Amie's Book Reviews

“I want my own kisses, adventures, and mishaps. The next time my life is on fire, it better be because I lit the match.”
― L.L. Madrid, My Lips, Her Voice

“How do we stitch together a society severed by incendiary rhetoric and callous political opportunism? At a time when it’s tempting to see our neighbors as others rather than as people like us, how do we even begin to care for ourselves and our communities?”
― Brandon J. Wolf, A Place for Us: A Memoir

“White room, silver tools, white chair, silver smile.”
― Abigail Miles, The Building That Wasn't

“Our world is designed for extroverts. We place a high value on those with a seemingly effortless knack for socializing. Magnetic personalities are deified, while the more muted among us are bulldozed in conversation. We turn every email into a video call and race to fill silence with sound, indicting quiet as “awkward” without considering its necessity.”
― Brandon J. Wolf, A Place for Us: A Memoir
