The Song Of Achilles

Loved this book, was so obsessed I had to read the rest of Miller’s collection!

Shield Of Sparrows
by Devney Perry

book cover


My favorite part of this romantasy is the angsty relationship between Odessa and the Guardian. This book is filled with terrifying magical creatures, a mysterious rage-inducing sickness, blood oaths, betrayal and secrets. I loved the first 75% and then once the romance storyline transitioned, it lost a bit of steam but the action of the book soared in the final chapters (A blood bath! Big reveals! Cliffhangers!). I really enjoyed the narration though some of Samantha Brentmoor’s male voices blended together. I listened to the audiobook on Libby and am already looking forward to the next in the series.

Cannot finish it. Too heavy and depressing.

Ordinary Time

I read this book because it was an Indie Next pick for May and I wanted to mix it up with a memoir/nonfiction read. I was unfamiliar with the author’s podcast but I loved the idea of a bookseller’s book. I felt like Annie was relatable. I appreciated her perspective on church. Overall, I thought she had a clear voice that will resonate with some but maybe not work for others. I listened to the audiobook on Libby.

Ban This Book
by Alan Gratz

book cover


Although this book is considered a “middle reader” book, it is a delightful story of a fourth grade girl and her friends response to book banning in the elementary school library. The audiobook narrator was very good. Is the response engineered by Amy Ann, et al something fourth graders could pull off? Maybe. The banned books include Harriet the Spy, Matilda, Is That You, God? It’s Me, Margaret and other classics. This book has been banned in Florida? Is there any other reason necessary to read this book?

Battle Of The Bookstores
by Ali Brady

book cover


This book is like a warm chocolate chip cookie- warm, sweet and brings a smile to my face! This is my favorite full-length Ali Brady book, which I listened to on audio via Libby. If you’re a fan of You’ve Got Mail and Book Lovers, read this great feel-good romance. Josie manages a literary fiction bookstore while Ryan manages a romance bookstore. The mutual owner merges the spaces and forces them to compete for the sole managerial role. Rivalry ensues and chemistry starts crackling! I enjoyed this quite a bit.

Marshmallow & Jordan
by Alina Chau

It's a cute story about a girl in a wheelchair finding an injured elephant. My favorite part (without spoilers) is when Marshmallow reveals who he really is. They should make a sequel!

Kiki's Delivery Service

I read this book because I was looking to fulfill a book bingo challenge to read a book published in 1985. I have seen the movie a couple times so it was fun to revisit Kiki’s magical world in audiobook form. This is a short, cozy, whimsical read.
