By Deborah Levy
Although its scope is wide (set in Spain, Greece and influential references to England), this novel is successfully claustrophobic, detailing how a 20-something budding anthropologist who is bruised by her divorced parents comes to terms with the dysfunctions of her life and those of her temporary friends. A tightly-written and therefore rewarding reading experience even if it is not filled with many feel-good moments.
The LeaversBy Lisa Ko
A wonderful, heartbreaking book about belonging. The Leavers is the story of Deming and his mother Polly who come to America from China. It is a great story about the immigrant experience, about love, about family, ,about multicultural adoption, about fitting in, about education... it's all here and it is beautifully written.

Crazy House
By James Patterson
Love James Patterson books for the most part, but this one was a disappointment. It was geared to a teen, suppose to be like a Hunger Games. No where as action packed. It was a future world with individual colonies, too many rules and hardships to fight.
Finished it I guess I can get a second book. I know I’ll skip that.
