A solid 2nd book in the Mistborn series. Picks up right where book 1 leaves off and hits the ground running. Curious to see where the series goes next. 

Insightful view into the Beastie Boys. It's a series of essays written by Ad-Rockland Mike D (written after the death of Yauch, the 3rd member of the Beastie Boys). An amazing set of celebrity narrators. 

Racy SciFi romance, NSFW. 

This story follows the life of an upper-class woman in 16th century China from the time she was a girl to and older woman. It's a fascinating glimpse into that society and family. I gained perspectives I hadn't considered before. 

Ghost story, mysterious old building and a thriller. A gazillion twists and turns at the end. Requires some suspension of disbelief, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. 

Powerful, thought-provoking, and relevant even 40 years after our was first published. An important collection of essays for every person to read

A high school coming out story with all the drama that is senior year with breakups and fights and friends and getting ready to go away for college. 

Ruth Reichl has an amazing way with words. Her ability to make you taste what you're reading is uncanny. Her honesty and reflection in this book is something I strive to be able to do. There are important leadership lessons in here too. 

Saw that this was on Peacock (Chinese adaptation) and Netflix (English adaptation) and I wanted to read the book first. It's very intricate and geeky (which I enjoy), you definitely need to pay attention. Very creative story. I'm curious to see what happens in the sequel. 

I truly enjoyed this novel. This take on the "fake dating" trope was fun and refreshing, I connected with the characters and loved getting to know each of them. A sequel within this world would be interesting.
