I enjoyed reading this while working sleepaway camp and needed something quick to get through. Loved the style too! Finished this on July 7th.

Things In Jars

What a delightful, absolutely beautifully written book! This was a random find on the library shelf for me and when I started I was hesitant because of the otherworldly/ghostly aspect but I pressed on and it was worth it! Out of my normal genres and so good!

Sisters with emotional baggage grieve their other sister’s death. I enjoyed the writing style and the characters were interesting. Ending was satisfying!

Imagine, if you will, that your life completely changes because of an accident… You take responsibility for your alcohol and drug usage and just when you think you will be free, a pandemic happens. This was a powerful and moving book. (I shed some tears.)

The Call Of The Wrens

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 Dream Hotel
by Laila Lalami

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.

Not my cup of tea

Madness
by Antonia Hylton

book cover


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.

A nice story, although a little sad. Not as well written as some other authors I've read, but a pleasant read overall.
