How It Feels to Float
by Helena Fox
book cover


My professor gave me her advance reader's copy on the last day of classes of the semester, but I didn't start reading it until the summer, lying by the pool and finding my mood matched the protagonist's. Fox tells the story a high school upperclassman, Biz, living with mental illness, figuring out her friendships and using photography to piece together the history of her father's suicide. Fox's language is beautiful, and she clearly enjoys crafting specific sounds and images for the reader; it did feel overwrought at times, but in a way I enjoyed reading. Some sentences were worth returning to just for that. Fox drew me into Biz's mind so well that I was totally engrossed and trusting, and I ended up learning plot points at the same rate that Biz did. That said, though the plot does move forward and didn't feel "slow" at all, we do spend a lot of time in Biz's head and in her characterization. Overall, this is a beautiful and artful book whose buildup of mood will stick with me.

Warcross
by Marie Lu
book cover


I definitely read through this too quickly but I stayed thinking about it for a few days after. It’s a fun and familiar YA scifi genre involving a virtual reality video game that’s become ubiquitous. The main character’s voice was a bit hard to get into at first (maybe it felt too on-the-nose? But upon reflection, maybe that *is* realistic), but then everything started flowing soon after. I saw the twist coming early on, but that didn’t take away from the enjoyment of getting to know the characters as they grew, and Lu took care with creating a diverse set of characters that made everything even more interesting. The battle and coding scenes were really fun to read, and the book calls for a sequel.
Dragonbreath #5: No Such Thing as Ghosts
by Ursula Vernon
book cover


The book is really funny and some humor, when big eddy forced them to go in the haunted house and the friends scared big eddy with some old rope they found and big eddy was running away when he heard the sounds. I would recommend this book.

Indoor Grilling
by Dwayne Ridgaway
book cover


This book is all about indoor grilling. The recipes have pictures which is a plus. But I find it to be an ordinary cookbook with lots of fried food and fancy presentation. Basically, get a cast iron pan with grill ridges and grill away! I find myself going back to my outdoor grilling cookbooks. It was a cute read and I did enjoy the pictures.
