Recommended to me by my 16 yr old granddaughter. Not the type of book I usually read but it was a very good story

This is now one of my favorite books and definitely one of my favorite nonfiction books. It explains what book banning is, why it’s currently bad and getting worse, and what to do about it. It addresses book banning and explains some of the ridiculous reasons why books have been banned. It is written by authors whose books have been banned. This book is filled with book recommendations and resources. This book also gives tips on how to help stop book banning in your community and explains what the world loses when a book is banned. This book is so amazing and is definitely a must-have in every place in the world. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves and cares about books.

Escape From A Video Game is a fun interactive book that plays out like a video game. It is really fun to read and I recommend this to anyone who likes interactive books where your choices impact the story. This book also has some humor with it.

This is the first in the series that I read. Usually, I like to read from the beginning, but I was able to enjoy this immensely. I love period books with characters who are feminist and this author described these two sisters well - strong, supporting each other, and not married! Wow! They go around helping others. We need more books like this.

Loved this book

This audio book was filled with great care for people wanting to heal prickly relationships. The points shared can extend to all relationships, not just partner ones.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I stumbled upon this book while searching my library's mystery shelves. I am a big fan of the Gilded Age and this sounded like a good read. Pamela Thompson is used to living richly and spending her time volunteering at charities. Unfortunately, her husband has foolishly spent their fortune in a scam. Pamela and her husband lose everything. Then Pamela loses her husband, Jack. She then takes over a boardinghouse that is one of her investments since she and her ward Brenda can live there. Pamela becomes a store detective at Macy's. This was my favorite part of the book. I loved reading about her training with Harry, the store setting, all of the items for sale back then. Pamela goes on to become a compation to Lydia Jennings, a rich woman who thinks there is something amiss with her household finances, staff, etc. I also loved the friendship that forms with Pamela's attorney boss, Prescott. I struggled to figure out who the murderer was - which is always a fun thing for a reader. I love the constant guessing game while reading a good mystery book. I plan on reading the other books in this series because I really liked how strong Pamela became while remaining a lady in those times. (from my Goodreads review)
