Phenomenal. I wholeheartedly recommend Invisible Women to everyone because the gap in data should be more known, especially women.

This book covers the effects of the gender-based data gap in Daily Life, the Workplace, Product Design, Medicine, Public Life and Disasters. And while having phone too big for the average woman's hand is annoying, it becomes dangerous when some drugs do not work for women because it has only been tested on men in the trials, or when no safety dummies for women exist in car safety testing.

I just think this is information that is important to be known and I am glad this book exists.

I really enjoyed the Kyoshi novels! For those interested, I really view The Rise of Kyoshi as her origin story, whereas The Shadow of Kyoshi dives into the consequences of that origin story. As a fan of consequences, I, of course, enjoyed the sequel. I really admire F.C. Yee is willing to go to some places, especially when writing a prequel. Now if you excuse me, I am going to rewatch all the episodes that mention Kyoshi!

3.5 stars

This book has such an interesting concept and I liked most of the execution. However, I would have liked to fall in love with both Katherine and Matthew a little more.

I learnt about the Central Park 5 case during my Master's in Legal Psychology. So a book by Ibi Zoboi and Yusef Salaam, one of the then boys who was falsely accused and convicted for a crime he did not commit. The audiobook really did justice to this story that is told in verse. The power of art and the hope it gives Amal comes through it.

I love looking at concept art of animated stories that I love so it was nice to look through and read the extra snippets of information.
