My favorite book of the year! I may be a *little* bias because I went to elementary school with the author and am a super proud friend. A page turner and complex relationships that leave you wanting more!!

Great epic viking fantasy adventure

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.

Doug is a funny dog who can't stop digging. He digs there, he digs here, he digs everywhere. This picture book will make young readers chuckle!

A wonderful twist at the end that will surprise you.

It was OK slow start

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.

Did not like it at all!!!

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.

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