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.

Full of adventure and interesting characters.

Graphic autobiography about Bechdel’s relationship with her mother. Bechdel considers writing a memoir about her father but delves into her mother’s story first. Filled with references to psychology and therapy books she read during that time, as well as her own time in therapy.

I love it because some days you just feel grumpy

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

Sometimes "webcomic" can be an inadvertent insult--NOT IN THIS CASE! SUPER MEGA FUN!

I went into this book with some skepticism because I wasn’t sure how a space-related sapphic romance would pan out, but Taylor Jenkins Reid delivered! The meat of this book is actually flashbacks leading up to the shuttle disaster, with snippets of the catastrophe interspersed throughout. Joan and Vanessa are two astronauts in the 1980s who defy odds, overcome sexism and develop mutual respect and affection. Joan balances her career and family drama largely created by her self-centered sister. The relationship between Joan and her endearing niece Frances really tugged at my heartstrings. I love TJR’s way with words and the narration of this audiobook. This was great!

Inappropriate for little kids but entertaining

I loved this book because it was very funny and entertaining! It is about a girl who goes to Paris and runs into so many surprises on the way! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story!
