This book is a sequel to Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley.

Great book with lots of twist and terns.

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.

I read this book because I’m a fan of the Meant to Be series in which various authors retell Disney princess stories. This modernization of Mulan was ok. I kept thinking how I might have made different choices as the author, but I did get a kick out of Mushu. This book was a bit forgettable for me. I listened to it on Audible using my monthly Amazon Music Unlimited credit.

My fav book!!

Over the summer, high school senior Grace came out to family and friends as transgender. She hadn’t planned on returning to the football field because she’s a girl now. But the team needs a great kicker and they convince Grace it will work. Senior year will be a time for new friends, old friends, college recruiting visits, wild parties, prom, confusion, despair, pink hair, podcasts, haters, and lots of football!

Real streak of winning books lately, absolutely incredible work on display, the large size and gorgeous illustrations really help you get lost in the paranoid, anxious, and nothing-ness of an unproductive Sunday. Firmly planted some James Brown in my ear despite being a book--also proof that you can have a protagonist that is being incredible unlikeable from start to finish and you can still see yourself in them, or maybe just seeing yourself see yourself in them. Good stuff. Been reading lots of graphic novels that are acclaimed lately that I actually don't like so it's nice to read one that WAS actually enjoyable.

It was good ??

This was a silly book. I liked when they fell into the water ??

This book was recommended by a coworker and I listened to the audio via Libby. Overall, this book gave me a lot to think about regarding current comforts, personal physical challenges, and mental fortitude. While I may not follow through with all of the book’s calls to action, I do think I’ll try to embrace some of its spirit.
