If you saw two dirty, ragtag children who growled and snarled, would you believe they were raised by wolves?

Love this author! Have read many of her Trash and Treasures Mysteries. Humorous, mysterious... but mostly humorous because the main character is quite something else.

Delores Price has an unusual life with multiple ups and downs. She is an unloved fatty who hurts herself, a mental case who realizes (after many years) that she can love and be loved. This is not my favorite book of Lamb but is worth reading.

Very fun! Definitely re-living the Twilight days, but at an adult level and Jacob is the winner. Wouldn’t say that this book is winning any awards - but a very entertaining way to spend time!

Chapter 19 - In this chapter Jude is learning from the "Ghost" who is teaching her how to spy for Prince Dain. The Ghost is showing her how to kill, camouflage herself, and leave undetected. She is doing this in the name of Prince Dain - but prior to this assignment, she was not a person who killed.

This book is recommended for grade 1 - 4, ages 6-9. It is formatted as a chapter book. I thought it was dark for a children's book. I've read this author before and he often has an unusual twist in his stories. I felt like a 6 year would be a little scared after reading this book. I would recommend for older kids.

This was my first time reading from this author. Really liked her writing style. The book was humorous and very serious at times. Two women who own a bakery get involved in shenanigans that put them in very dire situations - but in this book they overcame the obstacles they were faced with and found a twist of an outcome.

If you ever watched the movie, Minority Report, this book has a similar take on the surveillance state. However, Lalami's presentation feels more real and prescient and less futuristic. With the rise of AI intelligence and integrated computer systems, one can easily imagine the fate of our protagonist, as she is swept up and placed in a detention center based on an algorithm's output. The book is gripping and tense at times, but also does a good job of showing us how technology can worm its way into our lives in ways we may not have imagined.

Fun summer read. Brutally honest self biography of a world renowned Model, from childhood to present.An optimistic view of her life, through glamour and fame, heartbreak and failure.

An achingly beautiful novel depicting the immigrant experience as seen through the hard work of low wage jobs and how we treat those in this country who live on the margins. Highly recommend.
