What an adorably spooky collection of stories! I would love to see this animated or made into a film! The artwork and colors really brought the pages and characters to life! Amazing! I want to read it again already! ~ Sarina S.
Other than the epic scene in Breaking Bad, I did not know much about Danny Trejo, but was intrigued by reviews of this book. I was not disappointed as he is a strong individual who, once finding a path forward, did not veer from it and success followed. Not to say he did not face challenges after becoming sober and leaving prison, but he'd adopted a new way of looking at the world, and in time came to see himself and his history more clearly. It's a fascinating life and well worth the read. ~ Linda J.
Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian
Good read! A woman asks for a divorce after being mistreated by her husband. She was denied a divorce and is accused of witchcraft. I didn’t want to put it down! ~ Karen S.
Circe by Madeline Miller
This was such an interesting book! I loved the writer's style and the story was so compelling. ~ Diane G.
