I've missed Calamitous Bob (it's been a whole month since I read Book #5). Still fully obsessed with Arthur and Solfis. Newly obsessed with Abe. Still anxious over Sidjin. Newly anxious over Rakan.

Interesting and personal insight but I found the actual poetry/prose lacking. The chapter with all rhyming poems felt really out of place

Wonderful book with beautiful illustrations. My kids and I found it a great introduction to Lincoln's early life as well as a very enjoyable read.

It was such a good book!??

This is an excellent start to a new series by Tana French. The two main characters: mysterious teenager Trey Reddy and retired, emotionally scared Cal Hooper are especially appealing. At first Cal doesn't know what to make of Trey. He isn't even certain if she is male or female. She dresses in androgenous clothes and reveals nothing about her life. All he knows is Trey is persistent. Once she learns he was a detective, she is determined to enlist Cal's help in finding her beloved older brother, one of the few people in Trey's life who has shown her kindness. The novel shows the insularity of rural Irish life where villagers close ranks even when something very bad has occurred. This is a wonderful mystery which slowly develops the friendship and trust between Trey, whose home life is blighted by a mother who can barely cope and an absent, ner'do-well father. The ending and the reasons for the "murder" are beyond tragic. The prose is poetic and fitting for the lyricism of the Irish countryside.

Good Book

A heartbreaking and haunting story of abuse, coverups, and the lifetime effects on the survivors.

Because of all the grossness

Teaches practical and necessary responsibility in preparation for getting a dog!

Great book about women, self confidence, self worth, and friendship and finding what really matters
