| Reading about the European and US exploitation of the New World's indigenous people (and those brought here against their will) was really emotionally difficult at times. But I learned so much that I'd never known. Classroom history tends to gloss ov ...more | |

| I'm a huge fan of STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING, so I was excited to read this memoir/history. Kendi expertly weaves his own story into broader thinking about how we deal and don't deal with issues of race in our country. The book is thoughtful and thou ...more | |

A quick reading memoir about a mother-daughter relationship that lacks boundaries in a significant way. The author does a good job of balancing memory with perspective. A good read - and would be a great one to discuss with a book club. Very quick! B ...more |

| I chose to read this one (after reading its companion Sapiens) before receiving the editorial letter for my novel SPONSORED (coming in September 2020). It's set in the future, so I wanted to get in the mood. I like the way Harari uses the past to thi ...more | |

“I'm crying for the little girl whose mother divorced her father, the girl who wanted to fall in love for the first time but wasn't ready for sex, the girl who dated a boy just because he wasn't the first one, the girl who fell hard for the guy with the easy smile and the green eyes, the girl who needed to prove she could hook up on a class trip, the girl who rand for student council just to impress a guy, the girl who lost her best friend, the girl whose father doesn't care anymore, the girl who doesn't have the money for college, the girl who just wants her grandma to fix everything, the girl who doesn't talk to anyone about anything, the girl who just can't fall in love again - even if a sweet guy folds a thousand paper cranes. Just for her.”

'What kind of thing?'
'Love, dating, the inevitable ensuing heartbreak.”
