A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides by Gisèle Pelicot My rating: 4 of 5 stars I knew this would be a hard book to read. Not sure why I decided to read it. Maybe because I think it's important we don't look the other way. Maybe it's all a part of shame changing sides. View all my reviews

Into the Blue by Emma Brodie My rating: 3 of 5 stars I loved this story but it was too long. It could have been half as long as still beautiful and impactful. I feel like it went on long enough that it lost some of its magic. View all my reviews

Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke My rating: 1 of 5 stars I just finished this book and I am so mad. I want all my time back. I kept thinking I should put it down and I am so mad I did not. I found the main character super annoying and over the top, I found the "twist" so dumb. Ugh ugh ugh. View all my reviews

The Fountain by Casey Scieszka My rating: 3 of 5 stars 3.5 stars fast, interesting read exploring immortality, family, belonging, science, wealth. what would it mean to live if you never died or if your injuries healed right away? What sounds like a gift at first may not be so at a deeper look. Also what would be your obligations to the community if you were one of the few people who was immortal while others are not? interesting to think about. View all my reviews
