Amazing finished at 2:58 roughly and I love the happiness at the end, BUR QUINCEY MORRIS DIED.

A Guest in the House
by Emily Carroll
View in Library Catalog
book cover


A classic "there is something in the lake" horror story. I enjoyed the differentiation between the monochrome reality and the colorful dream. What I struggled with most is what happened in the last few pages between the moms (?). Not the kind of quality I'm used to from the great First Second publishing.

Very personal yet connecting but be wary with some themes still a 10/10 would read again in a few years

The Joy of Snacking
by Hilary Fitzgerald Campbell
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This graphic novel spoke to me. I grew up with a bad relationship with food, and I understand the difficulties of trying foods when texture sensitivity is involved. Dougie saying Hillary only eats "White food" especially hit since I was like that for a long time. What connected me the most to the story is how those snacks connected me to my parents, and how I connect to my partner like Hillary to E. Depicting how one's perception to food influenced one's self worth can be tricky. I've seen writers portray it poorly and generalize it. Not this book and not this writer. I'm happy this book is available and accessible to readers like me. It validates my struggles, fears, and choices.

Courage to Dream: Tales of Hope in the Holocaust
by Neal Schusterman, Andrés Vera Martínez
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I appreciate the choice to mention real the nations and people that made a positive difference during the Holocaust. The most emotionally impactful story in the collection was "The Untold." A lot of that is happening because of ignorant and hate-filled individuals think the answer to their problems is killing them. It scares me how many people might look at this and gloss over the realities of our situation. I'm glad the stories are so easy to read, but I'm not sure the depth of tragedy will sink in with young readers. Still, I enjoyed them, and the mythical elements that made the subject lighter.

Parable of the Sower
by Octavia E. Butler, Damian Duffy, John Jennings, &
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This a tough read given the parallels to the current political climate. It reaffirms the reality we are living in as U.S. citizens. It scares me more than any horror movie or horror book. Great art, realistic story, challenging read. I do not recommend this book for anyone who is already afraid of the current state of our nation. I read this before "Parable of the Sower," and it worked as a stand-alone piece.
