Another visit to Olive Kitteridge’s corner of Maine, but this time she is not the total focus of the story. Instead the reader is introduced to a number of previously untold stories from the town’s past, a murder is exposed, and various characters explore love and the meaning of life.

This has been a great book for taking the moral judgements out of not having a clean house. It also contains some great cleaning hacks and makes you realize that clean enough is truly enough.

There are a lot of really good horror graphic novels being made these todays. This one I can stronly say is perfect! Not one thing I would change or expand upon. It is such a great mix of sci-fi, horror & the apocalypse theme.

The Very Long, Very Strange Life Of Isaac Dahl
by Bart Yates

book cover


I read this for a bookclub, and it was not for me. The story follows the life of Isaac Dahl. This book isn’t that long, but the titular character’s life is (as promised) very long. The problem is, I never cared about the characters. They felt stiff. This felt like more of a catalog of events over time. Everything felt like an observation rather than emotion and personality driving action. I appreciate the LGBTQ representation in the first person protagonist but never really got into this audiobook I borrowed via Libby.

Love That Dog
by Sharon Creech

book cover


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.

I thought it was really well-written. The club was cool and I also love making signs. It inspired me.
