Funny for all ages without talking down to the kids or crossing a line to adult jokes that venture into the risque. It’s going to be a timeless series along the lines of Bone and Tintin (between which Hilo Book 5 sits on my library shelves). My granddaughter, her father, and I all can’t wait to see what happens with Hilo and the gang next.”

Unsheltered brings back the elegance and subtle-but-beautiful storytelling of Barbara Kingsolver—not that she ever left. But waiting for the next book from this incredible author can feel like a long absence.”

I’ve been a baker pretty much all of my life. I learned from the best: my grandmother, whom I playfully nicknamed “Baker Grandma.” Whenever she came to visit, she taught me how to make pies and cookies. She instilled the love of creating baked goods in me, which carries through to today. The pages detailing the bread baker’s pantry lend to all sorts of cooking — not just bread baking. So, even if you’re not into bread (GAH, shame on you!), read these pages. One of the best parts I found about this book was how to know if you’ve kneaded the dough enough. It’s a simple test that I tried for the first time in my life on the recipes I made from the book.”

I came away from Maeve in America feeling a much deeper respect for the sensitivity and insightfulness for a woman I had previously known “just” for her comedy.”

The Highest House is an unusual fantasy novel that deals with issues of emancipation, human worth, and the power of a currency in addition to the usual fantasy tropes of magic, feudalism, and monsters. There is great world-building; the art is exceptional, and the characters are engaging. Any fan of high fantasy in the realm of Robert Jordan, JRR Tolkien, or George RR Martin will find much to love here.”

The way Sattouf presents his childhood–which is an incredibly fascinating one, by the way–encourages the reader to look back at their own, but perhaps with less of the erroneous rosy tint we often give it.”
