An exciting book full of action on every page. There are immersive mysteries, deep characters, and a world full of exploration. Brandon Sanderson does a great job of drawing you into the world that he's created and leads you to explore the expansive narrative and backstory of the book.

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.

Aftertaste

I devoured this book. In my opinion, it’s an extremely well-written triumph of a ghost story that is perfect for foodies who enjoy magical realism. I heard about this book when it was listed as a June Indie Next pick and its premise piqued my interest. I listened to the audiobook on Libby and would be eager to read more from debut author Daria Lavelle. This captivating and haunting culinary masterpiece was *chef’s kiss!

Look Closer

I listened to this audiobook on Libby because it was picked for the Portland State alumni book club. I enjoyed the various perspectives and unreliable narrators in this tale of a Halloween murder. The plot skips around in time and feels like a tangled web of infidelity, betrayal, and financially motivated deceit. While rather elaborate in plotting and timeline, I did enjoy this twists and felt it was well paced.

32 Days In May

book cover


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.

A Kid has to eat 15 Worms to get money. It's not my favorite book.
