The family does piecework to make ends meet, and holds to their Buddhist faith. At the same time, Ly wants to fit in at school so badly.

Under the Sea: A World Like No Other by Seeker ~ an Audiobook Review

by Donna Huber


I haven't had as much time for reading so I've relied heavily on audiobooks to get my book fix since the start of the new year. I don't listen to many nonfiction books and I also dropped my nonfiction reading goal this year, but I have found myself missing my science reads (yes, I'm still reading science for work but it isn't the kind of science that made me study biology in the first place). So when Netgalley fixed the app so I could listen to audiobooks and I saw a science audiobook, I had to get it.

Talk Bookish to Me by Kate Bromley ~ a Review

by MK French


Kara Sullivan is a romance author and Bookstagrammer, but she hasn't written anything in her latest novel and her best friend is getting married. Her first love is in the wedding party, which is irritating but also inspires the steamy aspects of her novel. Her book needs a happily ever after, but maybe she could get a happily ever after of her own.
