A Marriage At Sea
by Sophie Elmhirst
View in Library Catalog
book cover


This book kept popping into my radar as an Indie Next pick for July 2025 and I read about it via The NY Times. I don’t often go for nonfiction memoir/biography but my interest piqued at this tale of a couple surviving adrift for four months after their yacht capsized. It’s a wild story and worth a read. I listen to the short audiobook on Spotify.

The Irresistible Urge To Fall For Your Enemy
by Brigitte Knightley

book cover


3.5 stars. I feel torn about this book. It had a strong start introducing the brainy healer FMC and the MMC assassin who begrudgingly turns to her for a cure to an illness that is slowly sealing his fate in death. The premise has so much promise! I felt like the chemistry was under-delivered and the overarching plot felt rather underwhelming to me. I wanted more adventure and magic but instead there were brothels and boredom. I think I’ll skip future books in this romantasy series.

I listened to this audiobook on Spotify after seeing universal praise for this debut epistolary novel. I thought this story of aging Sybil Van Antwerp was engaging and diverse, covering all aspects of her life and varied interactions with others. The narration was great. I can see the appeal of the tender, painful tale.

Coolidge
by Amity Shlaes
View in Library Catalog
book cover


An intriguing, surprisingly engaging biography of a little-known president. This book shows Calvin Coolidge in all of his understated, but by no means insignificant, glory. Reading this book is the only time I’ve ever laughed out loud while reading a biography—a ringing endorsement indeed!
