What happens to the world if a deadly pandemic were to rush through the world? What happens when the world and civilization as we know it collapses? Station 11 attempts to answer that question by following the lives of many characters through the past and present. Arthur is a celebrity who can't seem to keep a marriage. Kirsten was only a child when the flu hit but now she is traveling in a traveling symphony sharing their love for the arts with the few towns that exist. The Prophet, obsessed with airplanes, wants to make the world normal again in... interesting ways.

The idea and the events behind Station 11 are amazing and the pandemic made me very interested in what this book could be. I find the characters to be interesting to learn about and see how they grow and change overtime. The themes of relationships, family, civilization, memory and reminiscing are powerful and make you think. Unfortunately I find that the plot of the book is nonexistent at times and can sometimes drag on. It also can feel very confusing at times as almost everything in the book is connected to every other thing making it hard to keep tract of the plentiful amount of characters and objects on top of the non linear format . Overall I would say that this novel is overall a good read with very captivating stories and themes but with some issues with plot.

“Pride and Prejudice” is a contemporary classic following the life of a young woman in 19th century England. Through the love story between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, the novel tackles themes of gender roles and societal status, reflecting the life of Jane Austen as well. Wow, I was amazed at how much I enjoyed this novel. Despite being a classic novel written in the 1800s, Austen’s writing was so easy to understand, and I even found myself laughing at her sarcastic and witty humor. The love story between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy was not awkward to read or hard to understand in the slightest, and their conflicts really emphasized the themes Austen was trying to convey. I can strongly say that the essay I had to write for this novel was the easiest essay I’ve ever written as I enjoyed dissecting every part of this book! I can see why Jane Austen has such a notable reputation, and in my opinion, it is very much deserved. I believe I will be forever glad to have read this book; despite being centuries apart, Elizabeth remains to be one of the most relatable female protagonists in classic literature, and it amazes me how ahead of her time Austen was while writing her.

Poppy and Alex have been best friends for years. Despite being polar opposites, they’ve always bonded over one thing: traveling. After ten summer vacations, something disastrous happens to potentially split them up forever. But Poppy has one last vacation planned, and one last chance to prove that they may be more perfect for each other than originally thought. This book was an unfortunate disappointment for me. I was very excited to read it due to the movie releasing and my previous enjoyment of Henry’s other novels, but her story just fell flat in this one. Neither of the main characters were very likable to me, and the conflicts felt very predictable and boring. It wasn’t all terrible, and there were some parts that made me smile, but compared to her other works where I was laughing out loud and giggling about it to my friends, I couldn’t help but be a little let down by the execution of the storyline. If you’re an avid romance or Emily Henry reader there may be more enjoyment to find within this book, but unfortunately it wasn’t it for me.

The Glass Castle is an amazing memoir that follows the life of a young Jeannette. Jeannette grows up in a very poor and dysfunctional household that lives a nomadic live. She moves from place to place making it hard for her to make friends other than her older sister and younger brother. Her parents often argue and find themselves living in places that could barely pass as a home. During the course of her life, she experiences many difficult events that make her even more resilient. Throughout the book there are also flash forwards which take place in New York City once Jeannette has gotten older and shows the dynamic of her family many years later.

This book is an excellent read! The storylines, plots and relationships between characters are very interesting to read. Coming from someone who is not very similar to Jeannette, Jeannette Walls has done an amazing job putting me in the shoes of someone like herself and opened my eyes to the life and struggles of people who are not like me and who struggle to afford basic necessities. This book will teach you a lot about how other people live, resilience, the strong bond of family and making anywhere a home. I would recommend anyone read this book!

Maus is a graphic novel taking place over many countries during the Nazi occupation. Maus has an intriguing art style which includes countless amounts of symbolism. The decision to portray people as animals helps further the relationship and power structure during the Nazi occupation. Mice represent the Jewish people while cats, who are a natural predator of mice, represent the Nazis. Artie Spiegelman is a young cartoonist mouse who is eager to learn more about the history of his father Vladek who went through the holocaust as a Jewish person. This book is full intriguing story telling that includes Vladek recounting the life of a Jewish person in hiding during the Nazi occupation and the intricate relationship between Artie and his father Vladek as well as Vladek and his previous wife. The book dives deep into the different tactics and ways that Vladek used in order to evade the Nazi cats.

Before reading Maus, I was not a reader of graphic novels. Maus has shaped my perception about what a graphic novel can be. Maus uses stunning graphics to portray a meaningful, impactful and thought provoking plot. I was captivated while reading the book and often times found myself wanting to continuing reading. Those who are new to the graphic novel genre and those who are familiar with the genre will love this novel.

“The Screwtape Letters” is a satire Christian fiction told in an epistolary format about a demon mentoring his nephew to corrupt a Christian man. I had to read this book for my honors English class, and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Not only are there a variety of Christian themes explored, Lewis writes with a sardonic humor that made the novel very immersive. I especially enjoyed Screwtape’s character, and it was fascinating to see how his characterization changed throughout the book. Despite the novel not following typical writing patterns such as prose or even the development of side characters, I found that it was a very fast and easy read that grew more interesting with the annotations I made. I would recommend this book to those with an interest in Christian philosophy, or those who may be seeking a relatively simple novel within the classic genre.

Nearly a decade ago Lane Roanoke ran away from the Roanoke residence, determined to never go back...

Lane Roanoke did not have an easy childhood, constantly wondering where she truly came from. When her mother passes, Lane is surprised when her grandparents offer to take her in. The Roanoke residence is nothing as she would have imagined, but it feels like home.

As she tries to uncover the truth of her cousin's disappearance, Lane is reminded why she left in the first place...

"The Roanoke Girls" was a book that one wants to see what happens at the end. However, the plot twist is not very shocking, which was slightly disappointing. The book also covers difficult topics, however, emphasizes important themes. I likely would not read this again but glad I gave it a try.

The world of romance and dating has changed; with a simple submission of DNA, you can find the one meant for you. This is the purpose of Match Your DNA, a company that uses DNA to find someone's perfect other. Five different people with very different lives have been matched. As these strangers connect with their matches, secrets are revealed... and Match Your DNA may not be everything the world has come to believe it is.

"The One", although a very interesting concept, was difficult to get into. It did not feel like much of the thriller and took quite some time to get interesting. The ending was also somewhat disappointing and could have gone into more depth on what happened. Although it wasn't a favorite, it did explore interesting themes.

Stephanie and Jasmin are two completely different women. Stephanie is a successful news director who's simply on a business trip; Jasmin is a women looking for safety, finally leaving her abusive boyfriend. However, after fatefully meeting on the same plane their lives become intertwined in a way they never would have imagined. Both women have gone missing, with evidence leading both of their disappearances to the same man. However, there is more to the story than meets the eye...

"The Business Trip" was intriguing and difficult to put down. The book is written through multiple perspectives, offering unique insight into the story. The plot twist, although interesting, was not completely my favorite.

Isabelle can't sleep, not after her son was taken a year ago. Desperate to find out what happened to him, she does everything she can, specifically by going on TV. When she is offered the opportunity to do a podcast, she is hesitant, as the one doing the podcast makes her nervous. However, Isabelle gives in, all in hope to find something new about the disappearance of her son. As she delves deeper into what happened she begins to question everything about herself and others. Especially when memories of her past are brought to the surface, Isabelle wonders if she can trust herself...

"All the Dangerous Things" delved deeply into grief, trauma, and the importance of honesty within family. Although it took some time for the plot to become interesting, I would recommend this book.

Dr. Anna Fox hasn't left her house in almost a year; unable to face the outside world after a tragic incident. With so much time on her hands she spends her days drinking, counseling strangers online, and watching old movies. Anna also has one other habit... she watches her neighbors, trying to pick at and understand their lives. So, when the Russell's move in she watches carefully, surprised when the enigmatic Jane Russell comes knocking on her door. After an intriguing few hours with Jane, Anna feels better than she has in a long time. However, when she watches the Russell's house again, she sees something no one was supposed to witness. All of a sudden Anna is up against multiple strangers who will do anything to keep a secret...
"The Woman in the Window" had an interesting plot twist one wouldn't see coming. However, it took quite a long time to cover some important themes and ideas in the book, making the first half slightly harder to read. The ending did make it worth reading, though this would likely stay as a onetime read.

Slaughterhouse-Five is a semi-autobiographical historical fiction novel by Kurt Vonnegut. It follows the life of Billy Pilgrim as he becomes “unstuck” in time and is forced to live his life out of order for the rest of eternity.
This is by far the strangest and most unique book I’ve ever read. Vonnegut’s use of non-linear storytelling creates a feeling that I can only describe as…meta. It not only makes sense in the context of the story but is also an interesting writing choice that reflects the author's thought process.
The characters in this book are also, for lack of better words, interesting. They all seem to be either exaggerations of real people Vonnegut met or personifications of his post-war trauma.
This book makes a lot of references to itself, and while that isn’t odd for a book to do, it’s the way that it happens that makes it odd. For example, there’s a character who appears to be a reference to Kurt Vonnegut, which is odd because that is very similar to what Billy Pilgrim is supposed to be, which is even odder because Kurt Vonnegut himself is in the book. It’s things like this that make the novel such an interesting read.
The supernatural elements of this story are another aspect that might seem weird, but are surprisingly not, and that’s because this book's biggest strength is execution. It’s weird, creepy, and disturbing, while at the same time being deadpan, mundane, and even humorous at times. Vonnegut achieves all this while not making these shifts jarring or tone deaf, which takes an incredible amount of skill.
This book is very hard to talk about without spoiling anything, so I highly suggest you give it a try! It may be challenging and hard to follow at times, but unraveling the story is one of the most rewarding aspects of this book!

The Song of Achilles is a retelling of the Trojan War through the eyes of Achilles lover, Patroclus. This book has been on my reading list for a couple of years now, but I finally decided to pick it up, and I’m glad I did!
The best part of this book has to be the writing. I’m not usually a fan of the 1st person perspective, but Miller’s writing really makes it feel as though you are seeing everything through Patroclus’s eyes. It’s almost as though you are living through him at times, and it’s because of this that every one of his emotions has such an impact on the reader. Every moment feels like it matters. From the mundane beginnings in Phthia to the more intense clashes during the Trojan War, everything in this story feels like it has meaning.
Another part of this book that I love is the writing of the characters, specifically Achilles. As previously mentioned, the story is in 1st person. We never get to see what Achilles is thinking, but that’s exactly what makes him so interesting. The only things the reader knows about Achilles are through his interactions with Patroclus and other characters in the novel, and it’s through this that Achilles true nature is revealed.
While this book is a romance, I promise you will never read another like it. I have never seen a story where the main leads have such incredible chemistry, not only as lovers, but as friends. You truly get the sense that Achilles and Patroclus care so much about each other. That they know each other better than they know themselves.
Being familiar with the Iliad isn’t necessary to enjoy this book, and even though I was, the ending still shocked me. The last 50 pages or so had me on the edge of my seat, and it wasn’t exactly what happened that surprised me, but how it happened.
This is definitely the best book I have read in years. So, if you’re looking for a book that will absolutely blow you away, this is the book for you!

Nora Davis's father is a serial killer. When she was a child, he would take young women into his basement "workshop" and torture them, cutting off their hands to keep as trophies before killing them. But her father has been in jail for 26 years, and Nora is now a successful surgeon with a thriving practice, caught between her packed workload, a cute - and strangely familiar - bartender, and trying to keep her business partner, Paul, away from the new secretary. But everything changes when Nora's past patients are found dead...with their hands cut off. Now, Nora is under suspicion for the murders, and the police are determined to pin the crimes on her, forcing Nora to investigate and uncover her father's secrets once and for all.

"The Locked Door" is a thrilling mystery that will keep you guessing from beginning to end. I really liked how the perspective switched between Nora's younger self and her current life, because it was interesting to learn more about her dad and her perspective on his murders. Overall, this book is suspenseful and twisty - just an all-around good YA murder mystery. The one thing I will say is that sometimes the plot got a little bit repetitive and the ending was less exciting than it could have been. Other than that, if you are a murder mystery lover, "The Locked Door" is perfect for you!

Jane is trying to get through her internship as a medical student. Yet it seems like she can't do anything right to please her senior resident, who seems determined to make Jane's job impossible. The only thing keeping Jane sane is the surgeon who she finds incredibly attractive, and who has also taken an interest in her. As Jane tries to navigate her new life of being a doctor, she comes to terms with who she is.

"The Devil Wears Scrubs" is a slice of life, which is outside the genre of most of Freida McFadden's books. Although overall the concept was interesting, I found Jane to be a frustrating character and there really not being much of a plot.

Millie needs a job, and quickly if she doesn't want to break the terms of her parole. So, when she's hired by Nina Winchester as a housemaid, she can't believe it. The Winchester's are an extremely wealthy family, and Millie can't help but notice that Nina's husband, Andrew, is particularly handsome. All seems to be going well until suddenly it's not. Nina's behaviors are sporadic and eccentric, and she often lashes out at Millie, going back on her word and constantly placing the blame on Millie. Millie's only comfort is Andrew, who, against her better judgement, she continues to get closer to. Except when the time finally comes for Millie to know the truth... nothing is as it seems.

"The Housemaid" is an interesting read, although the plot twist is definitely not as surprising as some of Freida McFadden's other work.

Dan has tried to move on from the traumatic event that happened in his childhood. He is now successfully working in a prison, his job revolving around treating patients and understanding why they committed crimes. So when he gets a call that his father is likely dead, Dan's life is turned upside down. Returning to his home island, Dan becomes suspicious of the circumstances of his father's disappearance. As he continues to investigate, the events from his past make their way into his life... and everything comes together.

"The Man Made of Smoke" is an interesting thriller that does a good job of showing the complexities of father son relationships. The plot twist was definitely unexpected and not in the greatest of ways and somewhat made the whole book slightly confusing. Overall, it was a good read.

Paris can't believe what's happening; it just can't be real. As she awaits trial for the murder of her husband she can't help but wonder how she got here. Despite the lengths she went to escape her past, it all seems to be coming right back after her. Drew is furious Ruby Reyes is getting out of prison. He knows exactly the type of women Ruby Reyes was and the lies she's told the media. Little does Drew know Ruby Reyes and Paris are connected in a way he never expected. Ruby knows Paris' secret, and Paris is willing to do anything to ensure that secret never gets out.

"Things We Do in the Dark" was a very interesting and twisty read. The switch between two storylines was difficult to follow at first and definitely took away from the book. Overall, however the characters were relatable, and the plot twist was amazing.

Tom wants a new start with his son Jake, who isn't handling the recent passing of his mother well, in fact neither of them are. So, when Jake falls in love with a new house in a new town, Tom takes the opportunity. Except the house makes him nervous and he can't help but notice that Jake's unusual behavior hasn't ended. In that same town a tragedy has hit. A tragedy eerily similar to one that happened twenty years ago, with the man responsible behind bars. As the police continue to investigate and Tom and Jake try to settle in, the case and their life become intertwined in a way they never expected.

"The Whisper Man" was an amazing read, although hard to get into. It mixes real life and supernatural elements perfectly, leaving some answers to questions to the readers imagination.

Paul Sheldon, the bestselling author of the Misery book series, crashes his car in the wilderness of Colorado just after finishing his latest book. Gravely injured and unable to walk, he is rescued by Annie Wilkes - a self-proclaimed "number one fan" of his work. She nurses him back to health in her house, all the while reading his latest Misery novel. However, when she discovers that Paul has killed off her favorite character, she reveals how unstable she truly is. Holding Paul captive, Annie forces him to write another book that will bring Misery back to life. There is no escape - and Paul soon finds that his "number one fan" will use any means necessary to force him to write his newest book...

"Misery" has to be one of my favorite Stephen King novels. The very relevant themes of obsession and addiction that he explores - along with the suspenseful and thrilling plot - made it impossible for me to put this book down! The plot is very well thought-out, and King's writing puts the reader into Paul's mind, allowing them to experience his thoughts, addiction, and pain firsthand. The idea, execution, and writing style of this book are truly amazing, creating a well-rounded and captivating story. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes psychological horror - especially those who have already watched the movie adaptation of "Misery". Although the film does a phenomenal job of telling this story, the inclusion of Paul's thoughts, the slightly different (and more terrifying!) ending, and King's writing itself makes this book a must-read for preexisting "Misery" fans!

Wool is single-handedly the best politically dystopian book I have ever read, as well as #2 best book I have ever read. Howey masterfully extricates critical thought from the reader, not even mentioning some really deep aspects of what a political situation might fully manifest, causing the reader to add their own reasons they generated implied from this epic presentation of situations to more obvious reasons explicitly stated as an ever-present apex of human analysis in Wool. Consider satire -- presented simply and relatively easy to understand. Even slightly comical. But when analyzed and context is applied, it becomes a powerful tool, causing the reader to read in reverence at the wisdom of the author. Although not satire, Wool certainly gave me reverence toward Hugh Howey. If I were to see him walking down the street, a great effort would be made on my part to engage in conversation, second only to Ted Dekker. This critical thought and other implied assumptions left me feeling respected as a reader -- my intelligence is welcome for more than guessing the future plot: understanding the story. I believe the more intelligent the person, the more they will enjoy Wool.

Wool is book one of the Silo series. Book two is technically a prequel (to the perspective of the world, not Howey) but definitely read Wool before Shift. Incredibly powerful as a stand-alone, the Silo series collectively can move mountains. After finishing Dust, I began tearing up. I never tear up. For such a logical book where every decision is made rationally (until Juliet), Howey elicited an emotional response from me. The theme stressed across the Silo series is: "For so long we have chosen to do what is logical and rational. What statistically makes sense. But I fear the solution to this problem lies in doing what is right. Following the heart and not the brain." (NOT a quote from the Silo series).

As an aspiring engineer with straight As, this hit me hard. As someone who seeks efficiency and celebrates structure this broke me. In that moment when I realized what Howey was trying to drive through my logically intelligent but emotionally stubborn mind, I had to STOP reading. I read the paragraph three times. Respecting Howey for his political depth and logical nuance, I was offended for but one second when this dawned of me. And then I realized he was right.

Go make a realization.

Amity Island is a famous summer vacation destination for the wealthy elites. Full-time residents of Amity depend on this business to survive during the winter months - so, when a woman is brutally killed by a shark on a late-night swim, Mayor Vaughan refuses to let Police Chief Brody close the beaches. Instead, they cover the incident up, hoping to attract tourists for the upcoming Fourth of July celebration. However, the shark claims three more victims, and the situation becomes dire. Soon, it is apparent that the fish will not be stopped unless it is killed. Driven by his guilt, Brody, along with oceanographer Matt Hooper and fisherman Quint, team up to hunt down and kill the shark before it is too late.

I watched the movie adaptation of "Jaws" before reading the book, because I was interested in learning more about the cultural implications that stemmed from the portrayal of sharks in both versions. After reading the original adaptation, I was pleasantly surprised! "Jaws" explores slightly darker themes of guilt and responsibility for those like the police chief and mayor who did not close the beaches after the first attack, and the plot and character dynamics are deeper, darker, and more meaningful than those in the movie. The horror and suspense in this story were spot on, and the ending was amazing, pushing forward these same sinister and captivating motifs. Even though this book had a slightly dated feel with the situations, characters, and their actions, I was still immersed in the world and, despite already knowing the ending, wanted to know what would happen next. For fans of the movie "Jaws" or those interested in the story, I would definitely recommend this book!

Agreeing to go, Lizzie has high hopes of reconnecting with her once closest friend. Except shortly after she arrives things go downhill.

This was a decent book, with the slight plot twist being pretty interesting. The book is told from different perspectives, offering a better understanding of everything that had and does happen.

"Not Quite Dead Yet" is one of the best books I have read all year. Holly Jackson blended her signature captivating murder mystery with an almost "The Fault in Our Stars"-style doomed romance, causing me to completely fall in love with this book! Not only were the characters both relatable and loveable, but I was moved to tears by how real all the situations felt. This book is a perfect mix of a thrilling and twisty mystery and heartbreaking love story, perfectly executed with Jackson's amazing writing style. I would recommend "Not Quite Dead Yet" to anyone, regardless of whether or not YA murder mysteries are your go-to genre, as the unique plot makes this book truly one of a kind.

"The Wedding People" is a book about a divorced woman named Phoebe who goes to a fancy hotel in Rhode Island. Little does she know, there's a big wedding happening while she's there. She meets the bride, who confides in her whenever something happens. The two become friends quickly, as they bring out different sides in each other. One night, Phoebe goes to relax in the hotel hot tub, and she meets a man there. The two talk, and Phoebe realizes that this stranger brings something out in her that she hasn’t experienced before.

“The Wedding People” is definitely one of my favorite books that I have read. The characters feel so human with all their flaws, feelings, and experiences. Every single character is likable in their own way. Multiple characters have character development that benefits the storyline. Their realizations and discoveries are so poetic that I felt the emotions behind the writing. The author phrases things so well, it feels like you are experiencing what is happening. The book is able to cover heavy topics without being smothering or ridiculous. The plot twists were unpredictable and surprising, but they were realistic and believable. Overall, this book is truly a work of art that I really enjoyed.

If you are looking for the perfect enemies to lovers/romantasy look no further! Fourth Wing is a masterpiece by Yarros who combines master world building skills with an exciting and engaging plot. I really liked Violet's determination, perseverance, and acceptance of her circumstances. Her character was well rounded and a 5-star narrator. Xaden and Violet's chemistry was off the charts, and it really added that final piece to the plot. I would definitely read again and again and again. This is the perfect book for romance and fantasy lovers.

"Guardian Demon" is a romance book set in a world where angels and demons exist. The story follows our two main characters, an angel and a demon. Sunshine, the female angel main character, is assigned a mission to retrieve a book from a demon. The other main character is a male demon named Raum. Sunshine decides to form a contract, forcing Raum to help her on her mission. The two start the mission disliking each other, but as the mission progresses, they begin to grow closer.

I started reading this book without knowing that it was part of a series. Despite this, the book introduced new things, while also explaining stuff from the previous books. The author develops the characters, and they maintain consistent personalities throughout the book. The romance between the two main characters is well fleshed out and gave me butterflies on occasion. Overall, this book is very good and I would definitely recommend it to fans of fantasy and romance books!

"The Tenant" is a chilling thriller that will you leave you questioning if you should ever open your home to strangers...
Things are not going well for Blake. Having just lost his job (and dignity) Blake faces intense stress over how he's going to pay off his house and make a living for him and his fiancé. Felling incredibly grateful to his fiancé, Krista, for still sticking around, he continues to search for ways to make money. When Krista suggest they rent out a room in the house, Blake is hesitant, but not for long when he realizes this might give him the break he needs. Whitney is a perfect candidate to be a tenant and everything goes perfectly at first. That is, until Blake becomes convinced Whitney is becoming vindictive and malicious towards him. With no one believing him, Blake is determined to figure out who Whitney really is and to stop her from tormenting his life. Except what he finds is far from what he expected...
"The Tenant" was a really interesting read and definitely kept me on my toes and needing to know what happens next.

Quinn has done something no one else can know about. Except her actions are sure to be found out, and quickly, so she makes the only decision that could possibly keep her out of trouble: run. Packing her things and leaving her small town as quickly as possible, Quinn hits the road, trying to come to terms with the events leading up to the incident. Driving into a storm, Quinn pulls into a small motel that's empty except for one other guest, who's more of a tenant. During her short stay Quinn begins to question the other guest and the owner of the motel and is soon to learn a dark secret...
"Do Not Disturb" was incredibly intriguing and took a deep dive into the dangers of abusive relationships, with Quinn being a relatable character. Told from three different perspectives, "Do Not Disturb" is definitely worth reading!
