Junie B., First Grader (at Last!)

I think June B is the funniest group of books. She is hilarious.

Posey, the Class Pest
by Holly Anna

book cover


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

I didn’t like this one as much, but I was proud to read it with just some help

At first I thought this book was very silly but once I got about 1/2 way through it got better. I started to like Vera more and see her transform and develop.

I thought that I would like the plot more than I did. I am not a huge fan of regency era romance but I do like to read it once in a while. This was not it for me.

Daniel Silva’s book is as usual an interesting spy book. Gabriel Allon is an interesting character.

Maybe In Another Life
by Taylor Jenkins Reid

book cover


'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.

The Hyde Park Headsman

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.

Under the Stars
by Beatriz Williams

book cover


A blend of the modern day and the historical. Set on (fictional) Winthrop Island, the book flips back and forth between the present day lives of Audrey, her actress mother, and her bartender father, and a November night in 1846, when the steamship Atlantic gets caught in a storm, suffers a catastrophic disaster, and sinks in Long Island Sound. This book does have some characters from other books of Williams', but can be read as a stand-alone as well. Great summer vacation read: engaging story + historical substance.

The Rembrandt Affair
by Daniel Silva

book cover


Daniel Silva never fails to amaze me in his creativity of plots. Gabriel Allon once again manages to save the world. Silvas books each offer a different but similar plot. Rembrandts affair is no different. It is a page turner and it doesn’t fail to please. I hope they start to make a tv or movie series of this character and his exploits.
