by Alice Oseman

I love Alice Oseman's other series, Heart stopper, so I thought it would be interesting to read another one of her books, a novel, this time. The novel is also in the POV of a character in Heart stopper, Tori, so I wanted to learn more about her life. Even though she is Charlie's sister, we don't learn a lot about her in Heart stopper. This book was pretty good and fun to read.

I have just re read this book after about 20 years. Still in my top 5 favorite books and authors. Louise Erdrich is masterful at weaving together family histories and stories.

A novel about my two favorite professions. Had to read it. Was not disappointed!

The Women
by Kristin Hannah

book cover


Kristin Hannah takes on a historically close fictional experience of women in wartime with the story of Frankie McGrath. Cheer for her as she learns to love nursing side by side with war heroes who saved lives and comforted the dying. Suffer with her on her return through a difficult reentry but a path to healing and recovery. Kristin Hanna provides a rich list of further reading. A Piece of my Heart by Keith Walker is a treasure trove of the experiences of 26 nurses--true tales. An all time fave is Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried. As part of a generation that didn't experience a draft but was just younger than one that did, reading the stories gave me a chance to understand better what veterans live through and live with all of their lives.

Black Panther Book 6

It was a very good book and was truly a exciting, excellent, and an exquisite book to read. Feels both fresh and exciting, crafting a distinct identity that stands out against the many other books on the stands. In the book, there was a lot going on and it was kind of hard to connect the pictures to the text. But overall, the book was very good and I look forward to reading the next parts of the books.

Scattered Showers

These 9 stories made me feel all sorts of ways but mostly: happy. I loved getting to know these new characters and enjoyed learning about them as the stories progressed. Even though I knew these were love stories, I was always surprised when the characters kissed. My favorite of the stories was Winter Songs for Summer, where a downstairs neighbor gave customized CD's for the main character, who was going through a breakup. The last few stories were not exactly the type of books I usually read, but despite it being unusual, I enjoyed the characters even if it was only a little. Overall, Scattered Showers was a quick read as well as a book I could finish and think about for at least a few minutes.

The Gray House

I found this book to be a truly unique and immersive experience. It's set in a boarding school for kids with disabilities, but it's so much more than that - the story weaves together reality and fantasy in mind-bending ways. The characters and their relationships are complex and fascinating, even if the narrative structure can be confusing at times. While it's not an easy read, I was captivated by the surreal atmosphere and depth of the world Petrosyan created.

A disappointment. There has been so much hype about this title. There is no way a therapist would be able to engage in the investigative actions that Theo did. It is too bad - i waited a long time to read this.

It is a very engaging book that makes me want to read the last book in the series. I am excited to read the next book after reading the teaser provided at the very end of the book. Some people are excited about the book Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
