Historical fiction, based on a real person, the first man of East Indian descent to come to North America as a boy and his life to an adult. A bit slow moving, and interesting, but didn't fully engage me.

The secret to happiness may involve tears. This story follows 3 women who meet and they all come to a pivotal point in their lives. Touching, emotional, maybe even a bit inspiring.

A little Harry-Potter-esque to start with the premise, but once you get past that, it was an hour read. Will keep an eye out for the sequel

SciFi with super powers of EOs (Extra-ordinaries) and a vigilante. Reminded me a lot about one or two of the short stories in "The Egg and other stories" by Andy Weir.
