| This is technically a middle-grade novel, but I HIGHLY recommend it for all ages. The protagonist is 12-13 (thus, MG), but this is all about the very real dangers facing the east coast of the U.S. as German subs were roving along our coast during WWI ...more | |

| Found this in a Little Free Library and felt like I'd struck gold. I did. Her ability to capture emotion so eloquently is enthralling. Particularly loved "Once Loved." Highly recommend this ... and Little Free Libraries. ...more | |

| I had one major quibble with this, so I'll mention it first, because otherwise this was WONDERFUL. Keir is viciously attacked by a thug with a knife, cut so badly that he needed stitches ... and within minutes after getting stitches, the h/h decide t ...more | |

| Malú is 12 years old and forced to move to Chicago with her mom, who has a 2-year job offer there. Tough times. She's a great characters, and she's surrounded by great characters. A fun book that captures the young side of the punk scene, forming you ...more | |

| Loved this. Magic and utterly normal high school hassles, all mixed together with some legit drama. Libby is a fantastic heroine, and her cohorts Wolf and Raven are the perfect complement. One chapter near the end nearly made my heart stop ... but wh ...more | |

My very first Heyer! I rarely have time to reread books, but I've read this twice. December 2022: Laughed at my "I've read this twice" comment above. I've now read it at least half a dozen times. Still my favorite Heyer. Brilliant. May 2026: I think th ...more |

| I love the James Bond books (and movies). Great action and adventure, although the books sometimes get a bit verbose in describing things, a la Dan Brown. But the books are rife with racist caricatures and sexism, which makes them not stand the test ...more | |

| I confess it took a little while to get into this book, just as it took Mason (from 2023) a while to accept that he was exchanging letters with Talia (from 1987), and it took both kids a while to bring the other up to date on their backstory. The sec ...more | |

I love Jane Austen with the fire of a thousand suns. I saw a reference to Tom Lefroy and was intrigued. In short, I am the absolute target audience for this. It is one of the slowest reads in the history of slow reads. It didn't feel like Jane Austen. ...more |

| This is not a perfect book, but it's a WONDERFUL book. The pacing is incredibly slow, but I loved being in Mary Bennet's world so much that I figured it meant I just got to spend more time with her. It's broken into four parts. Part 1 is a rehash of ...more | |
