I haven’t read sci fi in a very long time and this definitely makes me want to continue!

Couldn't stop reading!!

Based on separate suggestions from two trusted reader friends, I decided to venture outside my normal mystery/thriller genre and give Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale a try. It was a wise decision. Although it is a long book (17.5 hours in audio, expertly read by Polly Stone), I finished it quickly because it was so interesting and so well written. Vianne Mauriac and Isabelle Rossignol are sisters, very different in both age and personality, trying to survive in war-torn Nazi occupied France. Politics, culture, religion, weather, family, friendships and the disruption of normal life all factor into a captivating story. Not a spoiler — Rossignol is French for Nightingale, which becomes significant in the long run.

A wonderful overview of how information traveled in the wake of the French Revolution and throughout the Haitian Revolution. As a librarian, it is a fascinating perspective to focus on this movement of information and the agency of enslaved and oppressed people. A clear vision of the continued resistance of enslaved people and its internationalist character.

It was very creative and mythical.

Great book!!!

I love Pete the Cat books. He likes to eat bananas but not lemons. Lemons are not sweet. I do not like lemons either.

The Activist is the fourth book in John Grisham’s seven-book Theodore Boone series. Theo is the son of two lawyers, and strives to follow in their footsteps. Theo is the captain of his 8th grade debate team and a patrol leader in his Boy Scout troop. In addition, he gets quite involved in the controversial battle between the government and the local landowners regarding the proposed bypass around his town, which would subject his friends to the eminent domain loss of their long-held property. One of the most interesting aspects of the series in audio is listening to John-boy Walton (Richard Thomas) tell the stories perfectly, designed to engage the targeted middle school audience. I find the entertaining and educational nature of Theo’s adventures a refreshing break from the R-rated content of my favored mysteries and thrillers.

This book kept me turning pages late into the night. Miles wrote a beautiful historical fiction book about racial history in America.
