A book published in 2018
A Higher Loyalty - Truth, Lies, and Leadership, by James Comey


message 1067: by Megan (new)

Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments Just completed #43 (book read by stranger) - Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Great writing! At the beginning, I enjoyed how the tangents played into the story of the entire family that lead to the present of one individual. It felt like having an actual conversation with the author. In the middle, it lost a little steam around the parents' story. But the last third of the book was fascinating. I'm not a huge fan of the nonlinear ending, but I understand why the author left it that way. Part of me is glad I read this book now, as I have a much greater understanding, based on research and presentations, of gender identity and physical gender issues and sexual orientation, then I would have had as a college student in 2002. But part of me wonders if I had read this book in college, if it would have spurred me to realization faster. This should be required reading! 4.5 stars

Additional challenge: all by female Authors so far.
8/10 done Update on message #728

1. **A book made into a movie you’ve already seen**
Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Mathematicians Who Helped Win the Space Race
Book is better.

2. **True crime**
I am going to say Radum Girls. Effectively the crimes committed are of labour laws and occupational safety and those too are crimes. They got enough victims and the court cases are harrowing

6. **Nordic noir**
Ijsprinces (Iceprincess) Camila Lackberg

9. **A book with a time of day in the title**
Nachtblauw (nacht is night) was read

16. **A book about feminism**
Margaret At took A Handmaids Tale

25. **A book set at sea**
The Bone People By Keri Hulme

44. **A book tied to your ancestry**
Call the Midwife My great great grandmother was a midwife Obviously much earlier than this book was set in but still it was this link that got me to watch the series and read this book. My midwife ancestor was the reason why my female line were educated from early on. So you see that link is very much there
