I love her. This is an overview of hey life so far, mainly concentrating on her childhood and pre-White House existence. In my dreams we get all the gossip, but I think this straddles the line well between glimpses of life and keeping her privacy. It's not really a critical look at her husband's work, but there are plenty of those. It made me admire her tightrope walking of being First Lady even more.

Sadly, I do not really remember Louisiana from Raymie Nightingale, but one doesn't necessarily need that in order to enjoy this book. It is funny and sad all at once, and I cried a little at the end. I hope it makes the MSBA list.

A book about an open and affirming church where lots of different people go. Very simple text. Love the illustrations.

The art wasn't my favorite, and I feel like I don't have a good idea of what anyone's powers are, except one. I do think it will work better for me as a TV series, which is why I read it in the first place.

I loved this biography. I had no idea that a woman might have made a film before Georges Melies. I think this is a must have for most libraries.

So cute! I loved this one so much. A prince looks for his true love and finds it finding a dragon. Mom and Dad are accepting when it is a knight and not a princess. Love this art style.

I actually found the plot of this one generally easier to follow than the first. Still looking forward to the Netflix show.

I enjoyed this book, although not as much as her previous series.

Eugenie Clark is definitely an admirable woman. This is a good start for kids who are curious about how to become a scientist who studies animals.

I really liked this one. It made me smile: the glittery cover, the way Sophie is an expert but never sees the real unicorn, how she has made everyone else into a unicorn. I'm not sure there really needed to be a point to it, it's just cute!
