I thought I had the book figured out until the final twist at the end. A great mystery!

Circe by Madeline Miller is a really interesting book about a woman who goes through a lot and learns to become stronger and more independent. It has magic, adventure, and Greek mythology. It’s an easy and enjoyable read.

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.

Imagine, if you will, that your life completely changes because of an accident… You take responsibility for your alcohol and drug usage and just when you think you will be free, a pandemic happens. This was a powerful and moving book. (I shed some tears.)

This sprawling novel tells the tale of two WWII Australian POWs who develop an unlikely friendship. The novel won awards for its portrayal of how war affects the men who are forced to participate and the families that have to cope with their deep scars after the war. It was vaguely reminiscent of Steinbeck in its descriptions of the hard scrabble settings of the Australian country. I was glad to have learned about this acclaimed author.

I love her books!!!!! Great book!!!!!!

Awesome book!!!!! One of my favorites!!!!

This is a sweet children's book. It reminded me of "Where the Wild Things Are" with a little boy who wants to "get away from it all." I enjoyed the lovely watercolor illustrations.

Wasn't sure about it during the first story -- it felt like there was too much of a Right and Wrong -- but I ended up really enjoying it by the end

Amazing setting, decent character development, good plot. I found the love story a little contrived and the environmental tone a little heavy-handed but overall a haunting story and I'm glad I read it.
