I learned a lot

It was SUPER funny! I liked how Humphrey helped his class.

The heartwarming story of a girl who finds her place, while navigating friendship and sisterhood. I cried after every sentence.

Very captivating it made me want to read more. It was very exciting

FANTASTIC read! I sobbed like a baby in almost every chapter! I will 100/10 recommend this book to everyone!!! Bit of romance, spicy time, HUGE plot twist!

Bethlehem Library Book Club ( a library program) met on 7/10/23 in the community room. The discussion was led by volunteer Rebecca Hathaway for this July meeting. Each person brought a book or books that they would recommend to others. I discussed Yellowface, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek (by Kim Michele Richardson), and Little Monsters (by Adrienne Brodeur). Individual participation was excellent and lively discussions ensued from the many books presented.

succinct, but dry, report of films based on books, and why you should make time for the books, focuses on quantity rather than quality; barely dipping into each entry before quickly moving on. serviceable...

I liked all the dinosaurs

I found it very haunting and beautiful . Inspired me to live with integrity . But it was a little derivative and definitely too short ! More of a novella when it needed about 200 more pages !

I wanted to love this book as science and faith and their intersections are where I "live". But this book plunged into the world of addiction so heavily, that I felt like I needed an Al-Anon meeting while reading it. I don't say that lightly because I highly appreciate 12-step recovery groups. I thought this leaned heavily into the coming-of-age issues of how to disengage from mentally ill parents and restrictive churches. Because it was a look-backwards POV, I thought Gifty, being a Stanford student, would be intelligent enough to seek out other places of worship and come to terms with (while not approve of) the cultural issues in churches. To condemn God because of a few people seems.....unwise and unfair. Do we want God to smite every bad action or actor? Wouldn't that include each one of us? This is the inherent tension in Christianity. How do we continue to love? The attempt for Gifty to discover the answers to depression and addiction seems laudable but naive. How many millions of people have hoped to do just that? Maybe working with God and maybe through 12-step groups could move the needle? Nonetheless,I learned a lot about Ghana, the daily pain of immigration, and the bigotry endemic in AL.
