Spooky Lakes: 25 Strange and Mysterious Lakes that Dot Our Planet | Geo Rutherford

pick

This book is SO COOL! I am so glad Geo Rutherford already had published videos on many of these lakes because I need more information on all of them asap! The illustrations are lovely and the descriptions and history spark an informational deep dive every time.

Impossible Creatures | Katherine Rundell

pick

Impossible Creatures, by Katherine Rundell (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: A boy gets pulled into a magical world just in time to collaborate to save it from a horrible threat.

Review: For me, this was well done but a bit of a struggle as an adult reader. The premise was very “fantasy 101”, and there were so many twists and turns that it was hard for me to keep up with the plot. ⬇️

Mattsbookaday That said, I think this speed would play better for a younger audience. It was well done and had some really interesting food for thought, but it was a wee bit of a miss for me. 3d

Across So Many Seas | Ruth Behar

pick

This book won both a Newbery Honor and was a Sydney Taylor Book Award Honor, which is how it got on our book club‘s radar. We all learned some new-to-us history and appreciated the scope of the book. It moves through several generations of a family, taking place in four different countries and with four different protagonists. Lots to take in!

This was my April #BookSpin pick.
