Queen B’s Decree: This book is a chunk, and yet, it went by so fast. The Casquette Girls had such an interesting premise. Adele is back in New Orleans after a big hurricane nearly destroyed her neighborhood. After she returns there are some odd happenings; murders occurring, and she maybe has some telekinesis or magic?

Queen B’s Decree: I don’t play Dungeons and Dragons…but deep down, I am a bit of a nerd. And I loved Dungeons and Drama so I was so excited to see the author planned another story in this universe. Datings and Dragons was such a cute and enjoyable read (and listen!). The secondhand cringe was […] The post Dating and Dragons by Kristy Boyce appeared first on Library Queens ..read more

Queen B’s Decree: Vermilion Sunrise has a very dystopian feel; a bunch of teenagers are sent to a new planet (many light years away) to begin colonization. And no adults are present because they don’t survive the cryosleep. But none of these teenagers seem to have the skills that you’d expect for a new colony. […] The post Vermilion Sunrise by Lydia P.

Queen B’s Decree: I really resonated with Viola. In my real life career, I am very good at my job—and sometimes that means people perceive me as bitchy, when no one would ever say that if I was a man. So the things Viola goes through (men telling her to smile, boys expecting her to […] The post Twelfth Knight by Alexene Farol Follmuth appeared first on Library Queens ..read more

Queen B’s Decree: I was so invested in The Little Things That Kill. Nicole wakes up in a strange place…and eventually figures out that she’s dead. And she’s got 30 days to figure out how or why, but her memories of her last night are fuzzy. I liked the alternate points-of-view, but what I liked […] The post The Little Things That Kill by Annie Fox appeared first on Library Queens ..read more

Queen B’s Decree: There were a lot of moving parts in The Cavalier with multiple points-of-view. I really enjoyed seeing both sides of the “war,” with Velamir and Natassa slowly understanding there is more happening behind the scenes than they knew about. Velamir was a strong main character; I loved his sense of self and […] The post The Cavalier by Israh Azizi appeared first on Library Queens ..read more

Queen B’s Decree: This story focuses mostly on Deaf of Hard of Hearing boy, Ludik. He’s an orphan after the mountain “ran away” and destroyed his village. On his way to fight the mountain as a young boy, he’s saved and adopted by Heimee, a whisky distiller. Heimee was my favorite character. He was snarky […] The post Ludik and the Runaway Mountain by John Ilho appeared first on Library Queens ..read more

Queen B’s Decree: This is a mix of a coming of age story and a murder mystery. Sarah is a new scholarship student at a rich girl’s boarding school, and she’s definitely learning she doesn’t fit in when the resident mean girl sets her sights on her. This story is told through Sarah’s point-of-view entirely, […] The post St. Ambrose School for Girls by Jessica Ward appeared first on Library Queens ..read more

Queen B’s Decree: Whisper of Weapons was an interesting concept. Teenagers create their own weapons of which they use to call upon or “cast” an animal. Kind of like a familiar, but they have to learn to fight together to be the best…in case of war. There are a lot of points-of-view here, so it […] The post Whisper of Weapons by Savannah J.

Queen B’s Decree: When my book club decided to read a throwback, Twilight, I knew I’d have to read it as an audiobook and test it out. I wondered if the story would hold up; would I still have the same nostalgic love.  I learned that I still enjoy this one. Edward is still the […] The post Twilight by Stephenie Meyer appeared first on Library Queens ..read more
