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

Such great Portland references - fun to know all the actual places!

At the insistence of her ex, writer Lucy Barton leaves NYC at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and moves with him to a seaside house in Maine. There they spend weeks in lockdown, visiting their children only sporadically. We see pandemic restrictions through their eyes: empty store shelves, masking, washing hands - and clothes after a trip to the grocery store - and distrust of outsiders. As weeks turn to months, each ponders their shared future, their past in NYC, and the complications and unhappy surprises as 2020 becomes 2021. Readers need not have read other Strout novels to enjoy this book, but those who have already met Lucy will appreciate this deep dive into her life.

Loved it!!! Was desperately rooting for Delphie.

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

I liked how the unicorn put lots of outfits on.

Fun adventurous book where you explore places to find the 7 dragon balls!

Chi's Sweet Home was a book about a cat named Chi. Chi was lost from her cat family and found a new family. The family lives in an apartment that pets aren't allowed. They have to find a new place to live or do something about Chi. The first type of art was my favorite because Chi was always blushing, but when it got to the middle Chi stopped blushing. I would recommend this book to people who like cats.

Detective agency at the back of a cafe replicates recipes from clients’ long ago memories. Too bad this isn’t a “scratch ‘n sniff” book because some of the dishes sound amazing!

It was so interesting I could not but the book down read it 5 hours in a row
