Loved this book so much. It is well written, suspenseful, full of adventure & love. It is like a warm hug!

4.5 stars. Jack and Annie travel to the prairie and visit a dugout schoolhouse, write with chalk on slate and befriend pioneers. They encounter a twister and have to hide in a storm cellar. This is one of their more exciting and endearing adventures.

I read this for a bookclub, and it was not for me. The story follows the life of Isaac Dahl. This book isn’t that long, but the titular character’s life is (as promised) very long. The problem is, I never cared about the characters. They felt stiff. This felt like more of a catalog of events over time. Everything felt like an observation rather than emotion and personality driving action. I appreciate the LGBTQ representation in the first person protagonist but never really got into this audiobook I borrowed via Libby.

This is a very great book with suspense, drama, and overall the book that is very good. Thank you for making this an OBOB book

I love it because some days you just feel grumpy

I went into this book with some skepticism because I wasn’t sure how a space-related sapphic romance would pan out, but Taylor Jenkins Reid delivered! The meat of this book is actually flashbacks leading up to the shuttle disaster, with snippets of the catastrophe interspersed throughout. Joan and Vanessa are two astronauts in the 1980s who defy odds, overcome sexism and develop mutual respect and affection. Joan balances her career and family drama largely created by her self-centered sister. The relationship between Joan and her endearing niece Frances really tugged at my heartstrings. I love TJR’s way with words and the narration of this audiobook. This was great!

This book is amazing. So many mood swings. I love it!

It was a very good book. I liked the characters and I recommend buying it.

An unexpected ginseng page turner, I especially enjoyed hearing about american ginseng and the stories of those who grow it as I genuinely had no idea the US was a big producer of ginseng let alone that we had a native species of it--what a hole in my knowledge! Craig Thompson has been consistently making good stuff since Blankets and I can certainly say this is not a subject I thought he'd be tackling but it's a good one.

My 4.5 year old loved this book and would rate it 5 stars. I thought this was one of the hokier books in the Magic Treehouse and did not find it as interesting and educational as some of the other more historical tales.
