This was a fun adventure romance! Typically I hate the miscommunication trope but the dual narratives and insane amount of pining made it enjoyable. The two characters were hilariously oblivious.

Simon meets a dog that has a bone better than his. The trick is... this bone belongs to Simon's reflection! Funny story that leans toward acceptance.

Mixed review for this one…I enjoyed the aspect of getting to know the characters but overall a little disappointed in the end.

When you enter this dystopian world you are quick to remember that life may be easier outside of this world. Everything is very regimented within this military world before you know it you are trying to shield your arms thinking you may also have special powers that are illegal.

Short and absolutely like an episode of looney tunes

The author is a fan of John Irving and it shows - a oftentimes delightful book filled with rich characters. The story does a lot to illuminate how the gay community suffered throughout the decades of 1940s and onward in Ireland. Many of the plot points and twists and turns were a bit predictable and rote, but otherwise a good solid emotionally-fulfilling read.

Such an interesting book! I got a little bored once I got into the trade and consumers sections but the earlier parts of the book were loaded with very detailed explanations of fibers, history of textiles, and how it has impacted humanity.

A wonderful twist at the end that will surprise you.

A wonderful twist at the end that you don’t see coming!

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!
