Loyola University Chicago Libraries's Recent Updates

That Used to Be Us by Thomas L. Friedman
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
While reading this book, it's very hard not to feel overwhelmed. It's not just that the United States faces a single, all-consuming problem; it faces dozens, if not hundreds of them. There's not very much that's going right in America these days; fr...more

Epic, inventive, and haunting. In the future, Earth has already survived one battle with an alien race known as the Buggers, and they're preparing for another invasion by sending gifted young children into space to attend Battle School. Ender Wiggi...more

I love Ellen. I tape/watch her show everyday after work. It was a quick easy read that sounded like her. However, watching her show made me aware of many of the little stories she s...more
You Were Always Mom's Favorite! by Deborah Tannen

Cudahy Popular Reading Collection (1st floor)
BF 723 .S43 T36 2009

It was the title that roped me into reading this. I found it enjoyable and eerily creepy when I saw more than a few similarities in my own relationships with sister.
My Fair Lazy by Jen Lancaster
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Frankly, it's a miracle I gave this two stars, because after the first 50 pages, I was ready to give it 0 stars and a kick across the room. This is my first experience reading Jen Lancaster, and she comes off VERY poorly at the beginning of this mem...more
Random Harvest by James Hilton
Random Harvest
by James Hilton
read in November, 2011
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Great premise, disappointing follow-through. I'm very surprised that I didn't like this; other reviews praise it for being engrossing, but I found most of it to be quite dull. Charles Rainier is an English politician and businessman who can't rememb...more
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
The Night Circus
by Erin Morgenstern
read in October, 2011
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I adored this book. I was initially uninterested, because I've read other books set at a circus and have had my fill of tawdry characters and behind-the-scenes dysfunction. But the Night Circus is unlike anything you've ever heard of -- (literally) ...more
The Magician King by Lev Grossman
The Magician King
by Lev Grossman (Goodreads Author)

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Really, I should just copy and paste my review of The Magicians into this space; I have the same complains about the sequel that I did about the first installment. In a nutshell: creative, engrossing book with very little heart or warmth.

Ready Player One

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Do you enjoy video games, adventure quests, and 80s nostalgia? I'm actually not a huge fan of ANY of those things, and I still had a great time reading this book. In a word, this book is FUN -- a treasure hunt of epic proportions with likable chara...more
