In The Shadow Of St. Anthony
by Andrew Hernon
View in Library Catalog
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."

This was a fun adventure romance! Typically I hate the miscommunication trope but the dual narratives and insane amount of pining made it enjoyable. The two characters were hilariously oblivious.

Another excellent read by Marian Keyes! A rags (ish) to riches (ish) tale involving amystery illness and trails of raising a family ... the characters are so well developed that I miss (someof) them!

This was a cute novel
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.
Death By Chocolate Raspberry Scone

book cover


This was my first time reading from this author. Really liked her writing style. The book was humorous and very serious at times. Two women who own a bakery get involved in shenanigans that put them in very dire situations - but in this book they overcame the obstacles they were faced with and found a twist of an outcome.
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.
