Midnight at the Haunted Hotel
by Chandler Warner

What was going on was all the pick your own adventure and the answer was always the bigger number. The story was also boring compared to other boxcar books.

Cute!

Persepolis
by Marjane Satrapi
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Marjane shares her experience of living in Iran as a child during the Islamic revolution in graphic novel form. Her story is both heartbreaking and hopeful, as we see her parents (and Marjane) find joy in small rebellions but also see friends and neighbors lose freedoms and their lives. It does a great job of showing how quickly these things can happen and feels particularly prescient in this moment in American history. It’s a quick but harrowing read; make it part of your 250th anniversary celebration as a reminder of what could happen, and as inspiration of what is worth fighting for.

Another great fast-paced mystery novel in the Kinsey Millhone series by Sue Grafton. This one focused on a professional shoplifting ring run by the Mob. The novel is just a plain, fun summer read!

Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead

This book is a great read for anyone who wants a wider perspective on some challenges that face women in the American corporate culture. The book is data-driven mostly, with some anecdotal evidences as well. I couples reading this along with "Think Again" by Adam Grant.

The Couple at the Table

book cover


The joy of reading a suspense thriller is to have bits of the puzzle along the way. This novel left me wanting. I figured out who had killed Jane in the first few chapters of the book. It was a bit too obvious. For the plot though, it dragged on until the last few chapters when SUDDENLY the main detective just pieced it together without explanation. Then, the long-winded explanation of how he figured it all out just about bored me to tears. It felt like in those reality TV shows when they go to announce who they've chosen and wait an inappropriately long time to just give their answer. Get on with it. In addition, the main character was a bit ridiculous. I do not recommend this book.
