Good book!!!!
The 24th Hour
by James Patterson

book cover


I enjoy the Women's Murder Club books a lot. They usually center around a particular murder mystery. This book, however, had three different plot lines, and the chapters kept jumping around. I found it disconcerting, so I didn't enjoy this book as much as the others in the series.
Madness

many books about institutionalization try to take a side on either institutionalization or deinstitutionalization - this book walks the line between both - emphasizing the major failures of both, because the reality is that both failed in catastrophic ways. finished this one on July 11th.

Love this author! Have read many of her Trash and Treasures Mysteries. Humorous, mysterious... but mostly humorous because the main character is quite something else.

If you like baseball, you'll love this story. Between Joey's Italian family, which revolve all events around food - and Bobbi's family, that own a llama farm, these two young kids find they have more common that they realize. A funny and serious book for middle grade readers.
In The Shadow Of St. Anthony
by Andrew Hernon

book cover


"In the Shadow of St. Anthony offers a gripping, horror-infused mystery deeply rooted in the unique character of its neighborhood and the mood of 1980s SoHo. If you're drawn to eerie, atmospheric thrillers rich in cultural texture and can also appreciate a narrator with imperfections and a slightly uneven pace then this debut will likely leave a lasting impression."

Mixed review for this one…I enjoyed the aspect of getting to know the characters but overall a little disappointed in the end.
The Heart's Invisible Furies
by John Boyne

book cover


The author is a fan of John Irving and it shows - a oftentimes delightful book filled with rich characters. The story does a lot to illuminate how the gay community suffered throughout the decades of 1940s and onward in Ireland. Many of the plot points and twists and turns were a bit predictable and rote, but otherwise a good solid emotionally-fulfilling read.
Just For The Summer

book cover


This book was a lot more emotionally fraught than I expected it to be. Jimenez handled discussions of grief and parental abuse well, and while I disagreed with the FMC’s actions, I was still able to empathize. The author consulted many nurses and therapists while writing the book and it shows in the depth of understanding and empathy given to the characters.
