A Bookshop in Berlin
Françoise Frenkel
Overall an emotional, moving story about her escape and the kindness of those that helped her!
Uncanny Valley: A Memoir
Anna Wiener
Wiener had some interesting critiques but I wish she would’ve delved deeper, especially about the issues of privacy violations and sexism in tech.
Between the World and Me
Ta-Nehisi Coates
It’s a difficult read due to the subject matter but a necessary book for everyone.
Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls
T Kira Madden
If I had to rate this book I’d give it 4.5 stars and suggest everyone read it (but only if you feel comfortable given there are a lot of dark topics).
Wave
Sonali Deraniyagala
I recommend this book with a grain of salt. Yes, it’s important to read the real stories of such events and to remind you about how precious life is. However, if you’re in a dark place from suffering a loss recently or for any other reason that causes you to suffer from depression; don’t read this yet.
I Feel Bad About My Neck
Norah Ephron
Short, quick read and quite enjoyable despite some moments of privilege and fatphobia.
Wanderlust: A Love Affair with Five Continents
Elisabeth Eaves
Overall it was an interesting travel memoir that wasn’t quite what I expected but still enjoyable!
