My fav book!!

I live it because you can get a different point of view

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).

This is a very great book with suspense, drama, and overall the book that is very good. Thank you for making this an OBOB book

not as good as the first book, but still very interesting. the book had an even slower rate, but still hooked me in. The book goes more into the history behind the first book, as well as exlaining more of what came after. would reccomend. worse than Wool(book 1) because it goes a lot into ethics, and can be a little challenging to read.

It was a really good read.

(4 year old’s review) I like everything in this book. It’s about Little Blue Truck and I love him. And it’s about spring. Toad gets to drive Little Blue Truck and I don’t. They get to meet a lot of friends.

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!

I gobbled up this book in a day! This fun romance is just the type of escapist chick lit I crave. The man is stern, handsome and ridiculously wealthy. The woman is a maid in the service industry who has her head on straight. The two share banter, physical chemistry and a believable emotional connection. Author Lynn Painter does such a great job with this genre. The audiobook narration was great!

Teen Colby is still recovering from the death of her mother and struggles to cope with long absences from her long haul trucker dad. When Colby is dumped by her secret summer girl friend, it’s almost too much for her to bear. Over the next few months her grades slip and Colby lashes out at her friends and supporters. When a three-legged dog arrives in her life, Colby has companionship and new responsibilities. Lots of drama and turmoil, but mostly happy endings all around.
