Definitely a very introspective look into this women’s life. She’s very expressive about her internal dialogue and view of the world and her relationships.

While it is possible that I read this book when I was in school, I don’t remember any of it, and I certainly would not have appreciated it the way I do now. I did this as an audio book and the reader did such an amazing job of not only bringing the old man to life but of using his voice to make you feel like you were right there. I highly recommend this book, specifically as an audio book. It will be more than just a read; it will be an experience.

Since I really liked his book The Midnight Library, I was looking forward to this one. But I was disappointed when I started reading and saw that it was just a compilation of feel-good sayings and stores, many of which are just obvious like Only you can be you and It does not matter what other people think. And while each sentiment by itself could be helpful if they were, say, on a calendar where you got one idea a day and then spent the day thinking about that, here you are bombarded with one after another. It was just not for me.

Nice little book illustrating and explaining different ways to make and maintain friendships. Started some good conversations with my almost 5 year old

This was a gift from a great aunt and we love it dearly. Momma had it memorized quickly and recited it lovingly at bed time and in the middle of the night.

While I’m not a sci-fi fan. I did enjoy this book. The book begins with a dramatic event and a creature who is part human but mostly robot saving the day. It is told from the Murder Bot’s, as he is referred to, perspective and that is what makes the story interesting. It is interesting to watch a creature who is mostly non-human struggle to deal with his humanity. And I enjoyed the surprise at the end. I will try another book from this author.

What an interesting book! On the surface it is a story about a mother troubled by many ailments, many of which no one can seem to diagnose, that result in her not being able to walk all the time. She and her adult daughter, who has put her life on hold to care for her, leave England and go to Spain to see a doctor who may be able to help her. But this book is really about a relationship between a mother and daughter, and about people coming to terms with themselves. But what really makes this book special is the writing which is so descriptive and engaging in a way I have not found before in a book. A definite must read.

This was an excellent mystery and one with an unusual wetting; a moor in England. Combine that with a hound that glows in the dark and you’ve got yourself an interesting start. The mystery progresses at a good pace with good characters. If you like traditional mysteries, I highly recommend this one.

This coming of age story has strong themes including growing up and fitting into your own skin, along with integrity and friendship withstanding difficulties. It is a great book for anyone looking for a good read with a fantastic storyline, different points-of-views, and overall emotional resonance.

Excellent book and this book is really three stories in one. As with all the “#1 Ladies Detective Agency” books, the setting is Botswana and the title story centers around finding a beauty contestant who is morally sound. Also, we see Mr. J.L. B. Matekoni struggle with a personal challenge, and Mma Makutsi does outstandingly well in a new role. To read these books and know these characters is to love them and Botswana.
