It was OK slow start
In The Company Of Cheerful Ladies

Another delightful No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency story. I enjoy the quirkiness of McCall Smith's take on Botswana society. I have read at least 7 of these books!
Great Big Beautiful Life: Reese's Book Club

book cover


This book spent so much time going through Margret’s ancestry that it didn’t spend enough time developing the relationship between the two main characters. I felt like we jumped from “who is he?” to “I love you” at an unreasonable pace. But I still enjoyed it enough to get to the good twist at the end!

If you like baseball, you'll love this story. Between Joey's Italian family, which revolve all events around food - and Bobbi's family, that own a llama farm, these two young kids find they have more common that they realize. A funny and serious book for middle grade readers.

Another good strong female lead WWII novel, to include WWI as well which is different! I enjoyed this one although felt like the majority of the book was a very long lead up to the action. Worth the wait though!

The Skull

book cover


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 a cute novel
Death By Chocolate Raspberry Scone

book cover


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.
The Dream Hotel
by Laila Lalami

book cover


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.
