Agnes at the End of the World
by Kelly Mcwilliams
View in Library Catalog
This is a story about two teenage sisters living in a cult where the people are all brainwashed by a prophet and they believe in polygamy. There is also a global pandemic going on along with a little touch of fantasy splashed in. It's faced paced and held my attention. I recommend this book.

I like this book because Danny likes dinosaurs like I do. When Danny went to the museum and saw dinosaurs he wanted to play with one. In this story Danny meets a live dinosaur at the museum and goes out into the City with him for a day of adventure.

Depressing book but well written. Keeps your interest about a family that has suffered a great loss.
A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet
by Becky Chambers
View in Library Catalog
This book was a little absurd. I don't typically read sci-fi that involves an entirely new universe and various alien creatures, so maybe it's just not for me. However, I did enjoy many aspects of this story. Chambers created an entire universe with new creatures, social structures, and cultures. From a sociological perspective, it was fascinating. The relationships between the characters were definitely the most intriguing part of this book. The plot itself left a lot to be desired. It truly was about the journey and not the destination. If you enjoy world building and escaping into complex relationships between various species, then this book is for you. However, if you like an adventure story driven more by plot, you may want to look elsewhere.
Looking For Alaska
by John Green
View in Library Catalog
Looking for Alaska was one of my favorites when I first read it back in high school. Now a college graduate, and I wanted to see how it would hold up. There were still many things to love about this story. It's easy to read, has likeable characters, and is a fairly straight forward plot that does try to tackle some of life's deeper questions. From a slightly more mature perspective, I question these characters and their actions a little bit more than I did several years ago, but I still think it's worth a read, especially if you have never read any other John Green books before.

In Shock: My Journey from Death to recovery and the Redemptive Power of hope
by Rana Awdish
View in Library Catalog
It is always an experience when we get the experience of living on the other side of the tracks. The author did an excellent job of expressing what her experience was like when she wore the robe of a patient instead of that of a doctor. She had the experience of lying in a hospital bed and watching and hearing the treatments that patients get from their medical team. She was able to experience the coldness, insensitivity, the mistakes, the delays, dealing with attitudes and the attitude of being treated as a subject, as a bed #. She saw and heard, ego, self-satisfaction, nonchalant attitude from the medical team caring for her. This was an eye opener for her and made her determine in her heart that she would not display these attitudes in her practice.
The Wedding Dress Danielle Steel
by Danielle Steele
View in Library Catalog
Danielle Steele paints a portrait of life in America during the 1920,s through the cultural changes of the 60,s. She depicts four generations of women in one family, their motherhood, tragedies and victories. I would recommend this novel if you like historical fiction. For me it was inspirational, heartwarming, rich in detail and character driven. *****

The Sisterhood books are always a great read. This time they helped a young woman, who lost everything, get her revenge.
