I loved this book! It is so good and heartwarming!!! ??

I really liked this book. I couldn't put it down, it was funny, sweet, and heartfelt, and I just loved it a lot. I would easily recommend it to anyone.

Loved this book, as a stranger things fan it really filled me in on plot holes. It also gave me a fun story that showed me who characters truly were.

This book is perfect. It is my favorite in the whole Heartstopper series. Alice Oseman did a wonderful job with this book.

Jon Meacham portrays Jefferson not as an aloof, dispassionate philosopher, but as a masterful, pragmatic politician. The book explores how Jefferson brilliantly navigated turbulent partisanship and compromised his strict ideological dogmas to build America into a continental power. The most eye-opening part of this book about Jefferson was that he addresses the profound contradictions in Jefferson’s life, particularly his stance on slavery. Though Jefferson recognized the moral evil of slavery, he owned slaves and had a long-term sexual relationship with Sally Hemings. The book tackles this duality to create a more human and complex portrait of the Founding Father. My reading focus for 2026 has been a deep dive back into American history. Re-learning these stories has been incredibly rewarding, and it’s a journey I plan to continue long after the year ends.

Fun rom com!

Not my favorite Colleen Hoover book. It had a great twist but it wasn’t her typical sit on the edge of your seat book.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. Thank you to Vonda N. McIntyre and Jo Fletcher Books for a copy I won in a contest. Marie-Josephe and her priest brother, Yves, serve in Louis XIV's court. The King wants Yves to capture a rare sea monster desperately. Yves has a scientific mind as well as a priestly one. Marie-Josephe also has a scientific mind along with artistic skills. She is eager to help her brother in the study of the sea monster by drawing the illustrations during the autopsy. Marie-Josephe is a sensitive soul and secretly wants to marry and have children. I don't give away spoilers and it's very hard not to at this point in the review.... I loved the court setting, Marie-Josephe's increasing bravery, Yves' struggle between his scientific mind and his religious one. The book did seem like a long read but only because it was so full of details. That's not a bad thing and certainly made the magical side come to life. (from Goodreads)

This was the book club selection of several book clubs that I follow. It is a book of letters, written and received by a retired lawyer, and gradually reveals her life. A bit difficult to follow without looking at the composer of each letter before reading the letter itself.

This book is FANTASTIC. It's about a trans girl named Lucy Meyers who is looking for a fresh start in college. She happens to live an hour away from one of the most prestigious theater programs. She is very excited to be roomates with her best friend, Callie, and party with other drama nerds like her. But, even more importantly, she wants to introduce herself as Lucy to people she hasn't gone to school with since kindergarten. But, while touring the campus, she finds two boys that go to their high school and they make the typical transphobic comments. This wasn't the fresh start Lucy had in mind. During a late night internet spiral, she finds another college with a great theater program and it's LGBTQIA+ friendly. There's just one problem. It's an all woman's college, and they haven't admitted a trans woman before. Will they let her enroll? If they do, will they truly accept her? This is an INCREDIBLE book highlighting how important acceptance and love truly are.
