Summer Reading Celebration

Solid 4 stars. That was quite good. Very French(?) So it was a little hard to get through. I liked the fantasy element and the forbidden romance plot. I also liked the competition aspect of it. Very Hunger Games x Top Chef (or...some other cooking competition show). Lol liked it

I really liked the CLSC lecture and I really liked this. Very Temperance Brennan and the 300s.

This book echoes a prominent theme in current parenting: get kids outside interacting with nature. I appreciate the practical suggestions on gardening, but the chapters on hunting and fishing were unrelatable.

I loved the movie. Read the book. Loved the book. Separately though. Is my brain fully formed?

Heartwarming and heartbreaking, all at the same time. The aftermath of Ben coming out is what every queer person fears and what happens to so many people. The story handles it in a good way, however; it doesn't feel like suffering for suffering's sake. Even after being kicked out of their house for who they are, Ben is able to find happiness, love, and acceptance. This is a story of heartache, but also a story of hope.

I loved how it combined various literary characters from different classics into an action packed novel. Oh and the alternative time line for Queen Victoria's London, England is perfect

The inspiration for "Moby Dick" Even if nonfiction isn't your thing, you'll love this!! Its amazing how we underestimate nature.... I will be visiting Nantucket as soon as possible to see where this ill fated ship launched from.

I was obsessed! Theo, Winter, and Viv have my heart!!! This is by far my favorite of the series. Can’t wait to read Bailey and Beau’s story.

This was a very insightful book focused on the QAnon cult and how/why people are susceptible to believing conspiracy theories. The author follows a number of individuals and their loved ones, documenting the destruction of the American family by those who've bought into QAnon and it's insane conspiracy theories.

Excellent!
