Run For The Hills
by Kevin Wilson
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Reviews say "wry and hilarious." Wry, yes. Hilarious, not so much. This is a book about family. What is a family, what does it mean to find one, to be part of one. I enjoyed this book but prefer Wilson's most previous two. I loved the characters but found the story a little slow.

This was one of the best books I have ever read. There is 6 stories in one book, so it always keeps you interested! I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a good story!

I like how her hair color changes and her feelings change when she is feeling different things!

Thanksgiving On Thursday

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.

I like it. I chose it because it's time for me to go to bed. And I really liked this book and I hope we can read it again, but there are other books to read.

Forget Me Not
by Miralee Ferrell

book cover


2.5 stars. I listened to this audiobook in one sitting as it’s quite a quick read, clocking in at 4 hours. I picked this up because I was looking for books that would satisfy a “two books with the same titles” bingo square, and there’s at least three other Forget Me Nots that I have/will read. As an Oregonian, I was intrigued by the historical romance set in Baker City. I don’t often read Christian fiction, but it’s also nice to mix it up. In this second chance romance, Julia and preacher Seth rekindle their former flame after seven years apart. This book’s first turn-off was how Julia went from not recognizing this apparent love of her life to instantly feeling infatuated as if no time or intervening events had passed. I really struggled with the Chinese immigrant representation. It felt so stereotypical with too much emphasis on the white savior. Maybe the stilted broken English speech on the audiobook exaggerated the effect, but I felt there was a missed opportunity to humanized these underrepresented characters. I appreciate what the author is trying to do (as evidenced in the author’s notes), but I think she misses the mark in execution. Maybe this book would be better as a full-length novel in which their story gets fleshed out a bit more. I almost rounded this book up on the rating because I think the intentions are good, but as it currently stands, I would recommend skipping this.

Harry Potter is the best book series in the entire world. If you like adventure and Magic, this is the series for you. It’s amazing with twists and turns and how it the series all ties up at the end. It is the most incredible creative series ever written. J. K. Rowling is a genius! I AM THE NUMBER ONE HARRY POTTER FAN!!!!
