An intriguing, surprisingly engaging biography of a little-known president. This book shows Calvin Coolidge in all of his understated, but by no means insignificant, glory. Reading this book is the only time I’ve ever laughed out loud while reading a biography—a ringing endorsement indeed!

Outstanding!

Amazing series

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.

We love this series! The illustrations are lovely and cute. Bird and bear are such great friends.

This is a great book. I recommend this for readers who like adventure and survival books.

the books i read were great

edge of my seat even though this is my third time through the series. Aelin is absolutely iconic

Fascinating history of the emergence of a publicly funded regional police force with beat officers and plain oclothes detectives. Medical discoveries and new technology soon sparked new methods for solving crimes. Some photos, extensive footnotes with sources, and an index. A great read on a foggy day.

it is really interesting and funny
