a wonderful memoir about Tara Westover’s life, from her childhood all the way through her college education. A great reminder of what it means to have an education, and serves as an inspiration to me to continue pursuing education.

THE BEST BOOK for creatives!! I love this book so much, it gave me a lot of cool new ideas and perspectives.

ROMANCE
I’m not really a romance kinda gal, but this book had me HOOKED holy cow. It was a good book (also my very first romance book as a young adult), and I think it’s a good intro to romance. Because this is a romance book, reader discretion advised.
Twisted Love - Huang, Ana: Books
LOVE THIS ONE! It’s a perfect tandem read with Lauren Robert’s other book “Powerful” (which will be linked as well). This series is wonderful, and I loved the character development and writing of this one.
Powerless (The Powerless Trilogy, #1) by Lauren Roberts
This one is a PERFECT tandem read with Lauren Robert’s first book, “Powerless” (which is also linked). Such a good side story with side characters who deserved their own book.
