Strange Planet
by Nathan W. Pyle
View in Library Catalog
book cover


What fun I had reading Strange Planet by Nathan Pyle - A MUST READ - an intelligent comic relief - with a play on words that made me smile from beginning to end - that I constantly found myself giggling - I never imaged I would enjoy a Graphic novel and I certainly did! It wasn't a mystery and it wasn't a who-did it and I couldn't put it down

An amazing short story by a great author. Ravi unexpectedly looses his father. His mother falls apart which forces Ravi to enter adulthood all too soon. Ravi with the help of a neighbor and a friend begins to realize that grief is missing a person in many different ways. He develops an understanding of himself and the others around him. A very emotional read which gave me goosebumps. Wish it were longer.

A short (277 pages) novel, but packed with emotion! The protagonist, Michael Woodbine is very relatable. When he was 7 years old, he nearly died from a fireworks accident. We meet him at age 19, starting college, where he meets his film professor, Robert Denning, who will influence Michael's life in a profound way. Deals with the themes of self-acceptance, love, and parenting. This story will stay with me for a long time.

I enjoyed this story about a german woman immigrant to the US. I was saddened and shocked to find how immigrants were treated in Ellis Island! I have family who came to Ellis island. The fact that this Eugenics program existed is very disturbing to me. I found that I learned a lot from this work of historical fiction. I enjoyed Lena and Ella’s story and that of the people who lived by Blue ridge in Va. It is shocking how they threw them off their land. I recommend this book. Irlt is very informative.

Great Big Beautiful Life: Reese's Book Club

The story within the story is what made me give this 5 stars. The mystery involved in Margaret Ives's life really kept me enthralled. There is romance but the love shared within Alice's and Margaret's lives are bigger than any romance. Emily Henry brought home the bigger message that life is about loving, sharing love and how we take care of those we love.

Murder At The End Of The World
by Jonathan Garrett

book cover


This book was not for me. It wasn't as well written, and it was full of too many plot points. Plus, most of those plot points were entirely unnecessary. The story was full of sci-fi clichés. There were no characters worth rooting for or caring about, and anything they did wrong, led to zero consequences.

This book made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think and it made me feel. What a beautiful, wonderful, amazing book. It is also a great choice for the 'book about art' space on the tic tac toe board!

This was strange in the best way — atmospheric, a little eerie, and hard to put down. Some parts dragged, but overall it was good.

This novel was definitely one of my favorite recently read books. it is very well written. I was not expecting the ending at all. I actually thought I had the plot figured out but at the very end was surprised. I highly recommend this book.
