This was… not a good book. Sure, it was written, but the characters lacked any depth or development, the choices made were faulty at best, and there was just no payoff or suspense at the end. I laughed a few times, and I liked some of the reality TV aspects, but this needed a lot of work.

informative medium-paced

A great book of maps! Heavy focus on NYC and large European cities. Lot a whole lot of correlation between the fact that they look cool, but would make any map lover happy to read!
informative medium-paced

I wouldn’t normally pick up a president’s biography but I was interested since this one was written by a woman! Pretty informative and easily accessible learn some tidbits, but I won’t use much of this information lol.

emotional inspiring

A great way to start off the 2023 reading year! The author does a gorgeous job of weaving and personal memoir, with anecdotes about the life and music of Dolly Parton!

Some amazing insight in this little book. I got halfway through it and decided to return my library copy and get my own copy to make notes in! Will be revisiting when I need that motivation.

Daaaaang. This one really snuck up on me! Highly engaging, I loved how this was an essay collection, but managed to flow so seamlessly. Never read nature writing like this!

Loved the diversity of sexuality and relationships! Grandmas were the best characters. Main character was insufferable at times. Pacing all over the place. Fun read on Christmas week!

Oh, this was PERFECT to read on a snowy day. Ookie spookie and mysterious. Although some characters did not realistically react to certain scenarios. Somebodies
arm legit gets ripped off
and does not NEARLY have an appropriate reaction. Overall, great thriller!
