Annie Barrows and Sophie Blackall did a wonderful job with the Ivy and Bean series and Stella and Marigold is nothing short of that. I love that each chapter told a different story!!!! I give it 5 stars!!!!

I read this all by myself

Very interesting and thoughtful book. Good for anyone with a negative habit, who is committed to change.

It was a really good volume but I didn’t like how Nagato, Konan, and Tamiko just immediately thought morays was great, like he was an enemy shinobi, why do you just immediately think he’s great

'Maybe in Another Life' was a compelling read but then held some aspects I disliked. I did fall in love with the characters, such as the main one, Hannah. I was glad to see how far she'd come in both lives. Her life story makes me feel a bit better. She changed from indecisive to quite decisive. Hannah transformed as a person and chose to follow a healing path. I was fond of how she learned to accept many things that came in her way. What I didn't like was how many times cinnamon rolls and high buns were mentioned. I also got bored of how tedious the story got. Oftentimes, it repeated what happened in that life to the other life. TJK incorporated lots of wisdom within Hannah, which I found nice. Overall, I'm satisfied the story ended happily, but it just wasn't one of my best reads.

Everyone should read it. I really liked how Skye got a chance to be OAP (oldest available Penderwick) and how Roslind had a break

Delightful read. The messages and themes present in this book are so applicable to today's political and social climate.

While the identity of the killer in this murder mystery didn’t surprise me, I enjoyed this cast of characters and would go back earlier in the series. (This was gifted to me, so I started rather in the middle of things.) I loved hanging out in Victorian London and was sufficiently pulled along with both main and side plots to cruise through the book at a relaxed pace. Made for a nice way to unwind after the day.

Already left a review for this week when I posted my previous time. I still feel the same about the book-good read but not one of my favorite books by this author.

Set in the mid-1990s, this novel felt both of its time period and timely for today: then, the early popularilty of the Internet, and today's similar feeling around AI. Jane grew up in an isolated, off-the-grid cabin in Montana with her father. She knows little of the outside world, just that her mother died in a car crash and they used to live in the California Bay Area. But as she gets older she wants to know more, and she starts to question her dad's teachings and ever-more-disturbing actions. Technology vs. nature; isolation vs. society; innocence vs. knowledge — this book is suspenseful, poignant, and a great read.
