Women Talking
This book tells an important story and I was interested in learning more as it progressed. While I’ve read books that were written better I think that the simplicity of the story and writing is likely a more accurate representation of this true ev...

The Bluest Eye
I think we all need to read this book. It hits on many tough topics, but I think everybody can relate to hardships, othering, and skewed views of beauty. While some of the situations and stories seemed exaggerated or more on the extreme end, I thi...

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
This book surpassed my expectations. It was a short, easy read and the sketches within it made it feel more like a journal. I liked Juniors transparency about his life on the rez and leaving it for a better education.

Book Lovers
More realistic version of a romance novel. I liked that the main character was a career driven women torn between love and everything else she’s prioritized in the past. I felt the characters were relatable and showed growth. While the book touche...

The School for Good Mothers

The Testaments
I felt like I was reading an entirely different author than the handmaids tale at the start of this book. At first I liked the handmaids tale better but the last 100 or so pages got me hooked. By the end I was invested in the women and anxiously w...

One True Loves
I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was beautifully written and I liked how it started out with Emma in school and showed her growth as an adult. I would recommend this book however, it is quite similar to the plot of castaway, but from the w...

The Power of Now
Not sure how to feel about this one. I don’t think I’m in the place to fully appreciate the power of now. This may be one I have to reread in the future.

The Handmaids Tale
I found the subject matter quite interesting. This alternate reality is sadly something that could actually happen overnight. I enjoyed the short chapters and that I wanted to learn more about Offred’s life despite there not being much of a climax...
