I love the Jack Reacher series, and A Wanted Man did not disappoint. I read it over the weekend! Great characters, action, twists, and turns. Another fun, thrilling ride from Lee Child!

The Very Long, Very Strange Life Of Isaac Dahl
by Bart Yates
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I read this for a bookclub, and it was not for me. The story follows the life of Isaac Dahl. This book isn’t that long, but the titular character’s life is (as promised) very long. The problem is, I never cared about the characters. They felt stiff. This felt like more of a catalog of events over time. Everything felt like an observation rather than emotion and personality driving action. I appreciate the LGBTQ representation in the first person protagonist but never really got into this audiobook I borrowed via Libby.

Make Your Way Home
by CARRIE R. MOORE
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I listened to this audiobook of short stories on Libby after it popped on my radar as a July Indie Next pick. This is a collection of 11 tales set in the south that cover a lot of content: pregnancy, violence, sex and intimacy, church, hair, Blackness and more. Nearly all of the vignettes felt forgettable and most seemed unresolved in my opinion. The narration was solid but the stories didn’t captivate me. My hands-down favorite from the bunch was “How Does Your Garden Grow?” which is a memorable and unique depiction of fibroids.
