Kids loved reading it

Found at the vacation house that we rented in 2025 June. I read the June chapter for the Summer Reading Challenge short story or essay square. What a great writer! He really captures nature and is so engaging. Makes me want to stand in a forest quietly and take it all in. Beautiful! Wish I could take the book home.

Historical fiction that brings you into the hardship endured by women in Vietnam during and the long aftermath. I couldn't put it down - it was exciting, heartfelt, sad, and even made me angry. What more could you ask for in a good book!

The Honey Bus is a heartwarming memoir that is a testament the unconditional love of a grandparent. Meredith’s grandfather is a bee keeper and his lessons about bees taught lots of value insights into life.

A funny story that plays out like a Hallmark movie.
