The death of a hotel guest in a shabby seaside village comes to the attention of big city police when they learn that the dead man was a retired cop. Local police and a university professor also take interest. Was this murder or an accidental death? Is this linked to a past murder? What secrets are being hidden by the innkeeper’s family? This is one in a series of books featuring Japan’s Detective Galileo. Highly enjoyable. Kept me guessing. Will definitely read more from this author.

Keeper of the Lost Cities is an INCREDIBLE fantasy series. It has a complex plot with many interesting twists and complicated characters. I have reread the series multiple times and it never gets old. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that loves fantasy.

I liked it a lot because I like cupcakes and I like the characters in the book and what they did. And I like what the story was about.

I like what this book is about.

I read this book with my 4.5 year old. In this story, Jack and Annie go to the first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims and Wampanoag Native Americans in Plymouth. Squanto was the strongest presence but otherwise I felt this was a lot of unrealized potential.

Loved this one quite a bit, always been a huge fan of robot stories and their ability to question what makes us human, and this one does a good job with it. Also very refreshing to see a robot story that isn't about them going rogue or otherwise revolting against humanity, instead asking "what would it look like if a robot had limitless love for its human?"

I like how Harry Potter is kind and stands up for what is right.

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!

Love it especially the fact that you wouldn’t know before reading this book in the back
