I liked this book because I really like animals and I love the movie as well!

A stand-alone title from Strout’s that takes readers into the past when a newly qualified minister and his young wife move to a small village in Maine. Disaster strikes the minister’s young family, leaving them in turmoil. Rumors spread through the village and the minister’s future seems uncertain. This is an engaging story about community, faith, friendship, love, families, and life.

It's a great book and a great plot and one of the first books I ever read -ollie

Boo had great tips, really liked the co author. Dan Harris is ..interested but seems genuine.

It was a great book about children working together and it is part of a siris

This book was recommended by a coworker and I listened to the audio via Libby. Overall, this book gave me a lot to think about regarding current comforts, personal physical challenges, and mental fortitude. While I may not follow through with all of the book’s calls to action, I do think I’ll try to embrace some of its spirit.

A Rip Through Time by Kelley Armstrong is a fast-paced, clever blend of time travel and mystery that had me hooked from the start. When modern-day detective Mallory Atkinson wakes up in Victorian Scotland, trapped in another woman’s body, she’s forced to use her 21st-century skills to solve a chilling murder. I loved the mix of historical setting, suspenseful twists, and strong characters. It’s smart, gripping, and just plain fun. I can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series.

Not one of his best…started off strong but then got too confusing!

Loved it!!!! Highly recommend

Helen Cartwright, 83 y/o, has returned to her family home in a small village in England after 60 years in Australia to die. Not that she has a diagnosis beyond being old. She has been back for 3 years, but returned still actively grieving the abrupt loss of her husband and the tragic loss of her son. She is very lonely and isolated. She does the same thing most days and memories do not give her comfort. Then she unwittingly brings a 5” male mouse into her house. He decides to stay with her and she decides to care for him. (This is not a talking mouse or an anthropomorphic rodent). To care for him she starts meeting a few people she can connect with as she moves from removing the mouse by trapping to naming Sipsworth and hoping wildlife rescue group will take him to making Sipsworth a housemate. Eventually it is revealed that Helen has done significant things. Slow start. A comforting book. Perhaps this book raises awareness of long term grieving, loneliness, sadness and isolation in people in our lives (or in ourselves).
