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.

Super good book, very deep topics, would recommend...

I love the Jack Reacher series, and A Wanted Man did not disappoint. I read it over the weekend! Great characters, action, twists, and turns. Another fun, thrilling ride from Lee Child!

A really good book. It was about a friend, they were going to have a party and they made a mistake, she forgot her family’s present. They gave all the presents to the animals in the forest while she was looking for her family’s present.

A little slow but I loved the characters and history. It made me want to go back to Florence and see the artwork with more appreciation.

interesting book

Great book. Highly recommend for 4th graders and up.

I read this book because I was looking to fulfill a book bingo challenge to read a book published in 1985. I have seen the movie a couple times so it was fun to revisit Kiki’s magical world in audiobook form. This is a short, cozy, whimsical read.

This heartfelt story that is a squeal to Circus Mirandus is about a boy named Micah coming to live in a magical circus. In the circus Micah can tie magical knots in which hold memories and strong connections. As the story goes on Micah’s power grows and soon he does not know if he can control it or not. Then all of a sudden his grandmother Victoria the bird women comes to the Circus after betraying them many years ago and it’s Micah who’s the center of the circus’s power to destroy Victoria.-written by Mackenzie

I liked it because it teaches you that if you do not try something you will never know
