I love it because some days you just feel grumpy

Graphic autobiography about Bechdel’s relationship with her mother. Bechdel considers writing a memoir about her father but delves into her mother’s story first. Filled with references to psychology and therapy books she read during that time, as well as her own time in therapy.

Cannot finish it. Too heavy and depressing.

The sweetest story! This book is a perfect introduction to chapter books for preschoolers. It has colorful illustrations and a humorous and engaging storyline. We love this series!

The Deadlands: Survival is a book about adventure, heroism, and finding a place to belong. I enjoyed reading this book because I like dinosaurs and it had an interesting concept. The author knows a lot about dinosaurs, a little bit more than I know about dinosaurs. Just the tiniest bit more. The start of the book was so good that I really wanted to keep reading and barely put it down. I would recommend The Deadlands series to people who like dinosaurs and adventure.

This book is a sequel to Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley.

This book is really entertaining and good!!!

Great book!

4.5 stars. I’m a fan of Ashley Poston and have been looking forward to this book that combines magical realism, romance and song. I loved how each chapter is a lyric. The book has touching dementia representation. While I think the “magic” of the book was well executed, it’s hard not to have a critical lens of a mind reading situation in which both main characters can tap into each other’s thoughts. My other gripe was how the male main character went by two names throughout the book, which somehow messed with my perception of their bond. Still, I enjoyed this book and will read more from Ashley Poston in the future. I listened to the audiobook with its narration by Patti Murin.

I read this book because it was a July Indie Next pick and GMA’s book club pick. I listened to the audiobook via Libby and was surprised by the English-accented narration by actress Lucy Boynton (though in retrospect I shouldn’t because of the author’s Irish origin). This book definitely felt like Survivor with more coupling and more cutthroat consequences. I couldn’t look away from the competition of it all and my interest was maintained up until the couple switching. The book had a bit of a lull but finished with what seemed to be an explosion of the seven deadly sins. This was an interesting book that would be good to discuss but also one I’m unlikely to reread.
