Circe
by madeline Miller
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I loved this book! The story touches on or at least mentions many of the gods and other recognizable figures from Greek mythology and really helped me understand how they connected. The story begins with Circe’s birth and life in the city with her family but then spends much time and attention on the island of Aeaea where she comes to terms with some old demons and charts the course for her future. If you like mythology, you will love this story.

The graphic is honestly really well done, and the core of the book is about a topic I am passionate about: human rights, and I can definitely see why this is considered a classic. Now I really want to read the original one with just text!

book cover


This is a simple story about a group of teens, 3 of whom go hiking and one who stays behind. Fire breaks out and the hikers are trapped in the park while the teen who stayed behind struggles to save his family from the fire. It’s a cursory examination of behavior while under extreme stress.

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.

Absolutely loved this heartfelt story. Shelby excelled at making a connection between grief, healing, and the unexpected wisdom we receive from the creatures and people around us. Beautifully written.

Cut and Run
by Fern Michaels

book cover


I understand that this is one book in a series and so I don’t know well all the characters, but this book is just not believable. From what I gather, this is a group of people, some of whom have military or special services training and some who do not, but all of whom work together to help people. But you have people who one minute make a strong decisive move, and the next minute are walking around shouting” Oh my god, Oh my god!” The plot was shallow and the characters actions were just not believable.
Red Car Green Car Book

Fun colors (and shades) to learn, tabs to pull, familiar objects to point to (and eventually name), we highly recommend this book. Loved it as a board book in late infancy and well into the toddler years.
