I picked up this tiny book of poetry because I have immense fondness for Sharon Creech’s novel Walk Two Moons. I blazed through this in one sitting- reading a physical copy while listening to the audiobook aptly narrated by Scott Wolf. The youthful voice of an elementary boy shines through the simple poetic prose. It took me a bit to get into the narrative but a linear story unfolds that is both sweet and tugs at the heartstrings. Moments reminded me of Beverly Cleary’s Dear Mr. Henshaw. I recommend this quick read.

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

“It’s a super good book because ai love Diary of a whimpy kid. It’s so funny.”

Hard to get through with the repetitive descriptive language but the plot was good.

When I first heard about this book about bookstores, it seemed right up my alley. Sure enough, this is a great book for book lovers and those who love browsing the shelves of their local brick and mortar. This historical journey through American booksellers goes back to the time of Benjamin Franklin and continues through cultural shifts in the county- from gay rights to racism. The business of books, the evolution of big box retailers and the transition to online sales and digital formats are all discussed. The book was a bit dry at times but did make me excited to visit independent bookstores in other parts of the country. I listened to the audiobook on Libby.

It interesting to learn

hilarious as usual

It's a great book and a great plot and one of the first books I ever read -ollie

An exciting book full of action on every page. There are immersive mysteries, deep characters, and a world full of exploration. Brandon Sanderson does a great job of drawing you into the world that he's created and leads you to explore the expansive narrative and backstory of the book.
