This is a memoir told through the books the author has read, all recorded in her Book of Books, aka Bob. My life has not been much like hers, and aside from children's books we've read almost none of the same things, but I could relate to her love of books and reading. And it was interesting to read about all of her experiences that were so different from my own.

Thank you to NetGalley and Henry Holt and Company for an e-Arc of this title in exchange for an honest review. I'm a reader, and goodness...I wish I'd thought to do something like this. BOB is the author's "Book of Books," that she's read. I thought this would be a listing of books and how they made her feel, but I loved that she wrote essays that tied the books and her life together. It was witty, touching and again...I WISH I'd done this when I was young!
