Good Material
by Dolly Alderton

book cover


This was rough to read. I was excited to read it but then I struggled. This character was so whiney it became annoying at times. He just went on and on and on. I feel it just went on for so long. I did a lot of skimming for a large portion of the book. I will say I enjoyed the ending, it was good, but my goodness it took a looooong time to get to that point - which it did not need to. One review said read the last 40 pages as it’s all you need to know, that’s true. I also had a friend reading (audio book) this at the same time (random) and she felt the same way! We enjoyed our misery together :) If you read it, enjoy and maybe you will have a different perspective.

30 Things I Love About Myself
by Radhika Sanghani

book cover


While the book had the main character gaining great benefits from meditation, astrology readings, and yoga, none of which are my thing, the story included these things in a humorous way which made the book enjoyable. It’s the story of a year in the life of a 30 year old woman who, as the title suggests, finds 30 things she likes about herself. I really enjoyed the book.

Swan Song

Not one of my favorites of her. I thought there was too much info dumping about popular restaurants and stores in Nantucket and not enough focus on the plot. I did not like many of the characters in the story either especially Leslee and Bull.

This book was very interesting. It held my interest the whole time. I’d rate it higher if it hadn’t been predictable. That said, I’d recommend this book. I learned a lot.

Predictable, but a fun read. I didn't really love the way the point of view was done in the book, but I still enjoyed the characters.

The Wishing-Well Spell

This was the best book! I wanted to keep reading it and was sad it was over. My favorite part was probably when Daisys friend wished to be a grown up, at the wishing well, and she turned into a grown up but she learned she didn’t like being a grown up and she turned small again at the end of the book. She wanted to be a kid. Matilda - age 7

Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Brontë

book cover


Once I entered the world of Jane Eyre, I was hooked. I can see why there is longstanding appeal of this romantic novel by Charlotte Bronte. The story of an orphan who survived adversity and emerged heroically never gets old. The somewhat antiquated style of writing was charming and easy to follow. The addition of lines of French monologue in spots only added to the allure of this book. There were copious notes in the back of the book that explained expressions used or elements of history with which the reader may not have been familiar. Though its length of 500+ pages may have seemed daunting, the pages flew by, enveloped by the love story of Jane and Mr. Rochester. Highly recommend.

This book made me feel happy and sad

The Sour Grape
by Jory John and Pete Oswald

The Sour Grape was a book based on how you can be angry all the time or be thankful and considerate. It taught me that my actions effect other people and I should be kind. The Sour Grape is a very, very fun book to read and it has cool illustrations.
