Book Review: #noescape / Gretchen McNeil

If you are looking for a really creepy, psycological thriller - this is it.

Honestly I would have never picked this book up if it weren't for my eblock buddy, Ariel. "It's so good, Miss, It's so good!" I don't love murder and mayhem - but this was indeed pretty good and a bit freaky. 

This is for you if you love mysteries, especially ones where there is a twist. This isn't for you if you dislike decapitation or other equally grizly methods of becoming dead.

#noescape is a prequel to #murdertrending. And I will NOT be reading the second book - I think that I have had enough murder for now.

Enjoy. You will find this on the shelves at South, and in the catalog at Nashua Public Library.

 

Book Review: Ain't Burned all the Bright / Jason Reynolds and Jason Griffin

The world is burning, everything feels like it is smoldering, everywhere you look...

The dedication in this book reads, "For everyone we lost and everything we learned in the strangest year of our lives - 2020"

And that sets the tone for this beautifully illustrated graphic novel. Actually - this is more than your typical graphic novel with amazing artistry and a message that it so relevant in our troubled world. 

So we live with the challenges of COVID, political strife, and a world filled with ugly acts of violence. This leaves us all uneasy - this book offers a bit of hope.

In through the mouth
Out through the nose

Find on the shelves of Nashua South (as soon as I get it processed - I just pulled it out of the box and read it last night - it is a VERY FAST READ and amazing) and Nashua Public Library.
