It was ok but not the best by Rebecca Serle. I loved One Italian Summer. The characters were a bit jammed together

Had promise but wound up being a very silly plot. I felt like the story got more and more ridiculous as it went.
Happy Land

book cover


Interesting multigenerational historical fiction inspired by a community of the formerly-enslaved, situated in the mountains of Western NC/SC. Nikki (a DC real estate agent) goes to visit her grandmother, Mother Rita, hoping to ease the estrangement between mother and daughter. But instead Rita tells her a story of the land—how her great-great-great grandmother Luella was the queen of a kingdom on the very land Rita is fighting to keep. Touching and interesting, it's a tale of perseverance and hope.

Was my summer reading book and I had low expectations going in but I actually enjoyed it! It’s a very dramatic play about the Salem witch trials so it’s fun to see references to actual historical things. It’s also very strong and thematic. The author intended it to compare to the red scare going on at the time of the book, but I think it can be related to really any point in time. Some parts are iffy, but honestly I got hooked by the end!

Started strong and I like the plot. The ending fizzled for me. Good twist but no real resolution and I sorry of feel like the narrator would have been more traumatized…. Some odd plot holes

I would recommend this book because it is based on a true story about two dogs.

Finished! This book was so cute. Pieces felt a little unrealistic, but I am very happy suspend my disbelief for the sake of cuteness and joy.
Guts

This was such a thoughtful, perceptive, sensitive book, and the drawing style is lovely and accessible. I do wish it had left the reader with a little bit more of a concrete roadmap of how to stay brave and navigate moments of anxiety or experiences of fears and phobias, though I do recognize that that roadmap is always so individual that presenting a specific one here wouldn't necessarily be feasible or meaningful. This is likely to be enjoyed by any deeply feeling, slightly quirky person who is on the journey to navigating the uncertainties and anxieties of life.

I think that I was way too excited to read this and that my expectations were too high. I liked the choose your own concept but I didn’t like Marsh at all.

This book was not what I was expecting but I did enjoy reading it.I liked how the viewpoint shifted from past and present and how it has time stamps at the top of the past chapters. I really loved Henry in the book too. I think I like this more than his previous books.
