A series of short stories from the past and present told from the viewpoints of some of Strout’s familiar characters. Most of the stories connect to others in this book, tales of love, life, and forgiveness. Great for fans of Strout, but not an ideal book to introduce her characters.

This book brings Jack and Annie to Australia. They obtain the final gift they need to help the dog Teddy and finish their four-part quest. We learned about kangaroos and there was a scary wildfire.

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.

It’s a great book about mental health struggles and overcoming them

It was a very good book. I liked the characters and I recommend buying it.

I think this book is a good book because... FIRST I like dogs ?? . SECOND I like the younger siblings of the original A-Z mystery kids. It was a fun story!

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.

If you like soccer then this is the book for you because there’s enough drama to keep you entertained . Also the characters have a lot of confidence. The author is Alex Morgan and she is a retired soccer player.

Great sequel to the first amazing book! Kiera Cass keeps readers engaged with suspenseful, page turning chapters, and plenty of plot twists along the way. This books is keeping me excited for the next book!

Hooky is and amazing book the author did such a good job writing it and I would read it a hundred times over again.
