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.

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.

A nice story, although a little sad. Not as well written as some other authors I've read, but a pleasant read overall.

Definitely a difficult read, very emotional. The characters stick with you and you will continue to think about it.

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.

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

It started out well-paced as a missing person case. However, it lost steam for me halfway when the case was essentially solved and it changed paths into something else. Overall, well-written but fell short for me.

Enjoyed this WWII historical fiction with 2 timelines following the story of a forger who helped change names of Jewish children and helped them escape France to Switzerland.

Louise and Milo are playing a fun game of fetch, until there is a slight misunderstanding. Milo goes on a quest to find a stick that was never thrown. At the same time, Louise goes on a search for Milo. A story of pet/human love!

Reread of one my favorite series! This reality tv drama set in the omegaverse is exactly the kind of book you need to get out of a slump. There’s love, drama and a little bit of magic
