I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy




I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy

Genre: Adult Non-Fiction

Despite several heavy topics discussed throughout the book, I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy was surprisingly easy to digest. I would recommend this book to anyone - even if they've never watched anything with Jennette in it. Unlike most celebrity memoirs, her passion for writing is evident in her storytelling. 

A fair warning, there are themes of  parental death, addiction, eating disorders, and narcissistic parenting throughout the entire book.

Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure by Lewis Hancox

Welcome to St. Hell: My Trans Teen Misadventure by Lewis Hancox Genre: Young Adult Graphic Novel In this graphic novel, Lewis Hancox takes us on the path he took to make it past trauma, confusion, hurt, and dubious fashion choices in order to become the man he was meant to be. I loved the way this one was written with future Lewis beside his past self reassuring the reader that everything worked out in the end. It helped keep everything light and enjoyable. Too often I find myself getting sad when reading trans stories because they tend to get really dark until their transition. Future Lewis made that discomfort easier to bear.  I really enjoyed the art style for this one as well. - Emily

Once Upon a K-Prom by Kat Cho

Once Upon a K-Prom by Kat Cho Genre: Young Adult Fiction Instead of going to prom, seventeen-year-old Elena Soo wants to spend her time saving the local community center, and she is determined to keep her priorities straight even when her childhood best friend--who is now   a   K-pop superstar--returns to make good on their old pact to go to prom together. What a cute, easy read. I loved how Cho discussed the difficulties behind being a K-Pop star. It isn't something that many fans know about when it comes to their favorite K-Pop groups. The ending was super predictable but I wasn't mad about it! There's something about a fairy tale ending that I love... - Emily

All the Blood We Share by Camilla Bruce

All the Blood We Share by Camilla Bruce Genre: Horror/Historical Fiction I have never read a book like this before - serial killers on the prairie in the 1870s. All the Blood We Share is a story of the "Bloody Benders", based on the true story of this family that operated in Kansas during this time period. The point of view alternates between a few characters, including a few of the Benders and someone from the community. A pretty graphic and disturbing read, but if you like horror (and true crime), I'd recommend this one. - Bethany
