I'm always impressed by people's ability to put it all out there - great experiences, challenging experiences, painful experiences - all of it. Good on Mara Wilson for owning her story and being a model for being who you are.

This was an excellent book, and I love post - apocalyptic books, but it was extra disturbing reading about a post-pandemic-apocalyptic world, during a pandemic (though clearly not as significant a pandemic as the one in the book) damn it gets you thinking.

Fun mystery novel with a touch of romance. Easy read and exactly what I needed.

The audiobook is beautifully narrated and gives the book life. A powerful (and sometimes difficult) story if a young girl in Nigeria, fighting to find her own path.

Free audiobook, you get what you pay for. It plays more like a scripted radio show than a book. Cheesy, only 6 hours.

Reminded me of "Water for Elephants" but with slightly magical twists.

Excellent YA futuristic dystopian novel, reminds me of the Hunger Games but different. I liked it and am looking forward to more books in the series

Based in historical fact but made into a fictional story - one of my favorite kinds of historical fiction. A story of rural Kentucky, and a woman who delivers books to her fellow Hill-people of Kentucky. I did a double-take at first when the main character referred to her skin color as blue - it's based on a family who had a rare blood condition that turned their skin blue due.

An Historical fiction mystery that I couldn't put down - the perfect way to end 2020. This one takes place on Bainbridge Island, outside of Seattle. I've never been, but could picture it based on all the time I've spent on Whidbey Island.

Tracing the lives of a young woman and her first love and the many lives around them that impact and pull at their world. Written with bold words that let you picture all of the world around her as she grows up in Iran.
