Hot Milk
by Deborah Levy

book cover


What an interesting book! On the surface it is a story about a mother troubled by many ailments, many of which no one can seem to diagnose, that result in her not being able to walk all the time. She and her adult daughter, who has put her life on hold to care for her, leave England and go to Spain to see a doctor who may be able to help her. But this book is really about a relationship between a mother and daughter, and about people coming to terms with themselves. But what really makes this book special is the writing which is so descriptive and engaging in a way I have not found before in a book. A definite must read.
Circe

I loved this book! The story touches on or at least mentions many of the gods and other recognizable figures from Greek mythology and really helped me understand how they connected. The story begins with Circe’s birth and life in the city with her family but then spends much time and attention on the island of Aeaea where she comes to terms with some old demons and charts the course for her future. If you like mythology, you will love this story.
The Sisters of Book Row

This novel is based on an interesting piece of New York City history that I knew nothing about. It's 1915 and citizens of NYC are under constant threat of arrest due to the Comstock Act. It might not be every citizen in danger, but one never knows when those that uphold the law will deem that you are in violation. Of course, I had to do a deeper dive and discovered this is a zombie law -- still on the books, but not acted upon. In the state of our country now, I wonder if someone will decide to take it off the inactive list and decide to enforce it. Have I peaked your curiosity and are you now going to look up what the Comstock Act is?

Coraline
by Neil Gaiman

I recently discovered this author and he has quickly become one of my favorites. This story is creepy and disturbing, but what makes it even more interesting is that the central character, Coraline NOT CAROLINE, is a young girl which allows her to behave in more interesting ways than an adult would. And don’t worry. All of your “But what about…” questions are answered in the end.

Was really drawn out at times, the beginning was boring and I almost didn’t continue reading but I’m glad I did it definitely got better toward the end. As someone going into the field of mental health I thought it was a cool read.
The hollow

I liked the book, but it was too much romance and not enough thriller.
