No Nest For The Wicket
by Donna Andrews
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I’m a big fan of the Meg Langslow Mysteries. The series has gotten maybe a little too cozy with too many delightful side characters who have to make an appearance in every book. I like to go back and re-read the really good earlier books in the series, like No Nest. Meg and fiance Michael host an eXtreme croquet tournament on their new sprawling property. Members of the local historical society make up a team as do their arch-enemies the real estate developers. A disgraced former professor had history with both teams (and Michael). And now she’s dead.

Tobacco Road
by Erskine Caldwell
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Caldwell’s gritty realism tale of the squalor of Depression Era Georgia. Jeeter Lester is not a Rockwell romanticized humble cotton farmer enduring against all odds. He is mean and petty, pathetic and starving. He can’t remember the names of his 17 children, but almost all ran away as soon as they could. He is hopelessness and inertia when people value the cotton mills far more than the cotton crops.

I’m slowly making my way through the series. I loved ACOTAR and thought this series would be right up there with it, but I’ve been let down. There is a lot in the book that’s just page filler that’s unnecessary

Absolutely loved it!! Did not disappoint and I’ve now found a new favorite authors. This book kept me guessing and had me gasping out loud. Pulled on the heart strings so hard but just enough to be pleasant.

From A Certain Point Of View: The Empire Strikes Back (star Wars)
by Seth Dickinson
View in Library Catalog
book cover


From a Certain Point of View shares stories from the events of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back as experienced by the background characters. Meet the caf delivery guy who rescues rebels evacuating Echo Base on Hoth. Follow the final thoughts of an Imperial admiral as he’s being force-choked by Darth Vader. A tie-fighter pilot shares her rules for not getting killed. An Uggnaught clan rushes to escape Cloud City when stormtroopers take over. The twenty-odd short stories are written by as many different authors. They vary in tone and length, but all give you the SW galaxy beyond the Skywalker family.

Gamer Girls: 25 Women Who Built the Video Game Industry
by Mary Kenney
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Mary Kenney is a video game developer writing to encourage girls and women to bring their talents to her industry. She addresses Gamergate and her own experience with misogyny in gaming early on. The women included go back to Mabel Addis Mergardt who designed a game for an IBM educational program in 1963. Kenney’s message is clear: women have been integral to the video game industry from day 1. The only thing I dislike about this book is the order. The short bios seem arranged in whatever order Kenney thought of the women to include. Maybe chronologically would have made more sense.
