The New Perimenopause
Mary Claire Haver
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wish more women knew this information.

The New Perimenopause is full of excellent, practical information about what is actually happening in women’s bodies during perimenopause—and why so many of the changes we experience can’t simply be chalked up to “getting older.”

Mary Claire Haver covers everything from metabolism, weight distribution, bone health, and sleep to hormones, sexual health, stress, and the often-overlooked ways these changes can affect our relationships and sense of self. I especially appreciated the repeated reminder that many of these changes are biological shifts, not personal failures or evidence that we simply aren’t eating well enough, exercising enough, sleeping correctly, or trying hard enough.

Most importantly, this isn’t just anecdotal advice. Haver does an excellent job of grounding her recommendations in research, explaining the science in an accessible way, and offering practical information women can actually take into conversations with their healthcare providers.

There is so much about perimenopause that women simply haven’t been taught to expect or understand. This book made me think again and again, Why don’t we know this?

I saw Book Riot’s list of 50 of the best middle grade books of the century and, naturally, our TBR got a little longer. 📚😂

There were quite a few books on the list that we’ve already read, but these are a handful that caught my attention and are now on our list for future reads:

📚 The Mysterious Benedict Society — Trenton Lee Stewart
🏀 The Crossover — Kwame Alexander
📖 Hi**er Youth: Growing Up in Hi**er’s Shadow — Susan Campbell Bartoletti
✍️ Brown Girl Dreaming — Jacqueline Woodson
🧚 Artemis Fowl — Eoin Colfer
🪶 Ancestor Approved: Intertribal Stories for Kids — Cynthia Leitich Smith
⛑️ All Thirteen: The Incredible Cave Rescue of the Thai Boys’ Soccer Team — Christina Soontornvat
💧 A Long Walk to Water — Linda Sue Park

One of my favorite things about this stage of reading is how much variety there is in middle grade—fantasy and adventure, historical fiction, memoir, novels in verse, and some really fantastic narrative nonfiction.

I’m always looking ahead for books we might want to read together, listen to on audio, work into homeschool, or just leave on the shelf for Gresham to discover on his own.

Have you read any of these? Which one should move to the top of our list?

I’ve Got Questions
Erin Hicks Moon
⭐⭐⭐⭐

What I appreciated most about I’ve Got Questions was its reminder that questions don’t have to be a threat to faith. We’re allowed to wrestle. We’re allowed to admit when something doesn’t make sense. We’re allowed to bring our doubts, frustrations, and even anger to God rather than feeling like good Christians are supposed to have everything figured out.

There was so much here that made me stop and underline—especially the distinction between Jesus and the institutions and culture that have grown up around Christianity. I loved the reminder that critiquing the church doesn’t necessarily mean abandoning it; sometimes it means wanting it to better reflect what it claims to believe. Again and again, the book comes back to Jesus: following him, loving God, loving people, and being willing to hold some of our own certainty a little more loosely.

Overall, this gave me a lot to think about—and a lot to underline. I wouldn’t say it’s a book just for someone experiencing a crisis of faith. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to think more deeply about what they believe, why they believe it, and what it might look like to bring their questions to God instead of being afraid of them.

One of my favorite questions from the book sums it up beautifully: What if loving God and loving people is the work of our lives, and we filter everything in our faith through that?

Favorite books of the year so far (Summer 2026)

Favorite books of the year so far:
The Correspondent and This Book Made Me Think of You are at the very top of my list. I’ve had quite a few five-star reads this year, but those are the two that have really stayed with me.

First 5-star read of the year:
Caraval by Stephanie Garber. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It was my first five-star read of 2026 and such a fun way to start the year.

Most surprising read so far:
84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff. I didn’t expect such a short, quiet little book made up of letters to charm me as much as it did. I listened to it on audio and absolutely loved it.

Least favorite / biggest disappointment:
Wild Dark Shore. The writing was vivid, but it was much darker and more disturbing than I expected. I eventually started skimming and ultimately considered it a DNF.

Next on my TBR:
The Three Graces of Pearl Street by Elizabeth Wellington Rollins. It’s her debut novel, and I got an early copy through Book of the Month, so I’m excited to read it before its official release.

Most anticipated fall releases:
The Three Graces of Pearl Street by Elizabeth Wellington Rollins and A Time of Witches by Madeline Martin. Technically I already have Three Graces thanks to BOTM, which feels a little like cheating. 😂

My reading vibe for 2026:
Eclectic, mood-led, and increasingly willing to DNF. 😂 I’ve bounced between literary fiction, romance, fantasy, classics, thoughtful nonfiction, book-club selections, and audiobooks with Gresham. I’m realizing that the books I love most tend to have memorable characters, meaningful relationships, a strong sense of place, and something that stays with me after I’ve closed the book. I want books that make me feel something—or make me think—and preferably both.

Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest
Suzanne Simard
⭐⭐⭐⭐½

I picked up Finding the Mother Tree while visiting Muir Woods National Monument (pictured) and have spent the last month or so slowly making my way through it, reading the physical book while also listening to the audiobook.

This is categorized as a science book, and it certainly is. Suzanne Simard explores the remarkable networks within forests—the relationships between trees and fungi, the ways trees communicate and share resources, and how interconnected a forest really is. So much of the science was eye-opening and fascinating when you think about what is happening beneath and around us when we walk through the woods.

But this is also very much a memoir. Simard weaves her scientific discoveries together with her own life—her work, relationships, family, loss, and the experiences that shaped both her and her research.

Early in the book, she explains that this isn’t a book about how we can save the trees, but about how the trees might save us. The further I read, the more I understood what she meant.

Because ultimately, I don’t think this is only a book about trees. It’s about relationships and connection. It’s about resilience, legacy, discovering what really matters, and then choosing to protect it. The relationships between the trees, fungi, and the forest begin to feel like a reflection of our own human relationships and our need for one another.

This Book Made Me Think of You
Libby Page

Possibly my favorite book of the year. ❤️

Tilly lost her husband six months ago when she gets an unexpected call from their local bookshop: there’s a gift waiting for her from him.

He left her twelve books, each with a handwritten letter—one to open every month for the next year.

This is a story about grief and love, but also about rediscovering yourself when the life you thought you were going to have is suddenly gone. I loved the emotions Libby Page captured, the settings, the people Tilly meets along the way, and especially the way books and reading are woven throughout the story—not only as an escape, but as an inspiration for how we live our own lives.

There were so many moments that made me stop. So many lines I highlighted.

This also ended up being a double buddy read for me—I read it alongside two of my dear friends at different times—and that somehow made a book about the way stories connect us even more meaningful. I’m so grateful I got to experience this one with each of them. ❤️

I honestly don’t think I can do this book justice in a review.

Just read it. ❤️📚

The Someday Garden
Ashley Poston
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ashley Poston has become an auto-buy author for me. The Seven Year Slip is one of my very favorite books, and The Someday Garden was every bit as magical.

The Secret Garden is also one of my all-time favorite books, and while this isn’t a retelling, you can absolutely feel its inspiration throughout the story. I love the particular kind of magic Ashley Poston brings to her books—the way she takes very real, sometimes painful parts of life and weaves just enough whimsy and impossibility around them to make you see them differently.

This book tackles deep grief, friendship, love, and what it means to become unstuck. I especially loved the idea of being both emotionally and physically stuck, and how those two things play off each other as the story unfolds.

There’s a beautiful love story here, but there is also so much more. It’s about grief and healing, friendship and growth, and finding a way forward when part of you has remained rooted in the past.

The Romance Revival
Christina Lauren
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I absolutely devoured this book.

The story follows a brilliant scientist and doctor who uses her experimental (never tested on humans) drug to save her husband’s life. But when he wakes up with no memory of their relationship, she’s given a second chance to make him fall in love with her all over again.

There was so much happening in this book that I found it nearly impossible to put down. Christina Lauren balances humor, emotion, romance, and big ethical questions in a way that kept me turning pages.

What I loved most was the idea at the heart of the story: the opportunity to rebuild a relationship and choose each other again. It made for a romance that felt both fresh and deeply heartfelt.

And I can’t write this review without mentioning the next-door neighbor, who completely stole every scene she was in. She was absolutely hilarious. Oh and I loved the Southern California setting. 🌅

The Enchanted Greenhouse
Sarah Beth Durst
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Enchanted Greenhouse is the kind of cozy fantasy that wraps around you like a warm blanket. With a cast of lovable characters, whimsical magic, and a story rooted in hope and community, it’s a world I wasn’t ready to leave.

One of my favorite things about the book was its reminder that community can be transformative. The characters aren’t perfect, but they show up for one another, and watching those friendships develop was just as rewarding as the magical elements of the story.

Sarah Beth Durst also has a gift for writing quiet moments that linger. More than once I found myself stopping to underline a passage, including this one:

“I’m hurt when I shouldn’t be.”
“If you’re hurt, you’re hurt. It doesn’t matter if anyone else think you don’t have a good enough reason. Pain doesn’t require approval.”

It’s one of those books that leaves you feeling a little lighter and a little more hopeful after you’ve turned the last page.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too sensitive,” this quote is for you. It certainly spoke to me. 💚
