Picky
by Helen Zoe Veit
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I found the historical aspects of this book (e.g., what kids routinely ate in the mid 19th century) fascinating, and I enjoyed the epilogue for its tips on how to support modern kids in healthier eating habits (just wish there were a bit more of this prescriptive/"how-to" element).

Lovable characters that make this book so hard to put down. I did not want to stop reading. I love the formatting of the book, with the combination of AI voices, achievements, and interviews.
The Disappearance Of Astrid Bricard

book cover


Set in the fashion world, primarily in the 1970s but also present day and early 1940s. This is historical fiction but definitely a blend of history and fiction, as the author details at the end. The main characters are fictional but real people abound. Beyond an entertaining story and a mystery, the book is a commentary on how people are portrayed in the media, how their stories and history in general can be shaped by the offhand comments when people don't look further. Good book.

I’m a big fan of William Kent Krueger. I’ve read all of his books. This was his best book yet. The story contains tough subject matter but it’s told in a beautiful way. The story keeps you guessing and invested in the characters’ lives.
The Big Door Prize

As a scientist, how could I not want to read a book about a booth owned by a company called DNAMix that uses a cheek swab and DNA to tell you what your ideal job/potential should be? This book has become an Apple TV plus series, and it contains a series of dramatic stories in a small town in Louisiana that have been somewhat changed by the readouts from the booth. The main stories follow Doug and Cherylee Hubbard as well as Jacob and Hank Richieu. The endings were not surprising except for the booth being a scam by one of the characters. I am on the fence on whether I liked the book, but I am intrigued with the author's style of writing enough to want to read his bestseller, My Sunshine Away.
Architects of an American Landscape

Finally finished this after a few weeks of reading! Nonfiction always takes me longer. But this was a fascinating look into two of the most influential men for new England’s architecture (landscape and general). There’s a whole chapter on Easton, which prompted my family to go on a walking tour of Richardson’s buildings in Easton- including the library (my personal fav), where I discovered this challenge! We discovered the historical society in richardsons railroad as well :)
The fallen angel

Another typical Gabriel Allon book. This one was very long though. There is a lot of information about the Temple Mount and history that makes you wonder how much is true.
The Girl From The Sea

Really good and cute short read! This is a teen romance story mixed in with mythology. The characters are realistic and relatable and the ending is satisfying, even if it wasn’t what I had hoped. Overall would definitely recommend!
Allies

Alan Gratz does it again! Told through a web of perspectives that ultimately intertwine by the end of the book. A personal look into the different events/actions/people that contributed to the success of D-Day.

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.
