These murder club meetings are becoming a regular thing. We need a new name, though.

One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus

March 30, 2021 by Catticus Finch Leave a Comment

The Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars, One of Us Is Lying is the story of what happens when five strangers walk into detention and only four walk out alive. Everyone is a suspect, and everyone has something to hide. The five students who land in detention for breaking the “no cellphone” rule are: Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule. Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess. Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing. Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher. And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of […]

Finishing the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy

Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor

Dreams of Gods & Monsters by Laini Taylor

I loved Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone and was excited to dig into Days of Blood & Starlight, the second book in the trilogy. When that book ended on a cliff hanger, I did what any other bookworm would do at midnight – downloaded the next book to my Kindle and stayed up the rest of the night finishing it! “Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a world free of bloodshed and war.” […]

Lady Knight by Tamora Pierce

March 7, 2021 by katie71483 6 Comments

I was introduced to Tamora Pierce and the realm of Tortall in 1986 by a classmate of mine named Alec Deleon. He was reading a copy of Alanna: The First Adventure while in the library at lunchtime. I asked him why he was reading a book about a GIRL when he was a BOY in that know-it-all way that ten-year-olds have. He said I should try it since I liked The Hero & the Crown by Robin McKinley. Evidently that little jerk was actually paying […]

Verona Comics

Verona Comics by Jennifer Dugan

March 6, 2021 by Caitycat Leave a Comment

Verona Comics is yet another modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet. The two star-crossed kiddos in this story meet at a comic convention prom. Jubilee is dressed as a peacock character from her step-mother’s indie comic when she encounters a young man in a button down shirt wearing a Batman mask. Jubilee was tasked with leaving her comfort zone to add some life experience to her cello playing, so she spends the evening talking with Office Batman. Afterwards, even though it was supposed to be […]

Beauty Mark: a Verse Novel of Marilyn Monroe by Carole Boston Weatherford

March 3, 2021 by cosbrarian 4 Comments

In this slim volume, Weatherford imagines a memoir written by Monroe, chronicling her life from her tumultuous childhood in foster care to her troubled final days in her L.A. home. It includes both personal, introspective pieces about Monroe’s internal struggles as well as pieces that catalog her film career and persona, and the public response to it. I devour any biographical media of Monroe’s as she is my number one icon. As a teen, I stole a poster of her from a neighboring school’s production […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
