“An incredible story with an audiobook reader that was perfect! I would highly recommend listening!” — Arielle Goellner
“I chose this book from a list of “books to make you cry” and it did! It is funny, heartwarming and just a good book.” — Beckie Mervine
“I loved it and can’t wait to read the second one. Nice mix of adult content, but still good for middle to late teens.” — Chelsea Darling
“Very educational! I am a big advocate of “hidden heroes” and this biography highlights the lives of twelve! It also incorporates quite a bit of factual and political information. I would recommend this book for those fascinated by US and world politics.” — Deb Engelke
“A non-fiction recounting of his trek across America with his dog named Charley in a truck fitted with a camper. It was interesting, funny, concerning, and great.” — Rachel Arnold
“I read the second book first and now things make sense. I loved the book.” — Stephanie O’Brien
“Loved this book! Best book boyfriend ever is in it. A summer read must.” — Jennalyn Ehlers
“This started sluggishly then became more interesting. However, the extended and graphic blow-by-blow description of horrific torture under inhumae conditions almost made me close the book and return it unread. I stuck with it and it came to an exciting and satisfactory ending. Not for the faint of heart or someone with a weak stomach.” — Helen Hester-Ossa
“Awesome story! I couldn’t put it down!” — Kristine Bushey
“I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.” — Lorraine Burke
“This book was an interesting retelling of Mulan. I loved how fantasy elements were intertwined, really raising the stakes of the story. I enjoyed the overall theme of female rage and defiance within an incredibly patriarchal society. My main critique was how contradictory the main character often was, though it did add to the fantasy since she basically has the devil on her shoulder.” — Maddy Eron-Freeman
“Two women with magical powers, Margaret, born 150 years earlier, and Augusta, are genetically related. While I thought the characters were undeveloped, I found the book still interesting. Augusta was fascinated by the ghost of Harlowe House where she was newly employed. August believed Margaret wanted her story told. A weird and interesting book.” — Margie Paura
“This book was excellent. The characters were very believable and entertaining. Bessie, the 14-year-old narrator, comes to life amid her various struggles with her strong personal set of values and beliefs. She makes you want to become a better person!” — Mary Comerford
“Love the art style! Great world building and relationships between the characters. Powerful depictions of anxiety, but managing to take important actions anyway.” — Nicole Dibble
“A beautifully written but unsettling story involving a young American woman in Shanghai. Haigh is a psychologically insightful writer who leaves me thinking about her characters long after I finish. While not her most accomplished effort, I thoroughly enjoyed listening after I read the book.” — Mary Ann Donahue
“I read this historical fiction in two days. It is the story of a real mid-wife at the end of the 1700s. A crime, a murder and the daily struggles of life as a woman are told through the voice of Martha Ballard. The spiderweb of connected relationships compels you to read further! Wonderfully done. I wish there were more novels with Martha in them. I will read the non-fiction book of her life next!” — Tracey Reynolds
