Frog and toad are super silly friends that try to be good friends

Heartbreaking, heartwarming, funny, sad, charming, poignant—this book hits many emotions. Fredrik Backman knows people, and his characters are multi-dimensional, complex, and charming. The book is a story within a story, as the retelling of one remarkable summer for four teenage friends is shared during a train ride. Chance encounters, special connections, and the power of good friendship, especially during teenage years. Highly recommend.

I loved the author's previous book, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, so I was excited to read this one. That one blended a strain of fantasy into the present world, and this one did too. I don't want to give anything away, but it's the interconnected story of three women—Sabine, Charlotte, and Alice—over a period ranging from the 1500s to present day, in Europe and Boston. It was interesting and entertaining, but not as good as Addie LaRue, for me.

I like Chase, Ryder, and and the Paw Patrol. I like reading this book with my mommy because it has so many stories. My favorite is Adventures with Grandpa. If you like Paw Patrol, you will like it too!

Another typical Gabriel Allon book. This one was very long though. There is a lot of information about the Temple Mount and history that makes you wonder how much is true.

This was one of my favorite books of this year so far. I really enjoyed reading about the trial and Lovely’s family history. I haven’t read the second book in this series but I really want to now.

Interesting points on various elements of work. Fascinating bits on various coaches and players by the author.

I was proud of myself because I’m trying to read this book all by myself!

BSD is one of my favorite series and every volume I read builds so much for the plot, characters, and relationships. The new settings brought to ex-guild and ex-port mafia members was one of the highlights.

The story kept me engaged and kept me guessing. I’d recommend this book for someone who enjoys psychological thrillers.
