Beautiful & brutal! Benji shares his humanity, anger, love, and raw courage to care for his found family. I am now a HUGE fan of AJW!

Evans’ writing is brilliant, at times brutally difficult to read & to process, but always made me think & feel.

Utterly amazing and unputdownable!

Grace Talusan’s extraordinary voice & soul shines throughout her intimate memoir. I was immersed in her powerful & personal prose!

A swoonable sweet rom-com - Alexis & Daniel are opposites attract on steroids. And Alexis’ best friend, Bri made me laugh out loud!

“Everyone lies about their lives. What would happen if you shared the truth instead? The one thing that defines you, that makes everything else about you fall into place?”

So begins the opening of this multi-layered, multiple narrated story of new friends, loves, and trying to make amends. A rollicking read!

Courageousness in the face of crime & callousness. Thank you Bill Furlong for your kindness & humanity.

So fun! A quirky & delightful cast of characters who become chosen family & have some outrageous adventures.

I’m appreciating Nevada Barr’s descriptive & evocative writing of the wildness & wondrous natural world - also enjoying getting to know Anna Pigeon again.

@robinmarty thank you for this informative read & for demystifying & destigmatizing abortion care. I appreciated your explanation on the difference between reproductive rights and reproductive justice.

I hope you are working on another new edition as we head into 2025!

These courageous & brilliant girls, who were just barely at the cusp of adulthood, when they began secretly working at Bletchley Park are no longer hidden in history. Amen, for telling the stories we need to hear and to witness.

WOW!

Meh. Skimmed the last 1/4 of the book.

Too meandering - was this historical fiction, a mystery, a history lesson, alcoholism across the generations, all of the above and more?

My first Reese’s Book Club pick that I disagreed with her pick!

Thank you T.J. Klune for this delightfully rich sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea. It was wonderful to spend time with the Baker-Parnassus family and revisit Marsyas Island!

This outrageous satire of a small southern town in Georgia is an homage to books and the freedom to read. Given the uptick in book banning across the country I am hopeful, that once again, the power of words - in a book - will create moments of conversation and help to change minds and hearts.
