Mentally stimulating poems. I wish there was an audiobook version read by the author. I loved his self narrated book something in the woods loves you. My favorite poem from this collection was “orcas”

I liked Puff the Magic Dragon and thought it was very funny that even that little boy got too old. Puff got sad at the end when the boy left him.

The author harkens back to the time where actors and actresses were king and queen and movies were all the rage right before the horrors of World War II. This book, which I hope is the first in a cozy series, takes place during the filming of Hitchcock's famous movie Rebecca. The plot revolves around a young Hollywood script supervisor, Evelyn Galloway, who finds herself embroiled in a mystery surrounding the murder of an actor from the studio she is working at. With the help of her room mate and others actors, she finds herself in an adventure that evokes the time and place of the early 1940's. I had seen Rebecca a few times previously and now after reading this "behind the scenes" (albeit fictional portrayal of Hitchcock and the main actors), I want to see it again. The mystery has a great ending and Evelyn then accept a job working on another Hitchcock movie, The Foreign Correspondent, so I hope that means there will be a followup. Likeable characters and very interesting plot. I found myself googling various people and events in the story to gain more insight. A fun read overall!

This is a good one. My son can easily fill in the blank while reading this because it is repetitive.

I liked this one more than the first book in the series. I like Jane and Jimmy’s alternate chapters. The ending was open ended and I think there will be another book in this series which I am looking forward to reading.

Jennifer Weiner's latest book that does not take place on the Outer Cape but in Philadelphia and New York in August of 2023. The main character of the book is Abby Stern who is a "larger" person that struggles with criticism from her Mother as well as society. Abby is also an avid biker who ends up leading a 14-day bike trip on the Empire State Trail from NYC to Niagra Falls. Among the fifteen riders on the trip is Sebastian whom Abby had a one-night-stand with two years earlier. The rest of the book centers around Abby, Sebastian, and Abby's current boyfriend, Mark. I enjoyed the book as well as the different stories of the characters on the bike trip.

I really enjoyed the plot in this book, it was unique. I liked Eileen and Anders and how they both love reading. I haven’t read too many books where the main characters love to read so I really enjoyed this one.

Interesting back and forth with the different time periods. I would look for this author's other offerings.

I liked this book. It was really funny. I would recommend this book to other kids. I can’t wait to read more books

I loved this book. It was like a walk down memory lane as he describes the roles he did and his journey through Hollywood.
