Great Wrap-Up video Farrah. The Sound Of Music is actually a movie I really enjoyed as a child. Eve sounds very interesting but I do hate when authors add in their political views when it has nothing to do with the book. Unfortunately, Stephen King does this many times, particularly with his later works. Awesome that you had a five star read! 😀
@bookstalgic

Thanks Cliff! I know, I was ready to give Eve a 5 star rating, but it really changed the whole mood when she started mentioning political figures (mainly the Clintons and Trump). I would’ve preferred to stick with the biology, but this book has a ton of 5 star ratings so maybe it was just me! Interesting to hear that Stephen King does it too. Hope your reading is going well this month so far! :)

That’s so interesting because I don’t remember hearing about this book at all when I was younger. When the movie came out, it was vaguely familiar, but not really lol. I watched it with my kids and we weren’t super impressed, but I thought the book was better. It’s definitely middle-grade meant for middle-grade and I can see how it would have a heavy nostalgic feeling behind it if I’d read at a younger age. Heck yeah, if you already have a copy, maybe try it again some time, but only when you’re in the mood for middle-grade 😊.

@@bookstalgic the funny thing about her books is that they have characters that you see repeatedly but they’ve never been classified as a series! It’s really weird! But they should be read in this order. At least her more recent ones. Evening class, Tara road, scarlet feather, Quentin’s, nights of rain and stars, white thorn woods, heart and soul, and minding Frankie. I know characters don’t reappear in every book but I promise they will appear eventually and you will be very confused if you don’t read them in this publication order.
