A recommendation from my teenage daughter and I absolutely loved it. This is a YA queer novel with a bit of romance, modern pop society and the modern space race. Read this book. The audiobook is done with a full cast and really well done.

Time travel, historical fiction, mystery and a bit of romance. Looking forward to the other books in this series.

One of those books that grips you immediately and holds on til the end. Fast paced modern mystery. Loved it.

This is the 2nd biography I've read about Elizeberh Smith. She's an incredibly interesting woman who did absolutely amazing things. I think I enjoyed the other book a bit better:"the Woman who smashed codes" as it got into the details of how she did cryptography and broke codes.

Both a sequel and a standalone novel, as the title explains, this book follows the daughter of the Book woman of Troublesome Creek. A story of feminism and bigotry and strength and support.

I think this book delivered what I expected, a James Patterson adventure with some Dolly Parton country music flair. I love that Ms Parton also wrote songs to accompany the novel. Quite the collaboration.

Beautifully written with vivid images. This is a story of independence and choice and strength and gossip and healing.

This was my mom's favorite book. This is a memoir of a large animal vet in the English country side in the late 1930s. The stories are engaging, and memorable

I'm always impressed by a memoir author's ability to be so honest, open, reflective and articulate. I will also fully admit to being a fan of Wil Wheaton. I loved watching him in Star Trek TNG and loved following his blog in the early 2000s. So this reflection back to those times in his life and my own experience as growing up as a nerd made this an engaging audiobook.
