Dead People Suck
by Laurie Kilmartin
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book right here... my twisted sarcasm found this refreshing and funny. It threw me off at first, the way the author/comedian would have stand-up skits in some of the interludes, but it ultimately worked. Laurie mainly talks about what it is like to have a parent on hospice and then after they die. But her comedic approach made me feel so welcome in her "Dead Dads Club". The things she reminds us to take care of in our own lives once we know we are nearing the "end" are hilarious! I would recommend this to anyone who has gone through hospice care with a loved one, once they are ready to laugh about it!

The Last Thing He Told Me

So I saw that they made a TV Series based on this book, I have not watched it yet, I wanted to read it first. This book spoke to me in ways that reached me deeply. You have to ask yourself, "I've helped raise this child that is not mine, what am I willing to give up in life to keep her safe?" The twists and turns in this book kept me engaged. The snarky teenage angst came through flawlessly. I can't wait to see if the series holds a flame to the book version.

People Don't Bite People
by Lisa Wheeler

book cover


Perfect book for toddlers learning boundaries! This book is just what we needed! My toddler was going through a biting phase, and People Don’t Bite People helped in such a fun and gentle way. The rhymes are catchy, the illustrations are bright and engaging, and the message is clear—biting is not okay. Now my little one proudly repeats, “People don’t bite people!” A great, positive way to teach kids about self-control. Highly recommend!

Fat Chance, Charlie Vega
by Crystal Maldonado

book cover


This was a fun quirky kind of read. Very much a young adult style book, dealing with high school love and dealing with Charlie's personal struggle with her weight. It was interesting how the main character dealt with not only the loss of a parent, but how she dealt with the parent left behind that made her feel self conscious of her weight. I think we as women all struggle with the stereotypes of not thinking we are loved when we don't love our own bodies.
