The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
This was the perfect thriller for someone like me, as I enjoy a good spooky and/or twisted plot line, but nothing too horrific that it will leave me with nightmares…
The Grace Year by Kim Liggett
The dystopian world in which the novel takes place evokes major A Handmaids Tail-vibes while the content of the book feels very Lord of the Flies meets The Hunger Games…
The Stationary Shop by Marjan Kamali
This book reminded me of a cross between Next Year in Havana, The Art of Hearing Heartbeats and The Notebook. The book is beautifully written and I felt genuinely connected to each of the characters…
More Than Enough by Elaine Welteroth
The book is technically a memoir, but it contains so many kernels of wisdom, I think it could also be classified as a self-help book…
Ok Boomer, Let’s Talk by Jill Filipovic
Given the content of this book, I figured it would be interesting to share both the millennial and the boomer perspective. SO I have a special guest reviewer providing the second review…my Dad 😺
Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid
The way this book addresses racial bias as well as the tendency of some white people to overcompensate to a point of fetishization was incredibly fascinating…
The Ride of a Lifetime by Robert Iger
I always love reading about entrepreneurs and business executives and learning about how they achieved their success. If you enjoy business books, I highly recommend this one…

A Burning by Megha Majumdar
A Burning takes place in contemporary India and follows three central characters - all of whom are struggling with their place in life…
The Undocumented Americans by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio
While this book is completely heartbreaking, it’s one that every American should read…
A Woman is No Man by Etaf Rum
Taking place in Brooklyn, A Woman Is No Man alternates between two time periods (and three narrators) as it follows the lives of three generations of Palestinian women in America…
Mindf*ck by Christopher Wiley
If you’re still scratching your head trying to figure out how Trump won the 2016 presidential election or how the Brexit referendum passed… you may want to give this a read!
An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
Although this book is a work of fiction, it perfectly demonstrates the racial injustice that plagues the judicial system in the United States…
Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer
if you enjoy nonfiction novels and/or adventure stories, Into Thin Air is a must read. It’s a bit of an older book - it was first published in 1997, but I just read it earlier this year...
The Beast by Oscar Martinez
This book is intense. But SO eye opening. I have a lot of thoughts...
The Mothers by Britt Bennett
After finishing The Vanishing Half, I couldn’t wait to read Brit Bennet’s debut novel, The Mothers, and it did not disappoint…
