This book was okay, it was about Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official who fought for rights for everyone.

A very short, very heavy novel. It confronts colossally abstract issues in a concrete, stream-of-consciousness prose form that is equal parts introspection and a call to compassion for others' life experiences.

This book was good, it was about the Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, what they did and discovered throughout the years.

Good, light reading that leaves you with a warm heart and happy feelings. The books take place in North Dakota. People in each book are discussed in other books; best to read in order but still good if read out of order. Another fine selection from Lauraine Snelling.

Reading a novel about a pandemic in the middle of a pandemic might seem reckless, but Tremblay's book is a compelling read, and the two main characters, Ramola and Natalie, have a long-term relationship that drives the book. And then there's Natalie's baby, for she is very pregnant when she contacts her doctor friend, Rams, and the protection of the baby becomes a prime focus of a scary book.

This book was okay, it was about the seven wonders of the ancient world, they included the Great Pyramid at Giza, The hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes, and more.

This was recommended to me rather enthusiastically by some of my students back in January, and while I read it slowly alongside a few other books, the weight of it settled on me as I considered how big global events change everything, even (or perhaps especially?) the day-to-day operation of schools. The global event in this novel is World War II, but the flashback-style narrative is about how a young man comes to understand the circumstances of major events of his youth. It was terrific, and I book I'll remember reading for sure.

This book was good, it was about many of the missions to space and what happened in them.

Alex sneaks out of her house 1 night and heads to a party with her friend. Her friend had already started drinking and at the party the cops show up. They jump in the car to outrun the cops and crash. Alex's friend dies that night. After rehab, Alex is off to camp where she meets Grant. Grant and Alex instantly connect and start having feelings for each other!

The book was weird at the beginning but got better as it went on and ended great.
