Evil spy school is a very good book.

not as good as the first book, but still very interesting. the book had an even slower rate, but still hooked me in. The book goes more into the history behind the first book, as well as exlaining more of what came after. would reccomend. worse than Wool(book 1) because it goes a lot into ethics, and can be a little challenging to read.

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

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.

I love this book, it’s really given me support and has aided in me not feeling so alone in my adhd journey. Will totally read again and I definitely recommend.

Evil spy school is the best!

Outstanding view of Welsh coal mining village with wonderful prose. So touching and full of feeling. I have his next book on hold.

3.75 rounded up. This was not my favorite Magic Treehouse adventure. It felt a bit hokey. My 4yo had a lot of questions about smoking (cultural Native American representation).

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.

3.5 stars. This was a decent YA read that follows 17-year old Madeline in a sort of coming-of-age romance. Her brother is engaged to a woman who Mads fears may not be the right fit. This book is about her family interactions as well as many firsts- dates, kiss, and more. I liked the premise but felt like this book lost its way slightly in the love triangle aspect with potential suitor Connor and Marco. I appreciate that this book was not totally expected and messy at times in a real life sort of way. I listened to an ARC audiobook on NetGalley.
