The Call Of The Wrens
by Jenni L Walsh
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Another good strong female lead WWII novel, to include WWI as well which is different! I enjoyed this one although felt like the majority of the book was a very long lead up to the action. Worth the wait though!

The Fabric Of Civilization

book cover


Such an interesting book! I got a little bored once I got into the trade and consumers sections but the earlier parts of the book were loaded with very detailed explanations of fibers, history of textiles, and how it has impacted humanity.

I thought I had the book figured out until the final twist at the end. A great mystery!

The Hudson

book cover


Overall a very good read. A little long and dragging at times (it’s a long and detailed book) but excellent comprehensive history of the Hudson River. I especially enjoyed the early revolutionary history! But all of it was interesting and I learned a lot!

An achingly beautiful novel depicting the immigrant experience as seen through the hard work of low wage jobs and how we treat those in this country who live on the margins. Highly recommend.

Very interesting!!!!

The Dream Hotel
by Laila Lalami
View in Library Catalog
book cover


If you ever watched the movie, Minority Report, this book has a similar take on the surveillance state. However, Lalami's presentation feels more real and prescient and less futuristic. With the rise of AI intelligence and integrated computer systems, one can easily imagine the fate of our protagonist, as she is swept up and placed in a detention center based on an algorithm's output. The book is gripping and tense at times, but also does a good job of showing us how technology can worm its way into our lives in ways we may not have imagined.

Chapter 19 - In this chapter Jude is learning from the "Ghost" who is teaching her how to spy for Prince Dain. The Ghost is showing her how to kill, camouflage herself, and leave undetected. She is doing this in the name of Prince Dain - but prior to this assignment, she was not a person who killed.
