Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore is a story placed in the near future. As it explores how books will be viewed then, it also has an interesting fast paced plot with mysteries unraveling at every corner.

Review of Turtles All The Way Down, by John Green

This was a really interesting book. The main character has a type of OCD that causes her to have certain habits and isolates her from others. This book illustrates the struggle with herself through an interesting plot full of romance, relatable challenging decisions, like what to do after college, and mystery. It introduced me to a different perspective and helped me understand the difficulties of OCD. I highly recommend it.

Review of More Than This, by Patrick Ness

Seth thinks he died and went to hell. That’s the only explanation he can think of after he drowned and woke up completely alone, that is. If you want a book that will keep you on your toes guessing what will happen next, this one’s for you. Fantastically written, this book will tug at your heartstrings and help you realize that there is truly more than this.
