Reluctant Reader Wednesday: Occulted by Amy Rose, Ryan Estrada, & Jeongmin Lee 

Amy Rose didn’t know much about the outside world. When she was little, her parents brought the whole family into a unique community that was supposed to be welcoming, but was really hiding secrets. One by one, her family members left the compound, until just Amy and her mother were left. By the time she first heard the world “cult,” she had already been living in this place for years. Their leader said that the world was going to end soon, and everybody believed it.

But sometimes Amy wondered if their leader was hiding the truth, and Amy’s thirst for knowledge and love of books will be the most important tools that will help her to escape from this place. 

This graphic memoir is a powerful story about cults, secrets, deception, family problems, and a child who was smart enough and brave enough to take back control of her own life. Give this book to teens or even adults who love survivor stories!

Cool take, even seen 30-40 year olds get drunk at a business dinner/event (and I mean absolutely 5 drinks deep hammered) and then show up to work the next day complaining of hangovers? Because I have 🙃.

I've been back on house-building, but I had to take a moment to try something else....

I love how this is reported like it's in the FUTURE.

Shoutout to anybody meeting up with old friends during the holidays but the vibes are just kind of off. Maybe you’re in different places in life so it’s hard to find common ground. Maybe the pandemic messed with your socializing skills. Maybe one or both of you is just fucking exhausted and can’t gab for hours about everything like back in college. I’m sorry if you didn’t get the connection you were looking for, but it’s not the end of your friendship or the end of the world. Just try again next time.

So I'm doing some more research for the next Officer 432 story, and I've never had a "GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE" moment like this before.

I don't even know where to start: the fucking headline. The ridiculously edgy photo with that cheap tacky wallhanger. Or maybe the fact that she looks like The Kurgan from Highlander, particularly after I read that they had to move Rosemary West (another infamous British serial killer) to another prison because this loopy bitch here said she wanted to kill her at the first opportunity. Like what, "There can be only one"?!

This is not any ordinary clown show, this is a clown show featuring Pennywise, Captain Spaulding and Rockzo (he does cocaine!).

Reluctant Reader Wednesday: Don’t Go to Sleep by Bryce Moore 

Gianna and her friend Enzo have a lot in common. They both live in New Orleans. They both come from Italian families. Both of their families own grocery stores. And both of their lives were forever changed years ago by a man that the newspapers call the Axeman. Some of his victims survived, but others did not. 

When Gianna and Enzo learn that the Axeman has returned, they are determined to do everything they can to bring him to justice, even if it means risking their own lives. 

This book will get its hooks into readers on many different levels. It’s VERY suspenseful. It’s based on a true story. It’s set during 1918, which is a time period not covered in many YA novels. And the past has plenty of connections to the present, including the oubreak of Spanish Influenza that makes people start wearing masks.

Give this book to teens and adults who are fans of historical thrillers with paranormal twists!
