Just For The Summer
by Abby Jimenez
View in Library Catalog
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.

Once again, Sarah Graves tells a story that is intriguing and and thoughtful, while adding some humor between the two main characters, Jake and Ellie. Her writing makes the reader truly think about how? what? why? On to the next one!
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.

The Sisters
by Jonas Hassen Khemiri

book cover


An infinitely readable family saga centering around the magnetic three sisters of a Swedish-Tunisian family and the curse that invades their lives. I loved the structure of this book (very important given the 600+ pages) and the way it drew you into the story of the immigrant experience and inescapable bonds of family, loss and love. Highly recommend.
The Skull

book cover


This book is recommended for grade 1 - 4, ages 6-9. It is formatted as a chapter book. I thought it was dark for a children's book. I've read this author before and he often has an unusual twist in his stories. I felt like a 6 year would be a little scared after reading this book. I would recommend for older kids.

Dark yet delightful read. I enjoyed another book by this author so much I thought I’d try her first novel and it did not disappoint. If you like the supernatural (or even if you don’t think that’s your genre!) this is a wonderful read. Beautifully written.
