In five years was a fast, fabulous, five star read. Any book that makes you appreciate life, friends, and found family is a great book in my opinion. I also enjoyed the book because it was it wasn’t one dimensional. It made me laugh and cry!

It was a different type of a book. I listened to it rather than reading it. I am not sure I like Cara. She doesn’t seem to self reflect about how she treated her son and what she did to him like as mothering him too much and throwing an iron at him. She doesn’t seem to really look at her own weaknesses.

Wow. This book was amazing. Loki is my favorite Marvel character and the artists and writers did him well. The series covers topics of identity, being yourself, and one’s place in the universe. Some really deep stuff. I love the casual representation in the series of different identities and I love that they stayed true to Loki’s fluid nature. The ending is a bit filled of unknowns, but I’m sure that’s the way Loki likes it. Overall great book! I don’t usually read graphic novels but I’m glad I read this one.

I liked Puff the Magic Dragon and thought it was very funny that even that little boy got too old. Puff got sad at the end when the boy left him.

Entertaining love story that's more than just fluff. A great beach read, but also a look at former child stars, perception vs reality, and real love vs Insta-love.

The Way I Used To Be was heartbreaking. The plot, characters, and what eventually happens broke me. The main character, Eden was once a spirited young girl until Kevin, her brother's best friend really r her. This is a story that should be shared throughout. The message is clearly worthy. For Eden, that pushed down trauma only hurt her more. She runs away from herself and all she's ever known - her family, friends, home. Her high schools years abruptly shift, until it's too unbearable. It frustrated me because of her silence. She never told anyone. I know that this book taught me a lot.

This book was absolutely amazing. It didn’t even feel like I was reading anything, it felt like I was living it. When I got to the acknowledgements I almost had an anxiety attack because I suddenly got snapped back into reality. I was super sad when it ended. Definitely recommend

Frog and Toad get so confused. It is very funny

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 adored this book! The protagonist's "voice" comes through so strongly and distinctively in the first-person narration, and I love the contemporary take on the more traditional epistolary genre. The story is well paced and makes for quite a page-turner. I appreciate the inclusion of supportive educators. The subject matter also remains extremely timely and pertinent in the context of current sociopolitical events. I highly recommend it - and would love to know whether Rachel Maddow herself has read it!
