Taking lessons from American & European history, we find all the obvious lessons & clues to point us to how today in 2025 we have democracy being challenged and a tyrant taking control.

This is a great book. It’s a shorter book but it’s a great book for readers who like adventure, scary, and mystery books.

Inappropriate for little kids but entertaining

Reviews say "wry and hilarious." Wry, yes. Hilarious, not so much. This is a book about family. What is a family, what does it mean to find one, to be part of one. I enjoyed this book but prefer Wilson's most previous two. I loved the characters but found the story a little slow.

good reader, great characters both primary and secondary

Spent is a brilliant and funny graphic novel. Alison and her wife have purchased a goat farm in Vermont. At the same time, her wife becomes an internet celebrity, Alison is trying work on her next book but keeps getting distracted. Friends who live in a nearby coop are experimenting with polyamory. Climate change, and current political movements underscore the whole story.

A beautiful book- After finishing, I recommended to my best friend who read it and loved it as well. Matt Haig can take something outlandishly fantastical and weave it into a storyline so believable and inspiring that you start look look for glimpses of that similar magic in your everyday life. A true delight!

So scary and not what you would expect!

Very interesting book. It talks about how a girl names Sophie finds out sh is an elf, and is brought to a place called the Lost Cities. She finds out that she has multiple abilities and she gets kidnapped by a band of rebels called the Neverseen ( though she doesn't know they are called the Neverseen yet). Her human parents' memories of her get erased because the elves are super secretive against the humans because the humans betrayed them. She starts school called Foxfire (yes, a fungus) and the first friend she makes is named Dex Dizznee. The Neverseen also kidnapps him, because he just so happens to be in the cave with her when she gets abducted. 10/10 story.

The coziest kind of cozy fantasy. Merhorses, cats with wings, a librarian with a talking plant for a best friend who runs a jam shop out of her woodland cottage. Also cloud bears. Pick this one up if you want a book that just feels like a warm hug.
