items My taste in books is similar to my taste in music, total vibes! I don't stick to one genre or author, I'm likely to roll my eyes if I see a celebrity “book club” sticker on the cover, and I am fully influenced by a pretty cover - LOL. So if you're op...
The anxiety I had about her outfits throughout this ENTIRE book had me hooked! Great read, 4/5 stars.
The Wedding People by Alison Espach
Even if you've seen the movie, this book is worth the read. As expected, tons more detail in the book. This one kept coming up in random conversations long after I'd finished it. 5/5 stars!
Project Hail Mary, Andy Weir
I followed the trial, I knew the story, and yet this book (english translation) was still VERY hard to get through. It's heavy. Raw in many places, almost unfinished in others. Approach with caution. 5/5 stars!
A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides
You've seen a dozen different versions of this movie. But somehow the book version is much more entertaining. 4/5 stars!
What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty
Priya Parker (and her husband Anand G for that matter) is an exceptional human, and this is an exceptional work. Must read, 5/5 stars!
The Art of Gathering: How We Meet & Why
The gasps I gasped multiple times throughout this book! The tv series was beautiful, I fully enjoyed it. But don't skip reading this one, it's such a ride - 5/5 stars!
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
I went through all the emotions with Patch. I wanted to shake him and hug him, sometimes on the same page. Wild ride, 5/5 stars!
All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker
A long hard look at a system made for us to fail, and the time and pain it takes to keep your head above water. 4/5 stars!
The Many Lives of Mama Love: A Memoir
I almost skipped this one cuz the topic felt heavy and a bit too real. But I was totally influenced, bought it, then couldn't put it down. A little anxiety-inducing for sure, but great read start to finish. 4/5 stars!
The Best of Friends by Lucinda Berry
This is one of those books I wish I could read again for the first time. It's a great one to own in hardcover or paperback, but if ebooks are easier, go for it. In whatever format, just read this one! 5/5 stars
James by Percival Everett
Let's ignore the celebrity book club stickers & lists all over this book now, and just READ IT. You cannot walk away from this book without somehow relating to both of these main characters and deeply recognizing something in every femail charact...
