Ramona Quimby, Age 8

Ramona Quimby, Age 8 by Beverly Cleary
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another great choice for family audiobooks.

Isla and the Happily Ever After

Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Definitely not my favorite of hers. But it was a fun and fast read.

Big Little Lies

Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A tougher read than What Alice Forgot. I love her writing style and her humor, but I did see the ending coming a mile away. It's a book I've thought a lot about since I finished it, and I think it will stick with me.

The Penderwicks in Spring

The Penderwicks in Spring by Jeanne Birdsall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Utterly delightful. We love taking The Penderwicks with us on family road trips.

Lost Lake

Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Not my favorite of hers, but still a cute story.

The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon

The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon by Alexander McCall Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Listened to the audiobook and loved every minute.

The House at Pooh Corner

The House at Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So fantastic. Everyone should read these.

Winnie-the-Pooh

Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So funny. Great for all ages. Way better than Disney. Loved learning more about the Milne family when we studied this in our literature unit this year.

Calling Me Home

Calling Me Home by Julie Kibler
My rating: 3.75 of 5 stars

I switched between the audiobook and Kindle. I thought the readers were great. I liked the format of going back and forth between the 1930s and present day. Heartbreaking story, but also kind of predictable.

Doomsday Book

Doomsday Book by Connie Willis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fantastic. I switched between audio and paper and both were great. This one will stay with me.
