Review: The First Day of Spring

The First Day of Spring The First Day of Spring by Nancy Tucker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a heartbreaking tearjerker and I loved it. I felt for Chrissie and the other children, none of who deserved what happened to them. I even cared about Chrissie's Mam, who was not a sympathetic character.

I read an advanced copy from Edelweiss.

A touching story about Eva, a young woman who is separated from her family during World War II and has to rely on friends and on herself.

Review: Project Hail Mary

Project Hail Mary Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved the "Martian" didn't love "Artemis" so it was nice to read another by Weir that I really enjoyed. It's based in space like the other two, but is completely different.
