Raising Hare
by Chloe Dalton

book cover


After the recommendation of a friend in my memoir writing group, I listened to this audiobook on Spotify. The entire book revolves around the relationship between the author and the young leveret she rescues. Against all odds, the wild hare survives. Chloe Dalton’s meditation on the experience, animal behavior and the impact of humans is moving. Her writing is beautifully descriptive and tender. The book feels timeless in many ways. While listening to Louise Brealey’s narration, I felt calm and free of distraction/outside noise. The book tugs at your heart, gives you hope, and is bittersweet in its honesty. This was lovely!

The Art Of Vanishing

book cover


I really wanted to love this book! It came onto my radar because I follow the author’s nycbookgirl instagram for bookish content. The idea of a love story in an art museum with magical realism sounded like such an amazing premise, and the lovely cover sets a nice tone. The book got off to a solid start but fragments into multiple disparate plot twists (one of which involved the pandemic, which took the book out of the present for me). I also felt like the emotional declarations between the two main characters felt too big and instalove for my taste. Still, someday when I come across Matisse’s The Music Lesson, I will immediately think of this book and all that it strove to achieve. I listened to the dual narration audiobook on Libby.

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.

My 4.5 year old loved this book and would rate it 5 stars. I thought this was one of the hokier books in the Magic Treehouse and did not find it as interesting and educational as some of the other more historical tales.

A Beauty Queen's Guide To Murder And Mayhem
by Kristen Bird

book cover


This book came onto my radar via NetGalley. I was lucky to receive an ARC for review. Katie Beudert provided excellent southern narration that provided the perfect ambiance for a beauty pageant and murder mystery. I thought this book was a lot of fun. The characters were colorful. This is a good summer read to escape from the real world day-to-day. Read if you’re a fan of Miss Congeniality.

Forget Me Not

This Julie Soto book has been on my radar for a while and I finally read it for a summer reading bingo. I liked the two main characters and their chemistry. The side characters also added to the story and were entertaining/enjoyable. The dual narration was great. I’m not the biggest tattoo fan, but Elliot’s body ink was cool, and I loved all the floral and wedding elements in the book.
