READING RECOMMENDATIONS

This is a funny and moving story of quirky 17 year-old Lenni, who is in the terminal ward of a hospital. She there meets up with 83 year-old Margot. I loved the stories they shared with each other, and the friendship they form is beautiful. Together they are 100 years, and without giving away too much more about the plot I will say it is one of my favorite reads in some time. Unforgettable.

It seems everyone but me has read The Midnight Library. This was my first Matt Haig book. Just like the title sounds it provides some comfort during a period of tough times. It’s a fairly short book with a lot of wisdom and incorporates concepts from many different sources like history, science, and Matt’s own experiences.

Barbara O’Connor sure knows how to write a great middle grade chapter book. You will meet many endearing and relatable characters from the town of Harmony, Georgia. Eleven year old Walter is struggling to make friends while dealing with a great loss. Posey is his new feisty next door neighbor with a scrappy 3-legged dog. Together, in the woods behind their houses, they come across Banjo. He is a man that fell from the sky and has a perpetual positive outlook on life. A hot air balloon race is what brings them all together, but love and acceptance is what keeps them together. Halfway to Harmony is a sweet and subtle book about adventure, friendship, and healing.
