A trilogy of short stories involving Robert Mitchum a rejected Navy Seal. Most of the action involves Mitchum and his part time job of unofficial private investigator in his upstate N Y home area and is family. They were so so but they went f.ast

Great Jack Reacher book filled with fast paced action and suspense

It talked about history of the doughnuts and the evolution of it too. Doughnuts were not always ring shaped, they were like a ball then turned ring shaped.

This book is amazing. I like the funny parts in this book, they really crack me up! I also like how the character's feelings change during the story.

I liked this book because it is very adventurous and the author made me feel like I am in this book itself. The reason I only put 4 stars was because sometimes I didn’t really understand some parts and had to reread it over and over again.

I enjoyed this story of boy who is the sole surviver of a tragic plane crash. He loses his family and must find his place in the world.

The book was pretty good. I read all about chocolate. But did you know that there is a tree in the world that can be 40 feet! It is called a cacao tree!

During this time of our own real life pandemic, I have been fascinated with reading books that delve into the mechanics of viruses, and more importantly, society's reaction to dealing with them. This book is a work of fiction, but was a very interesting approach to life after a pandemic. Unlike most books and movies on this subject, the story line of Soft Apocalypse isn't fast paced and full of action. Rather, it is the telling of a slow decline in health, economy, and morals, in the wake of a global virus outbreak and over the span of ten years. It is akin the fable about a frog who is put into a boiling pot of water and jumps out, but the same frog who is in a pot of water that slowly comes to a boil stays in without realizing the conditions are changing until it is too late. From the beginning to the end, you follow a group of friends as they navigate their way in an ever-changing, and ever-crumbling world. As depressing as this sounds (and believe me, there are a few graphically intense scenes) this book often has moments of hope. I recommend it with 4 out of 5 stars to anyone who likes apocalyptic science fiction. I was glad I read it.

How apples grow

This book is a story inside a story inside a story. It is the kind of book you want to take your time with, savoring every turn of phrase. I listened to this on audio from Overdrive/Libby and the production, with multiple narrators, was beyond amazing. If you liked Erin Morgenstern's book "The Night Circus", you will love this as it has the same magical feel. I highly recommend this ode to stories, readers, and the art of storytelling.
