I enjoyed this book. A nice thriller with lots of twists and nice pace.

We enjoyed this trip to India with Jack and Annie. It was interesting to learn about endangered species like tigers and rhinoceroses.

The true story of what it took for a young Jewish boy to survive Holocaust Germany and escape to Switzerland.

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.

A story about the endurance of true friendship. The characters are so vividly drawn I feel like I'd recognize them on the street. Occasionally slow, though the ending is quite satisfying.

This book was delightful! I loved the bold colors and quirky illustrations in this juvenile graphic novel. This witty, dark folktale about two sisters had me laugh out loud a couple times. The book conveys several important messages about generosity (vs selfishness and greed), respecting the environment, kindness and more. I think young readers who enjoy a twisted tale and older readers who appreciate unique humor will get a kick out of this book that I borrowed from the local library and read in one sitting.

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.

3.5 stars. This book kept popping up on my radar as an emotional romance that I ultimately listened to on audio via Libby. The strengths of this book are in FMC Nadia’s clear voice and the lupus representation. I struggled with the believability of Marco’s character. While I was interested in the time-limited romance of dating just for the month of May, the love story felt a bit too intense for the rather playful premise and came off as instalove at times.

I recommend this book to anyone interested in politics, economics, sociology, religious studies, etc. WWZ is a masterful look into a post-Collapse society following a zombie outbreak. I've recommended this book to people from all sorts of backgrounds and fields of study/work. Each one finds something in the book which pulls them in. However, some people don't like zombies or anything which could be considered scary so that's okay too.
