I thought this was going to be more horror ghosts. But totally took a different turn. I really enjoyed the book. It was a good book for being the authors first novel. Looking forward to more works from this author.

Read this for the family bookclub. I really thought this would be more about the dictionary but it was really a coming of age story. My mom really liked it. I thought it was a low pick.

I picked this one for our family bookclub this month. The title novella was my favorite. But I enjoyed most of the other stories as well. As with every short story collection you always have some that you do not like as well as others. This sparked some really good discussions with my Mom and Brother. I will most likely read her other book.

TheBookHippie I enjoyed this one. 6mo

While I still have one more to go in the series, it is pretty safe to say this is my favorite story in the series. I was not sure at first but as I read on I fell in love with it.

I wanted to wait until some of the hype died down on this book. I am glad I did so I could go in not remembering much of what was said. This was a great book!

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this it was an easy fast read. Not sure if the antics will be something I would want to read again and again. The comparisons to Stephanie Plum I totally agree with.

Saw this over on Instagram and pretty sure I do not agree with any of these selections. What do you all think?

wanderinglynn Totally disagree that these are the “best” book covers. Unique, yes. But not the best. 9mo
wanderinglynn Plus isn‘t “best” super subjective? 9mo
TheKidUpstairs Only the bottom right one really catches my eye and interests me. The others are a bit meh to my eye, and wouldn't inspire me to pick them up. I guess everyone has their own tastes! 9mo

Extremely interesting book. 6 out of 12 children with mental health disorders. The book focuses a lot on the family and the study of schizophrenia. I would have liked a bit more about the parents and their backgrounds.

Not sure what I think about this. Anyone else read this and what did you think?

SamAnne I absolutely loved his novel.Exit West. But agree, this one left me flat. Not well executed, story not fleshed out. I couldn‘t get invested in it. 10mo

I had no idea what this about going just that the cover was cool and it was shelved under horror. I really enjoyed this story. Not really scary horror but maybe cause it deals with some supernatural elements maybe.

I was really looking forward to this one. But maybe my hoes were too high and that made me not like it as well. I really wanted it to be all about all the stuff in our bodies. But there was too much about other things.

I just discovered Ali‘s comedy last weekend and I knew I had to listen to this book. It is a memoir written as a letter to her daughters. If you like her comedy you will enjoy the book.
