Fantastically written, pulse quickening, Mo Hayder can write a book that leaves you thinking about it for many years to come

Very disappointing. I used to love this series but the last few books have not been up to par.

The true story of what it took for a young Jewish boy to survive Holocaust Germany and escape to Switzerland.

I enjoyed this short novel-in-verse penned by Arriel Vinson, one of Reese’s LitUp fellows. There are beautiful, poetic moments especially as Jae skates. I enjoyed the bit of a love story and how this book felt like a coming-of-age/maturation moment. I listened to the audiobook on Spotify

This book is really cool because it is also like a seek and find book where you have to find the mermaid on every page. She is pretty and she hides really good.

I think this book might be kinda bad....and yet I read all of it and the previous volumes, what does this mean?

I loved the way each chapter was from a different perspective.

I liked how the unicorn put lots of outfits on.

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!

Super fun you also learn about problem solving and how to fix your attitude when things go wrong.
