Here are the new books I read in February 2020, in the order I read them: They Both Die at the End (Silvera) This book was so good and I immediately begged people I knew to read it, so that I could discuss it.

January 2020 Reading Roundup
Book Love This was a fun little graphic book about things that book lovers do, have, and think. I could totally relate and it was great as a little sorbet between other things. Full Steam Ahead I actually really like this author and lots of her things appear for free on Kindle Unlimited. The female … Continue reading January 2020 Reading Roundup
My Top 13 for 2019
Since I finished 135 books in 2019, I decided to review my top 10%. I confess that I did review a few books, which I didn't fully complete. This always leaves me torn because I do not list them on my "read" list for a given year. Thus, a book that I haven't finished reading … Continue reading My Top 13 for 2019
New Review: Americanized
Title: Americanized: Rebel Without a Green Card Author: Sara Saedi Format: E-book through library/Libby This is a very relevant book for our time and it feels like it was written because of that.

This is NOT a cohesive and chronological memoir, but a collection of bio-essays on Branum's thoughts, experiences, strengths. I will be going back through the … Continue reading New Review: My Life as a Goddess
Commentary: The Last Black Unicorn
The Last Black Unicorn by Tiffany Haddish was the last book I finished in 2019. I am explicitly saying "finished" instead of "read" because I listened to the audio version of the book through Audible.com (not getting anything for that promo). While listening to Ms. Haddish read her book, I had an epiphany. There is … Continue reading Commentary: The Last Black Unicorn
Audiobooks for Kids
My present life involves a lot of driving. Most of that driving involves my children in the car. Since they are 9 and 5, we usually listen to things in the car. I tend to choose words over music, for some reason, and we have a significant list of podcasts (mine and theirs). My children … Continue reading Audiobooks for Kids
New Review: The Butterfly Effect
My weekend was filled with porn. I spent 3.5 hours of my weekend on porn. I spent 3.5 hours of my weekend listening to an audiobook about the variety of impacts that free, streaming porn has had on American and Canadian societies. Jon Ronson (Them, The Men Who Stare At Goats, This American Life) has compiled a … Continue reading New Review: The Butterfly Effect
