PHILOSOPHY

This one was a philosophical book I tried to read and I ended up loving it. I thought it was a perfect description of apathy and absurdism, and it was one of those books that made me think about it for a while afterwards.

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.

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.

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.
