It’s an amazing book and is very interesting it’s about a really smart boy passing a series of test.

very interesting. It inspires friendship and the plot is great!

Disappointing ending, but I fear that was purposeful.

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 loved this intro to Shakespearean England and the time of Queen Elizabeth I! We blazed through it.

good reader, great characters both primary and secondary

Good historical book .

I like it. I chose it because it's time for me to go to bed. And I really liked this book and I hope we can read it again, but there are other books to read.

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.

Detective agency at the back of a cafe replicates recipes from clients’ long ago memories. Too bad this isn’t a “scratch ‘n sniff” book because some of the dishes sound amazing!
