I really liked this book because it had a really good plot and it made all of the other books way easier to understand. I really liked this book.

It was amazing and so much fun.every page made me smile and want to read more ??

Not that easy to follow along with the pictures and instructions, even with a lot of the basic sewing skills.

This book came onto my radar via NetGalley. I was lucky to receive an ARC for review. Katie Beudert provided excellent southern narration that provided the perfect ambiance for a beauty pageant and murder mystery. I thought this book was a lot of fun. The characters were colorful. This is a good summer read to escape from the real world day-to-day. Read if you’re a fan of Miss Congeniality.

funny

The story of Hawaii’s colonization and land laws as told by a former writer for the Washington Post, written as she researched her own family history on Maui and her extended family’s responsibility for land parcel deeded to their long-ago Hawaiian ancestor. Includes photos, glossary of common Hawaiian words, and an index. Essential reading for every part Hawaiian person.

4.5 stars. I’m a fan of Ashley Poston and have been looking forward to this book that combines magical realism, romance and song. I loved how each chapter is a lyric. The book has touching dementia representation. While I think the “magic” of the book was well executed, it’s hard not to have a critical lens of a mind reading situation in which both main characters can tap into each other’s thoughts. My other gripe was how the male main character went by two names throughout the book, which somehow messed with my perception of their bond. Still, I enjoyed this book and will read more from Ashley Poston in the future. I listened to the audiobook with its narration by Patti Murin.

Beautiful picture book that encourages everyone to try and repair or better our world.

Three half Japanese / half English sisters spend their summer in their seaside childhood home, looking back on their pasts, reveling in summer delights, and discerning their futures. They are joined by their fussy old great-grandmother, a beloved five-year-old nephew, and three childhood friends.

I just started and it already so good (and emotional )
