book cover


As a hearing person, I learned so so much about the Deaf/ASL community, culture, life, languages and more from this book. I truly recommend this book to everyone out there. It’s funny, the characters are great but at the same time there’s just so much to learn and so much I didn’t realize before. Come for the learning; Stay for the plot and characters. So great!

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.

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”

Dream State
by Eric Puchner

book cover


A wedding, a group of college friends, a romance, a heartbreak, and choices that reverberate through generations. Also an ode to the state of Montana—and heartbreak for the impacts of a warming climate. (Not in a preachy way, but in a day-to-day impactful change kind of way: the lake when the characters were kids, vs. the lake now.) The pace was a little slow but I was engaged in the outcome of the characters.

book cover


I read this book as an adult, in preparation for giving it to our nephew at Christmastime. I wanted to make sure that the book would be well-suited to him, and also was eager to refresh and deepen my own basic chess skills. I found the writing to be clear and approachable. The sections and chapters of the book are thoughtfully structured and well organized. Illustrative examples and opportunities for practice and application of concepts and skills are interspersed throughout the book in a timely and helpful manner. The author provides a list of resources for further learning and practice as well. I highly recommend this book as a great starting point or refresher for children and adults who wish to play chess!
