Code Name Hélène
by Ariel Lawhon

book cover


This book by the author of The Frozen River did not disappoint. A novel based on the true exploits of the "White Mouse" in Vichy Government France of WWII, the book alternates between 1939 and the end of the war. Many of the hard-to-believe events actually occurred, as the woman who wore red lipstick managed to lead an army of resistance fighters, secure supplies, and perform truly death-defying acts in order to thwart the Nazis who occupied France from 1940-1944. Unforgettable!

The beginning of this book was a little slow for me with the technical component. TJR does a great job with completely new subject matter for all of her books but it took me a second to adapt to space plus so many characters. The last 40% was purely amazing. I was crying at the gym literally

I thought the part with the pill and the cake was really funny.

The Rise And Fall Of D. O. D. O.
by Neal Stephenson

book cover


Highly imaginative romp through a multiverse that some characters seek to capitalize on financially, others militarily, and some for the restoration of magic eclipsed by technology. The story is told through various characters, riffing on different vernaculars in comic ways, including a surfeit of acronyms and inflated business speak, which deserve the comic treatment. The plot gets a bit long and byzantine, but the imagination propelling the story and the funny dialogue are charming. Terrific entertainment overall.

This was a great manga. The main character, Yuta Okkotsu experiences a new school of sorcery and fights intense battles. The book is very well written and deserves more hype. The movie is great as well.

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!

I liked how it showed how people lived a long time ago in the old days. I didn't like the pictures as much as some other books.

I liked this one. I had read Throne of the Fallen before starting this series and I really enjoyed it so I figured why not go back and try this one,

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