| Although I occasionally run across a British poet, most of those I read are from the U.S., and some from Asia. It was a surprise to sit down and enjoy this Michael Longley book published in 2024 and also sad to learn he died in January 2025. I’m glad ...more | |

| My favorite thing about this book was the title. Very fun. I should maybe give it 3.5 stars, since I enjoyed the ending more than most of the book. I couldn’t see it as comical as the publishers promised. My second favorite thing was the book’s endin ...more | |

| Two of my favorite novels read this year had a lot in common for protagonists facing trials. The black servant girl in this book, arriving in colonial Virginia, about the time of the establishment of Jamestown, has lost the people who were expected t ...more | |

| I can't resist good WWII novels, despite splashing tears on the pages. Both my parents served in WWII and talked very little about it. After their deaths and my move across the country (early 80s), I began devouring WWII books to learn more about my ...more | |

| This book was published by Scholastic, and, as often happens with YA novels, the teens seem to take emotional control of the book. I still enjoy an occasional sci fi book, but my teens to mid-thirties were when I most often savored wi fi, wild action ...more | |

I couldn't decide what rating I'd give, so I hope fellow readers will decide for themselves. My main reason not to give it 5 stars was that the author dragged out the story line too long. I’ve lived with cats most of my life, have two at the moment, s ...more |

Thanks for recommending Henri Cole's new book, Alarie -- I've put it on my to-read list!
Jan wrote: "Thanks so much for the add, Alarie!"I was actually surprised you weren't already in my contacts, Jan. I wanted to let you know I voted for your poem in the contest. Love it! But I think I said so in IHOP. I don't usually like to say so there for fear there's another member in the grouping that I didn't notice.
We have some pretty good overlap in reading tastes, so I'm sure I'll get some ideas from you.
