• Wool

  Hugh Howey ★★★★☆ 4/5 July 21, 2026

  I wish I had read the books before watching the show. Oh well, the book was good all by itself, is definitely recommend it to anybody who enjoys the show.

• Here for a Good Time

  Kim Spencer ★★★★☆ 4/5 July 11, 2026

  I like the way this book was written. Small, quick glimpses into daily life, not long overblown chapters that meander here and there. It was a nice break from some of the other books I've been reading lately.

• The Ending Writes Itself

  Evelyn Clarke ★★★★☆ 4/5 July 5, 2026

  I quite enjoyed this book I’ve read all of V.E. Schwab’s books and so this one was next in line. I was wary of it being a two-author venture, and a murder mystery one, but it was good all the way through.

• Class Clown

  Dave Barry ★★★★☆ 4/5 June 26, 2026

  Nice and funny!

• On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness

  Andrew Peterson ★★★★☆ 4/5 June 19, 2026

  Enjoyed reading this for bedtimes!

• Rock Paper Incisors

  Amy Timberlake ★★★★☆ 4/5 June 17, 2026

  A good third book! The illustrations are great and go wonderfully with the story.

• The House at the Edge of Magic

  Amy Sparkes ★★★★☆ 4/5 June 16, 2026

  This was a nice quick read given to me to by my kiddo.

• Living the Quaker Way

  Philip Gulley ★★★★☆ 4/5 June 10, 2026

  Informative and helpful!

• The Kaiju Preservation Society

  John Scalzi ★★★★☆ 4/5 June 10, 2026

  I enjoyed this book, it was a good, fun, and quick read.

• Mr. Spaceship

  Philip K. Dick ★★★★☆ 4/5 May 31, 2026

  Not bad. Read like an older sci-fi book. Dry short read.

• Platform Decay (The Murderbot Diaries, #8)

  Martha Wells ★★★★☆ 4/5 May 28, 2026

  Another great Murderbot book!

• Becoming

  Michelle Obama ★★★★★ 5/5 May 26, 2026

  I actually listened to the audiobook for this (I know, Dogeared doesn't support audiobooks yet). As I loved listening to Barack Obama's book, this was also good. Much of the same story, but from a very different perspective.

• Compost This Book

  Cassandra Marketos ★★★☆☆ 3/5 May 24, 2026

  This is a great book! It has great information in it and will help you get beyond the obstacles that are holding you back from composting. I wish it went a little more in-depth, but I will definitely use the knowledge from this book in my own composting adventure!
