Mothers in the Pandemic
They say that our lives will never be the same. The Earth, I imagine, is sighing with relief. The emissions benchmarks we’ve met in just a month would have taken 15 years otherwise. How great is that? And not just for Mother Earth. I too am exalted at all the hours saved by not racing […]

| I quite enjoyed this book, in the same way as I thought Atonement had been a good book. It is one of those stories that haunts you long past its reading, because we can feel for the protagonist and their choices, even if we don’t entirely agree with ...more | |

| Meh. Not much more to say. I had stayed away from the Midnight Library due to mixed reviews and the subject matter, but this one had come recommended by a friend. So against my better judgment I gave this one a try, but my first instinct proved corre ...more | |

| Not knowing upfront exactly what it was going to be about turned out to be the perfect approach to reading this book, as there is a rather surprising reveal about 1/3 or halfway through. I liked how it made me truly think about these characters and w ...more | |

| Another great contemporary single mom/love story by Jojo Moyes, which I think she does best (I don’t like her historical fiction that much). Loved the characters, loved the mishaps/misunderstandings, loved the clues the reader gets about how/when it ...more | |

| I have yet to read a Beatriz Williams novel I don’t love, and this one gets another 5-star rating. I was thrilled to see she’d written a new one. And to then find out she’s created another great female character (two, really) AND placed it in a Cold ...more | |

| It was a very entertaining and relatable story with impressive insight into both the male and female perspectives in a relationship. There were some surprising reveals late in the story that I didn’t see coming and that rounded out the narrative very ...more | |

| Another 5-star Erik Larson. Much has been written about the Civil War, and at first I was a bit wary of more. However, the very specific timeframe of the months leading up to the shelling of Fort Sumter gives great insight into the mindset of America ...more | |

Bruce Katz's review
of
The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War:
"Larson begins his new book by saying, “I was well into my research on the saga of Fort Sumter and the advent of the American Civil War when the events of January 6, 2021, took place.” This is, to my recollection, the only time he refers explicitly to"

| I will never tire of Liane Moriarty’s storytelling (especially when narrated by Caroline Lee). Her characters are so relatable. She weaves everyday thoughts that we have all contemplated into their stories. I laughed out loud several times, and found ...more | |

| This was a wonderful book. I’d say it’s my favorite book of the year, except it was also my first. I loved Phoebe. Such a great combination of insecure and thoughtful and ultimately courageous that made me relate to her in so many ways. I loved Gary, ...more | |
