Jessica says: Okay, I didn't actually *like* this book, but I will certainly never forget it! Readers beware: this book will take you to dark places and drown you in climate change dread.
Ashlee says: When the ends don't justify the means in the battle of good versus evil, you find yourself rooting for the villainous henchwoman bent on bringing down the superheroes!
Bonnie says:
Heather says: This is an intimate look at the clothing and accessories that Jane Austen may have worn throughout her life based on her letters to her sister Cassandra. Every 1-3 pages is about a different garment, so it's a very browsable book and fun to pick up and read about one or two things at a time. Recommended for anyone who wants to know more about Jane Austen as a person or is interested in historical fashion!
Maria says: Maybe Next Time was heart wrenching and I wasn't able to put it down. 5 stars!
Stephanie says: So much to learn! This book takes you through not just a single summer in world history, but also sets the stage for more well-known later events, such as the Great Depression.
Jill says: The Reformatory is a page turning historical fiction and ghost story blend set in Jim Crow Florida. The characters are richly developed and the story covers themes of racism and family bonds. I found the personal inspiration the author drew on to create the characters and write the story fascinating.
Meg says: It was special to me because the characters felt so true to life and I related to the ways they loved one another.
Ashlee says: Parenting a teen girl doesn't have to be dreaded or contentious! If you can listen to the audiobook, do it, because Damour's voice soothes and encourages you like great advice from a favorite aunt or a big sister.
Renee says: Surprising, suspenseful, and riveting. This book is for anyone who likes a spell-binding, and dramatic true story! The author also has other amazing titles, such as Killers of the Flower Moon and The Lost City of Z. I highly recommend this book and their other works!
Maria says: What the River Knows enraptured me in a historical fantastical fiction world full of intrigue and mystery. I rated it 5 stars, which I never give!
