This book is a sequel to Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley.

I really wanted to love this book! It came onto my radar because I follow the author’s nycbookgirl instagram for bookish content. The idea of a love story in an art museum with magical realism sounded like such an amazing premise, and the lovely cover sets a nice tone. The book got off to a solid start but fragments into multiple disparate plot twists (one of which involved the pandemic, which took the book out of the present for me). I also felt like the emotional declarations between the two main characters felt too big and instalove for my taste. Still, someday when I come across Matisse’s The Music Lesson, I will immediately think of this book and all that it strove to achieve. I listened to the dual narration audiobook on Libby.

An intriguing, surprisingly engaging biography of a little-known president. This book shows Calvin Coolidge in all of his understated, but by no means insignificant, glory. Reading this book is the only time I’ve ever laughed out loud while reading a biography—a ringing endorsement indeed!

We enjoyed this trip to India with Jack and Annie. It was interesting to learn about endangered species like tigers and rhinoceroses.

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

This book brings Jack and Annie to Australia. They obtain the final gift they need to help the dog Teddy and finish their four-part quest. We learned about kangaroos and there was a scary wildfire.

It was amazing and so much fun.every page made me smile and want to read more ??

An amazing book, full of risks and the enemy, who is supposedly always ahead. Ogres, Elves, Trolls, and more, with the human world included, this is a great book that you should totally read! It is also a thicker book, with about 730 pages.

“Kinda weird.”

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