I devoured this book. In my opinion, it’s an extremely well-written triumph of a ghost story that is perfect for foodies who enjoy magical realism. I heard about this book when it was listed as a June Indie Next pick and its premise piqued my interest. I listened to the audiobook on Libby and would be eager to read more from debut author Daria Lavelle. This captivating and haunting culinary masterpiece was *chef’s kiss!

i love how there's dragons and how there are people that can control them

Everyone knows Dog Man IS GREAT

This book has creepy details like a mad scientist who takes children's lives, but the art makes it a little playful as well. Has you wanting to read the second book!

I enjoyed this short novel-in-verse penned by Arriel Vinson, one of Reese’s LitUp fellows. There are beautiful, poetic moments especially as Jae skates. I enjoyed the bit of a love story and how this book felt like a coming-of-age/maturation moment. I listened to the audiobook on Spotify

Lucy Barton tells us all about her ex-husband’s life, including the collapse of William’s third marriage, the anxiety of having a father who was a Nazi POW, and his discovery that he has an older half sister in Maine. Of course readers also learn more about Lucy and her past and current relationships with William. Great beach-read for fans of Strout’s other books.

Loved it!!! Was desperately rooting for Delphie.

Really beautiful book with great recipes that I have tried--some successfully, some not.

I didn’t like my because each page was a different story

3.5 stars. I loved the setting! So charming and Solomon fully immerses the reader in the culture. In this second chance romance Dani collides with her former love Wouter (pronounced vow-ter) and they embark on a fake marriage. Despite years of no contact (he was previously an exchange student), sparks seemed to fly and they moved right in together as if no time had passed or as if they kept on knowing each other without interval lives. I liked Wouter but Dani seemed a bit all over the place. This was enjoyable but I felt the chemistry/romance was a bit lacking. I listened via audio on Libby.
